Because of the rush to get the flick started to avoid the Writers Guild strike the costs will jump. Also all the stars in the film that will return will get a significant boost in pay. Wouldn't surprise me if LaPoof jumps at least 5 million in pay for the sequel. Add in the fact that the action will need to be bigger, badder, better, and you are looking at a budget at around $175 - $200 million, or about 25% more than the first. Of course the return is expected to be higher as well as the franchise has now been proven and there is even greater merchandising opportunities.

So will the cost of production be significantly less for T2? Making their return on investment a hell of a lot more than T1. Good point. So will the cost of production be significantly less for T2?

The script is done or nearly done Shooting only takes 90 to 120 days max Returning actors lowers the delay in casting Unless the company is seriously redesigning the transformers, little work needs to be done to rebuild robots, meaning post production can be done in about a year (or less) So - my guess is it will be done <i>just</i> in time for the premiere.

Less than two years to make this movie seems unattainable to me. I wonder if they have been filming yet? Less than two years to make this movie seems unattainable to me.
