Akiva Goldsman, who will be heading the writers team for Transformers 5, spoke about the process in a recent interview with Deadline.

A Bumblebee Spin-off Is In The Works?

The writers room for the project has hired a very eclectic bunch, rich with talent. Goldsman dished about the idea behind getting together this team and how they were inspired by the teams behind Monsters Room and Stars Wars.

"There is such reciprocity between TV and movies now, that we're borrowing this from TV," Goldsman said. "I got a taste of this from JJ Abrams when I came in to write an episode of Fringe, and then Jeff Pinkner let me hang around for four years like the drunk uncle. The whole process of the story room was really delightful, and we are seeing it more in movies as this moves toward serialized storytelling. There are good rooms around town, including the Monsters Room at Universal, the Star Wars room, and of course, at Marvel. We're trying to beg, borrow and steal from the best of them, and gathered a group of folks interested in developing and broadening this franchise. There is a central corridor of movies that has been proceeding quite well, but our challenge will be to answer, where do we go from here?"
