TF3 Chicago base located?

 

[SpiderByte]

Too hard to tell, from this point. It could be any film being done in Chicago. It's definetly SOME type of production base, but its hard to tell if its TF3 or not.

It's still a possibility, but it's hard to tell at this point.

 

[Dr Lee]

TBH i'm just guessing that that is the BoOs as they were to start filming in chicago soonish...

I could just be adding 2+2 and getting 84...

here's something interesting....

Yeah, I walked past those "craters" yesterday downtown on my way to work. People thought it was just construction, but I saw some little signs around the lamp posts similar to the "Rory's Last Kiss" ones but only mentioned "filming".

 

[Dr Lee]

Whoops Dr Lee, I'm sorry, didn't notice one of the links you've posted already has a link to those pics . . .

 

[Dr Lee]

No worries mate....

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Why is she in a cartoon Obama apron? Is that part of the movie, or something just happening on the set?

 

[Dr Lee]

Guessing it's part of her costume....

 

[PyroChamber]

So still no word on who she's playing?

 

[dark_b]

she looks like a Victoria's supermodel walking down the street.hahahahahah

is she in the movie a supermodel or what?

 

[BlackLantern]

I think when they mean she is replacing Megan Fox, they mean replacing as in she will be Mikala (sp?)

 

[Dr Lee]

i've seen nothing to say that she is Mikaela.... in fact i saw comments a while back that she could be a relative....

 

[BlackLantern]

IMDB has her listed as "Mikaela Banes"

 

[dark_b]

there is no way that she is playing mikaela.

 

[BlackLantern]

I think it would be funny and it sends a message to the other ****s in Hollywood...just because you are hot and pretty and the "it" **** of the moment doesn't mean you can't be replaced by another pretty **** who will do the job for cheaper and won't complain

 

[Jake Cassidy]

IMDB has her listed as "Mikaela Banes"

You should know by now that you can't trust IMDB.

Unless she can do an American accent, I doubt she'll be Mikaela.

Mikaela could, all of a sudden, become British, I guess. t:

Deep Thoughts...with Michael Bay

Googling "I hate Michael Bay" gets 1,950 results, with most of that vitriol spewed by Transformers geeks. "I've heard so many people say, 'Michael Bay, you've destroyed my childhood,'" Bay recently told Wired. "I urge them to watch the 1986 movie, go watch the cartoon. You'll want to shoot yourself."

 

[BlackLantern]

now...my cousin, who is 23, was not a big TF fan when he was a kid and recently watched the 1986 film for the first time, partly on my recommendation

he now holds a grudge about it

 

[AnorexicBatman]

The comics are better.

Imagine if 10 years from now, Micheal Bay remade Toy Story but filled it to the brim with explosions, toilet humor and focussed on characters no one cares about.

How would you feel?

What people don't understand is that Bay only cares about the bottom line and nothing else. That's bad. By comparison, someone like the Wachowski brothers at least show some effort. Speed Racer wasn't all that good but there was effort. They failed but they tried to make something unique. Bay is more like the EPIC MOVIE guys

STAR TREK back in the 90's and even the 60's was kinda lame too ya know. It has a fanbase that is often made fun off and it seemed that it was a dead franchise. Then JJ Abrams happened, sure some of the fans were pissed but he reinvigorated the franchise and made it relevant

 

[BlackLantern]

I was kind of joking...but on the comics, seriously no one I knew even knew there were Transformers comics...I didn't even know about them until after the Marvel run had finished

you could line up 10 fans, Id be willing to bet you a shiny nickel that 7 out of those 10 were not aware of the comic books
