Orci & Kurtzman - We Sympathize w/ People Offended By Revenge of the Fallen

Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, two of the three writers of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, have a message to those who were offended by the Twins in the film: "we sympathize."

They also distanced themselves from the controversy, revealing that the gold tooth on Skids was not in the script. "It shows you that we don't control every aspect of the movie," Mr. Kurtzman tells Film School Rejects.

Asked if the scriptwriters were offended by the material, they say they are not, but Mr. Kurtzman added, "I wasn’t thrilled. I certainly wasn’t thrilled."

"It’s really hard for us to sit here and try to justify it." Mr. Kurtzman continues, "I think that would be very foolish, and if someone wants to be offended by it, it’s their right. We were very surprised when we saw it, too, and it’s a choice that was made."

When asked about Transformers 3, Mr. Kurtzman reveals that the film has been greenlit, but "I don’t think anyone has any idea."

They also consider the third film as just another entry, and not as a finale to the Transformers live action film franchise.
