Even More Photos From The TRANSFORMERS 3 Shoot In Chicago!! That Race Car Again!! More Sprawling Destruction!! Parachutes!!
Merrick here...
More on the filming of TRANSFORMERS 3 from our fine and industrious folks in Chicago (well done, everybody!)
These just arrived from DarkJedi. One pic (the wrecked city block) is a different angle of an image we saw HERE. The other? Kind of a cool shot and I'm wondering how it'll fit into the film. The second image is EMBIGGENABLE.
One Creative Dude sent along another group of photos, this one showing more angles of the racecar Transformer we were introduced to HERE. :twould suck to be that car on the edge of that bridge...
Finally, Highrise -who sent us some of the images we saw HERE, grabbed a video of those folks jumping off of the tower. He was kind enough to embed the vid for our consideration.

Apparently spielberg is more involved
by BP_drills_america_a_new_asshole
in this one. It was his idea to have transformers on the moon in the 60s, which is the first scene. Why the hell didn't he just direct these films himself...
-
Is that racecar Bluestreak?
-
Bay will trim 30 mins of non stop action into 2 mins of :<P> people screaming <P>sun flares <P>360 degree slow mo hero shots<P> American flag flapping in the breeze.<P> random quick-cuts of incoherent robots flipping around <P> people outrunning explosions in slow mo
-
Because I hate the fucking series. You TF haters should shut the fuck up and do the same.
-
But I absolutely hated RotF, what should I do ganymede3010?? Tell me what I am to do!?
-
I mean...cos that Bumblebee car...pretty gay. Maybe this time there can be two gay cars with crushes on him. Hopefully the mom can walk through another mens' locker room again - that was so great.

Kevin_Costner... Like you said you liked the first one.
by ganymede3010
So I'm not directing my vitriol at anyone who enjoyed some aspects of the series. However the rabid haters of the entire series would be better served if they avoided it all together.
-
judging bay movies for lack of depth is like judging nolan movies for lack of comedy. they achieve what they set out to do. now lets all drool over expendables!!! hypocrites
-
But megan fox not being in 3 to be replaced by another impossibly attractive girl is senseless to me...oh well, haters suck it cuz you will see this before I will no doubt

HEY, THAT'S REALLY COOL OF THOSE CHICAGOANS TO CONTRIBUTE
by BringingSexyBack
these pics and vids. TF's not my thing but it must be pretty cool to watch them filming it.
-
Seriously. Good to see some more footage shot on our soil.

hey 2007, Nolan has plenty of comedy in his movies
by KEVIN_COSTNERS_RECYCLED_PISS
His last movie had a clown in it for gods sake!
-
I didn't laugh once. even at all of bruce waynes quips
-
and wanted to rip off some of Nolan's style, so he said "I need to film in Chicago too!" I mean, they're practically filming on the same streets TDK did.
-
from Star Wars-related conventions? Way to be on the ball AICN! Jabba the Lucas screwed Prowse out of a decent paycheck when he made the first SW films, didn't tell Prowse he was going to replace his voice and face with other actors, and now he's taking away his ability to make a living at conventions that he lives for. I've met the man and Prowse is very kind and gracious. Fuck you Lucas, you greedy, power-hungry hack!
-
You totally missed the point of what KEVIN_COSTNERS_RECYCLED_PISS was saying. You possess neither brains, nor sense, nor humour. Well done.
-
or maybe the script"written by bay" has chicago in the locations. either way Bays potography >= nolans hired gun.
-
and he missed the point of what i was saying. I figure ignorant sarcasm should be responded with the same.
-
Is that true? Where did you hear that? Fuck you George Pukas you bloated shit, you have made trillions from milking the teats of star wars till they are red raw. Why can't you let an old man earn a few from the odd convention? Unless of course there is more to this? Maybe Prowse turns up drunk and bitches? Hmmm I doubt it....Fuck you Lucas! And fuck you too Bay your transformer films are shit.
-
And falling into helicopter blades would be a shitty way to die.

I'm going to laugh when Christ Nolan selects Bay to Direct Super
by ganymede3010
He's already dropping hints, by him indicating he's a HUGE fan of Michael Bay's movies. I can't wait to see the fanboi's heads explode muhahahahaha!

he "Transformers 3" production crew prepare for a scene on Wacker Drive. (Luis Arroyave, Chicago Tribune / July 19, 2010). You know an action sequence was intense when onlookers near the film set are cheering after it’s done. That’s what happened inside the Corner Bakery on Wacker Drive on Monday. Customers, many of whom came in specifically to get a front row view of “Transformers 3” filming, let out a chorus of “woos” once the shoot ‘em up battle scene ended. The scene lasted around 30 seconds and featured soldiers coming out of various hiding places, including a flipped over CTA bus, with guns blazing to shoot whatever it was in front of them (I assume they were trying to take something big down judging by the way their guns were pointing). Adding to the excitement were the explosions going off in the middle of the action. The sound of the explosions, combined with the sound of rapid gunfire, had the windows at Corner Bakery rattling. According to a production assistant working with the film, the guns (maybe M-16 rifles?) were real and shooting blanks. In addition to the flipped over bus, the war zone on Wacker included a taxi with “Evanston Taxi Company” on one of its doors and a debris-covered fire truck with “East Chicago Fire Dept.” on one of its doors. “Transformers 3” will continue shooting on Wacker through Wednesday. The area between Michigan Avenue and Wabash has been closed off for the shoot and will re-open Thursday at 5 a.m. Michigan was back to normal Monday -- and wreckage free -- after it was closed off for filming over the weekend.

