Transformers 2 — What Happens when a Movie Isn't Written | Anatomy Of A Failure

Michael Bay's Transformers movies might've become indistinguishable noise over the years, but if there is one worth talking about, it's 2009's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen starring Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox -- a rare case of a movie that wasn't ever written. A writer's strike began right before production and forced Bay to go make this film with nothing but a tiny document of major plot points given by the screenwriters. The movie did make bank at the box office but the quality wasn't anything to write home about. So, in today's anatomy of a failure let's look at Revenge of the Fallen and see what happens when you make a movie without a script or a writer. Hopefully the studios are listening.
