Transformers 2 Already Written?

Michael Bay, director of the smash-hit Transformers film, says that the writer's guild strike hasn't affected  the next Transformers script because he has already written it.  "I've been writing Transformers 2," said Bay. "We've got our characters all designed. I always write all my scripts, my movies anyway so at least I've got something to give the writers. It's like a template. We have a really good outline so I worked on that." He added, "We had to because I want to make my date. I'm not going to let the strike take me down."

Bay also says he has some new characters made for the sequel. "When you do your first movie, you break the back of it. Now we can have a lot more fun. We can actually make the depth of these characters more fun and a lot more interesting characters. To see actually what you can achieve visually, you never know. When you go into a movie, you never know visually. I think I've got a lot of fun, interesting, funny characters."
