Orci and Kurtzman Not Returning To Write Transformers 3
Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (The Island, The Legend of Zorro, Mission: Impossible III), after writing the first two, will not be returning to the script duties for “Transformers 3.”
Orci made a post on the Don Murphy forum saying he and Kurtzman won’t be involved with the third film. That means that Ehren Kruger (Scream 3, The Ring, The Ring Two, The Brothers Grimm), who also worked on the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen script, will be going it alone on part three, laboring under the iron fist of director Michael Bay.

In addition, LatinoReview posted a piece from an interview with “Transformers” writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, where they reveal a bit more information about the sequel.
Warning: possible spoilers follow:
When the story begins, the Autobots and the military have been waging a secret war against the Decpticons. As more of the giant robots continue to resurface, though, it becomes apparent the Transformers have been part of Earth’s history for longer than they’d led mankind to believe. One group of bureaucrats even womders if the Decepticons are only appearing because of the Autobot presence. Desperate not to leave Earth undefended, Optimus Prime turns to Sam and asks him to become a human advocate, someone who will convince mankind that the Autobots should be allowed to saty. Sam refuses to believe he can help, though, wanting to go to college and live a normal life – as normal as possible with the strange thoughts and visions that have haunted him since being exposed to the All Spark’s primal energies two years earlier. Alas, Sam’s refusal will have harsh consequences for himself, the Autobots and possibly the entire world. The Decepticons fallen leader, Megatron has been resurrected and brings with him an ancient evil from the Transformers own history.
“All great sequels have an incredibly frightening bad guy,” says Kurtzman, amending their earlier list of traits, “who challenges your hero in a way that is unique,” They found such a character in the comic-book Transformers mythology, a primordial creature known only as The Fallen. “He was one of the first Transformers. He was Lucifer. He was the fallen angel. And it just felt like a great place to come from.”
“Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen” opens to theaters on June 26th.

Transformers 2 Robots and New Photos Revealed!
Yahoo and USA Today have revealed new photos and full list of robots that will appear in “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”
Paramount Pictures claiming that it’s a full list of all the robots that will appear in the movie. Michael Bay has already confirmed that Megatron will be in the “Transformers 2.” So why isn’t he on the list?
AUTOBOTS
Jetfire:
As in the original, this fighter plane crash-landed on Earth a long time ago, and he will become a reformed Decepticon now fighting for the humans. His alternate form is the SR-71 Blackbird, the outdated but still-sleek Cold War spy plane.
“He’s old, craggy, forgetful … doesn’t work very well. Can’t transform very well, because he’s very geriatric. They get stuck with him a lot,” Bay says. “He knows the plan of the bad guys, but he forgets all the good parts of the plan.”
Star Trek Sequel In The Works
Before JJ Abrams’ “Star Trek” premiere on May 8, 2009, Paramount studio, so confident in success of the movie, is already moving forward with a sequel.
Screenwriters Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and “Lost” producer and writer Damon Lindelof will pen the screenplay.
J.J. Abrams is onboard to produce the follow-up alongside Bryan Burk but no decision has been made yet on whether Abrams will return behind the camera for the sequel.
Story is still in the early stage but Orci, Kurtzman and Lindelof will wait to hear from the fans before deciding which way to go next. They are aiming to deliver their script by Christmas for what would likely be a summer 2011 release.
“There’s obviously a lot of hubris involved in signing on to write a sequel of a movie that hasn’t even come out yet. But we’re so excited about the first one that we wanted to proceed.”
“Obviously we discussed ideas, but we are waiting to see how audiences respond next month. With a franchise rebirth, the first movie has to be about origin. But with a second, you have the opportunity to explore incredibly exciting things. We’ll be ambitious about what we’ll do,”
said Damon Lindelof.
