Interview with Transformers Writers Orci and Kurtzman
SuperHeroHype.com were able to get hold of Transformers movie writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and have a good long chat about their work on the Transformers movie (and Star Trek).
SHH! There were a lot of producers on this movie, so did you have to work with a lot of different people in developing the script? What was the process like in getting the script ready to shoot?
Orci It can get tricky when too many cooks are in the kitchen early on, and I think Lorenzo di Bonaventura was really good at kind of circling the wagons around us and giving us the space to find out what our instincts were and then bringing it to the group and going from there.
Kurtzman Lorenzo’s also not precious about anything. He’s very willing to throw out ideas. He’ll be the first to tell you, “Look, you might like this, you might hate it, but here’s a thought, maybe we go this way” and it’s a great way to start engaging in a brainstorm, ’cause usually your best decisions come when everyone’s kind of fluid with ideas.

Interview with Producer Callum Godfrey
QJ.net have managed to get an exclusive interview with Transformers The Game producer Callum Godfrey, who works for publsher Activision. Some questions have been answered before but some challenge Mr Godfrey.
“The next gen graphics are really something. The robots are incredibly detailed, full of inner workings and moving parts. The environments are large, and have to cope with all of the games destruction and interactive elements. I think we have pushed parts of the hardware pretty hard and on the graphics side when you think how many moving parts go in to making up a Transformation sequence then you can see how we might be getting close to that potential you mention.”
Based on early reviews, the Playstation 3, especially, has not been pushed graphically.
The full interview can be found here.
