Brooklyn Bridge Rumor Solved?

Filming In Brooklyn may have figured out why there was no Transformers 2 production at the Brooklyn Bridge over the last week despite rumors. It turns out there was one but no one may have noticed.

Last week, rumors were flying far and wide about a weekend shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which had been filming in Philadelphia before moving on to Princeton, NJ this week. Filming In Brooklyn had stopped by the bridge over the weekend to check things out, but found no signs of filming, and figured that maybe the rumor had been completely false.

However, Filming In Brooklyn has just learned that T2 had a permit to shoot from a helicopter for a couple of hours in the middle of the night. They were supposed to be shooting a car driving over the Brooklyn Bridge. And while we still don’t have confirmation of the shoot taking place, it’s completely possible that it happened without anyone really noticing.

Very interesting if true. Second unit crews exist for this very reason, to get shots that don't require cast participation to execute. I guess we will find out when the movies comes out. Thanks to Amy for the link.
