According to Slashfilm, Roberto Orci confirmed in a forum post that he and Alex Kurtzman would not return at all for Transformers 3, leaving script duties entirely in the hands of Ehren Kruger, who also worked on the ROTF script..
Responding to one fans query as to whether they were off the project, Orci said..
“It’s true. Time for fresh blood! The main reason we would move on is because we risk getting stale and comfortable. If you only sing one song for too long, you miss the opportunity to sing news songs. We’ll see.”
Apparently, Kruger is credited(if thats the right word) with the majority of the "humor" in ROTF, which many found unfunny and very irritating. Yes, I am aware that some found it delightful and hilarious too! And it looks like your in for a lot more of the same now that Kruger is in the driving seat(no doubt with Bay campaigning for more scenes of stuff humping)
Another interesting post was from Orci to a fan stating that some parents may avoid brining their kids to the third movie after the crude and distinctly non kid friendly content in ROTF...to which Orci responded, “I can’t blame them.”
With Bay working on a story at the moment, he is aiming for a 2011 release.
I guess its pretty futile, but lets hope by some miracle the next movie has more of this..
And less of this...