pronounced "chic-ago"-Kelly Bundy

I though the TF movie were pretty good. The last one did need some editing though. Specifically that human decepticon chick. She was hot though.
-
I still think the city battle in the first one is amazing.
-
because the sooner Bay's version is over the sooner we'll get a reboot.

Practically? No, they are filming on the same damn street
by TheJudger
That TDK did. In the other thread the pic with the rubbed out block of cars. That shot is right out of TDK when we see a armored truck go flying out from under that street into the water when the joker attacks the dent transport team.
-
and say how important and sad it is that he has passed. Fucking twofaced as hell. The films have made billions. give prowse a big fat check and iron this shit out. Out and Celebration 5 fans. When Lucas comes ontostage chant "Vader Rape, Vader Rape, Vader Rape, Vader Rape, Vader Rape, Vader Rape" and "We Want Prowse, Double Jowls, We Want Prowse, Double Jowls, We Want Prowse, Double Jowls"
-
so i can't help but notice the bus in these pics has an "mta" logo, whereas here in Chicago everything is CTA. What do you guys think? Is Bay just an idiot, or do they not care about minute details like this?
-
Do you know how much Prowse charges for his sig? 40 bucks a pop. Now, tell me who's greedy.
-
at rare Star Wars events to make a few thousand, meanwhile George Lucas sits on a multi-billion dollar empire. You can't tell the fuckin difference. Prowse is getting by a middle class salary, Lucas is one of the richest men on the planet. One big reason he's so rich is how effective Vader was on-screen. Lucas is a soulless snake.
-
I heard it from my cousin. Just Google "David Prowse" and there will be many sites posting this news (NY Daily News, etc.) It's also on Prowse's official website. I agree; fuck Lucas and fuck Bay. P.S. Fuck RPLcock as well. Ignorant rim-jobing cunt. I met Prowse and he was a mellow, classy, sober dude who appreciates his fans. He only charges $20 per autograph compared to say Mark Hamill who charges $125 or Harrison Ford who charges several hundred ($400-$500!) Even in those cases, that's peanuts compared to the billions Lucas has made by all the overcharging and double-dipping for Star Wars and Indiana Jones related crap. Oooooooh yeah, just bukkaked your mother, sister, and grandmother RPLcock. In the face!
-
Finally, someone who doesn't have his head up his ass. Right on man!
-
Even better idea: when Lucas comes onstage at CV, throw copies of the Phantom Menace, Special Editons, and Crystal Skullfuck at him.
-
... thousands of Chicago residents for the sake of making a bad movie? Where's Al Capone when we really need him?
-
Never understimate the AICN's ability to kiss the ass, lick the balls and suck the dick of Mickey Bay.
-
If by directing Transformers ment that spielberg would had not make Indy 4, then i totally agree, it would had bveen better for everybody if Spielberg had directed this Transformer movies. The side effect would be that Mickey Bay wouldn't had a franchise with a recognizable name attached to work in and he could had made two movie flops by now, which ment, his career would be closer to be terminated in big studios Hollywood productions. Basically, everybody who cares about cinema would win.
-
Imgine how much plot Bay could put into his movies if he abstained from shoving the american flag and the over-extended 360 degree panoramic shots in his movies. His movies would actually have a plot. It would still be a dumb plot, but at least they would had one.
-
This movies owe me bacon.
-
Bay's movie only suceeds in making total complete braindead skull-numbing stupidity. If you count that as an achievement, then Bay suceeds 100%. Fucker is as sucessful in making filmed stupidity as Stanley Kubrick or Akira Kurosawa were in making film quality.

