Transformers 3's Friday Return to Chicago

Friday brought the return of Transformers 3 to Chicago along Michigan Avenue aka the Magnificent Mile. It seems that Friday was mostly a low key day of filming with the actors, which now includes Josh Duhamel, running all over the set to film scenes along the spectacularly devastated street in front of the Wrigley Building. Apparently much of the action and pyrotechnics is going to occur on Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully the live streams will continue to allow us to catch some of that action.

Thanks to Colin Hinkle below is a fantastic video that shows a scene being filmed involving Bumblebee, Shia LaBeouf, and Rosie Huntington-Whitely among the rubble as they go running to the car for a quick escape. Click here for his other video from last week's shoot with shows all the Transformers vehicles driving by as they film a scene. On top of that he provided the below images of the set on fire, the crew prepping, Patrick Dempsey, Shia, Rose, and Michael Bay on set and more.

Also below are links to a news report from WGN TV that shows Chicagoans are taking the traffic and pedestrian issues in stride, Seibertron's seven videos that show a little bit of the set and Ratchet in action along with their 245 image gallery.Read More »
