No matter when “Transformers 3″ is made, it will have a new writer or writers. Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman will not be writing the third installment according to Orci.
Orci made the announcement on the Don Murphy boards.
“Time for fresh blood!” writes Orci. “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 new songs. We’ll see.”
No word yet on who would write the third installment in the franchise.
I'd just like to say that Robert Orci has been very considerate to the Transformers fan base. He has been very active on various transformers related forums answering fan questions and addressing concerns. I hope Mr. Orci has a vote in who replaces him and instills the importance of listening to the community in them.
