Major portions of Michael Bays Transformers 5 will be filmed in Detroit this summer, Paramount Pictures and the state of Michigan officials have announced.
The studio and state anticipate an in-state spend of $80 million and projects making 850 cast and crew hires, 450 of which will be Michigan residents equating to 228 full-time positions. The production also expects to hire 700 extras.
Paramount will receive $21 million of state incentives for filming in Michigan, under agreements entered into before the state legislature eliminated the film office incentive program in July. Parts of the first, third and fourth Transformers movies were also shot in Michigan.