-
Nuff Said.
-
And we were driving by right as they were about to start filming after waiting for like 10 minutes. The entire bus errupted into "boo's" as Michael Bay turned around, put his hands on his hips, and gave us his ultra-lame dissapointing glare as we rolled by... hilarious stuff.
-
Ghostbusters 3 is dead. Bill Murray said so himself. After seeing Harold Ramis' stinktastic "Year One", none of the other Ghostbuster stars wanted in on the project. Check Darkhorizons for yourself if you don't believe me. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
-
with that logic that means going to a circus is pointless cause there's no character driven story, that means going to a stand up comedy show is point less that means watching (award winning) films such as Baraka is point...less. and of course watching comdey films is pointless. bay isn't failing at making a kubrick film. not every film has to be about shit you looking for in films you like. it's about entertaining an audience and if you'll ever admitt to sitting in the audience at a bay film you'll have to admit that they are very much entertained and engaged...often times applauding at the end. so enough with you propaganda re-definition of what we all must like to be cool and smart like you and just accept the truth. I don't like what bay stands for but I sure as hell appreciate what he does. He's not making a story/character driven "film" he's making something people will go and pay to see by the thousands and come out ready to see some more...America...fuck ya.
-
Heh? What kind of nonsense is that?
-
The funny thing about geeks who like and support Bay and his movies is that they are loving the very type of frat boy bully who used to kick their asses and steal their lunch money at high school. Bay is nothing but that, a frat boy, the type who would piss and shit on any geek, if he could ever bother to come a mile near one. And now he makes this fratboy pure movies, and geeks here love and support them? It would be the same as this geeks getting their ass kciked and punched in the face and bullied out of their lunch money and thanking the bullies for that. What's the fucking logic in that shit? Really, geeks liking Bay's fratboy movies is just stupid beyond belief.
-
"The funny thing about geeks who like and support Bay and his movies is that they are loving the very type of frat boy bully who used to kick their asses and steal their lunch money at high school" that pretty much sums up why you do and will always hate the mans product. some sort of lingering wanting of vengence of a kid that put you in a locker some time ago and in you mind you have placed bay face squarely on him. stop telling "geeks" how to feel about a man you call a jock/bully. you don't know anything about the man, public perception is worthless when compared to a sit down face to face with someone. one day I hope you have the experience with the filmmaker.
-
Sounds like someone got their ass kicked and lunch money stolen,hmm AsimovLives. What's funny is that they did that to you.... IN COLLEGE?? HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA Last time I saw that happen was in Revenge of the Nerds!!!!
-
I always thought Michael Bay was more like the nerdy AV club type of guy. I don't think film major students are the bullying type. I never thought jocks eventually ended up as 90's music video directors. Michael Bay may have been a soccer jock? Tennis jock? Ping Pong? You ever been bullied by a ping pong jock, AsimovLives? In the locker room, did all the tennis players poke you with their rackets? Did the soccer players harass you in French and pull your jockstrap down?
-
Maybe the curling jocks hit you with their tiny brooms and made you sit on their rock? Sounds like you have some deep-seated issues brewing inside you, AsimovLives. And poor Michael, or Michelle as you like to call him (some male-female identity issues out of this too), must face the brunt of your emotional turmoil. If you are gay, just come out of the closet. Everyone will here will support you.
-
It is well accepted now in society. Some of the most successful people are gay, and don't have to work as a stenographer in a downtown courtroom. And being bullied when you were a kid shouldn't make you project the quarterback's personality into a movie about talking robots, unless you're a complete idiot.. then you would be just a gay guy who happens to be a dumbfuck.
-
And substitutes a dollar bill where his fucking soul should be.
-
"There is no tighter shirt, we looked." <P> A nerdy jewish kid as the main protagonist ain't really pro-jock, sonny jim. All the jocks in the TF films are fuckin' knob-ends!
-
I'd rather be able to do what the fuck I wanted as a film maker rather than have to make piss poor looking budget student films. <P> Bay is a success story. His films are nothing but successes. Suck shit. Jealousy can be bad for your health.
-
It is cock. Pure cock. The mother fucker makes NO apologies for him kicking the audience in the head and calling them "stupid cunts for paying to see my shit movies".<br><br> I aint jealous of the mulleted swine, I just hate no talent bastards who foist shit like he does onto a nodding dog audience who continue to swallow the fetid wank, lick their lips, say thank you and can I have some more.... <br><br> There isn't mountain high enough from which I can shout my contempt of this evil celluloid raping dirt bag piece of mung. <br><br> If he had talent and squandered it, at least it would be something. There is no excuse for what he does. He knows he is making shit. And he knows that the public will keep watching the shit he makes. <br><br> Pretty soon people HAVE to catch on to him; they are already doing it with Jerry Bruckheimer- Prince of Persia and Sorcerors Apprentice both made for around $150m and BOTH fucking US domestic flops!!!! You can't just throw effects at a screen with no cohesive story to bond them and expect to have a hit on your hands. <br><br> BAY!!! People will sniff you out, you FUCKING RAT!!!!!
-
I only watch Bruce Lee movies to see him kick the fuck out of people. I only look at porn to see naked chicks. <P> You have to admit Michael Bay has unparalleled quality control when it comes to CGI and sound design, though.
-
If there was an oscar for most squanderedFX in a movie, it would go to TF2.<br><br> The guy takes what could have been an awesome action set piece in Prime fighting numerous decepticons and throwws everything including the kitchen sink at the screen, making the action unwatchable and the death set piece entirely redundant as you are too worn out following the scene to care about the emotional climax. You are just glad that it is over so your eyes can stop bleeding.<br><br> Being good at FX and knowing how and when to use it to add flavour to a movie is completely different to filling a movie with FX to hide the paper thin plot, shit dialogue and piss poor acting.
-
You dont watch porn for the depth of acting and fantastic script work? FOR SHAME SIR!!!! ;)
