The final word.

There were a lot of clues pointing that the story treatment is legitimate including some comments made by MichaelBay.com's webmaster "nelson." However, the webmaster suggests that the story treatment is a "far cry from the shooting script," and even that it may not be used at all.

In a comment posted over at The Allspark, "nelson" spells it out: "Fake and real are relative my friend," the admin writes. "Fake as in it's a treatment that won't be used? Yes," he continues, "Real as in it was not a fan who wrote it? Yes."

While it is said that it will not be used, there may still be hope that the newly-hired screenwriters will incorporate some of the details from the leaked story treatment.

A real shame, except for the absence of Shockwave and the Dinobots that would have been the perfect TF movie.

Origin of Leaked Transformers 2 Treatment Revealed!
Written by Robert Sanchez
Thursday, 11 October 2007

The internet has been buzzing over the alleged leaked treatment for Transformers 2 and for good reason, it was damn good. It had plenty of elements that fan boys are drooling over and then the webmaster from MichaelBay.com, Nelson, chimes in by alluding that it was not fan fiction but instead a treatment that had been submitted by a Hollywood writer(s).
This began the speculation over who the writer was. Who had submitted this totally awesome treatment? Some, including myself, thought that it might have been something that Ehren Kruger used to get his new gig as the third writer for Transformers 2.

So was it Ehren Kruger? Nope. So was it Orci or Kurtzman? Nope. Was a Hollywood screenwriter just submitting a treatment? Yes and no. It was actually a pitch/treatment that was submitted by a couple of unsigned writers that have some Hollywood ties.

Last night I was contacted by the pair who really wanted to clear up any confusion that fans may have.

We have edited the following email to protect the writers’ identities -

Begin Email

We are two unrepresented writers with links to [edited]. While we did intend to have Bay's people read the treatment, in no way is our treatment officially linked with the studios or either camp. Prior to this whole debacle, no one associated with the movie had read our treatment. They signed off on a writer before we could get it in the hands of our contacts. Not to mention, the legal tape we would have had to get through was an additional issue as unrepresented writers.

As best we can figure, someone took the pdf file of the original treatment from [edited], doctored it, then tried to pass it off as some kind of scoop, posting it either on Saturday or Sunday (when the leaked treatment first appeared, apparently). Though we initially posted the treatment in what we thought was an obscure corner of the internet, it's obvious to us now that there is no such thing. [edited] is a forum I post on quite regularly ([edited] is where I went to school), writing reviews and sometimes posting about my experiences in LA.

While we are flattered by the overwhelmingly positive reaction the treatment itself has garnered, again, it was by no means ever considered by the powers that be as a viable option, nor read by them either. We just want that made clear to as many people as IESB can reach. The rights of the studio need to be protected, and the production deserves to progress without false perceptions of their actual plot/story. In addition, we ask that it be made clear that we are not only agitated, but dumbfounded by this whole phenomenon and apologize for any inconvenience it must have caused not only the fans, but those involved with the project as well (especially for Don Murphy...wow).

End of Email

The writing duo supplied the IESB with the original unmarked pdf and have given enough information to confirm that treatment is indeed theirs.

So there you have it, the leaked Transformers 2 treatment is not official.

We can only hope that that real story for Transformers 2 is just a big and epic as this one was. Advice to two original writers, get an agent because your writing and understanding of this genre appears to be top notch.

i'm curious to know what the prequel animated piece at Wal-mart is, but i'll probably hold off on getting any TF version unless it's a good price first day. kind of tired of new movies pushing back up towards $18 ~ $25 their first week.

well maybe you should just STFU altogether on the lame sony jokes, 99.9% of TNL did.

If i had said HD-DVD this would have been a NON-ISSUE. But because i have a blu-ray player and chose to buy Blu-Rays you need to have an uproar.

In other news, yes praxis that was a decent scene too. ILM did an amazing job, it was just ruined by the shaky cam. Shaky can can be done RIGHT, but its amazingly easy to do it incredibly wrong.
