Between comments from Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf, the cast and crew of the "Transformers" franchise haven't exactly denied that "Revenge of the Fallen" had some… problems, to put it mildly.
But Bay, Shia and others have expressed an equal amount of passion towards "Dark of the Moon," the new "Transformers" movie arriving this summer. The just-released trailer has offered serious hope that "Dark of the Moon" will indeed kick some robot tail, but does that still wash the taste of "Fallen" out of our mouths? And, really, won't somebody think of the writers?
Well, it turns out that you don't need to feel too badly for Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, the screenwriting duo who brought you "Revenge of the Fallen." Orci, who has collaborated with Kurtzman on a number of highly respected and anticipated projects including the "Star Trek" reboot and "Cowboys & Aliens," explained to MTV News in a phone interview that they're not upset about the "Fallen" backlash — especially when looking at box-office numbers.
Don't worry, say "Transformers" scribes Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman -- everything you loved about the movie and more will be in the sequel, which they claim has an even better story.
