Eastern State Pen, French Cafe, and Library Sets

Cheeseburger and BP have been busy today visiting multiple sites in the Philly area looking for Transformers 2 production and along the way they some pics for us to enjoy.

First they went by Eastern State Penitentiary and found the TF2 production crew preparing Cell Block 7 for filming for Friday. The block had been closed so that the electronic rigging could be done (as the photos below show) and also just some picks to give you an idea of the area. After that they swung by the Free Library to show the stairs which were part of a shoot last Saturday night after the library closed. Nice old fashion steps so they could be an exterior for many things.

Last was Philadephia City Hall where they found a French Cafe set in the courtyard with tables and a red moped with yellow French license plate outside of it. Apparently the scene involves Sam's parents, the hilarious Kevin Dunn and Julie White (confirmation of her return), as they are on vacation in Paris, France. They believe this indicates that Rittenhouse Square might be a red herring location as the actual filming is going to occur 5 blocks from there. By nightfall they basecamps signs ("E7") where removed but still places for crew parking where marked off.

One last note from Cheeseburger as she found out a chase sequence was filmed on Front Street that involved Bumblebee, a green car, and an orange car. Sadly no pics as didn't find out about until after they where done. The green car could be the same Chevy Beat spotted at the Smithsonian. I believe this is the first time an orange car has been mentioned in assocation with the TF2 filming.

Thanks for the pictures and work Cheeseburger and BP.
