Transformers Movie U-PENN Set Images From Friday

Just got back from the Transformers Movie Set filming currently at the fraternity house knows as"The Castle" on the U-PENN Campus in Philadelphia.

The day started off slow until that call for extras that went out was answered by some very good looking woman. There must have been 5 cargo vans that showed up dumping 3-inch heals, a lot of legs onto the set. Mike has good taste in background noise.

Then the Man himself showed up, Bay pulled in pimping a Black Cadillac Escalade.
He then made his way over to the set an began inspecting the angles he wanted to shoot with, and took aim at a tree blocking his path. For a second I thought he was just going to use a grenade in true Bay style, but he called in a few tree ninjas and the got the job done with out blowing the tree up.

I think Shia LaBeouf was a little late to the set and I got a pic of him running by so he could get to work. The Scene they were shooting today was a Frat party (At Michael Bay's Fraternity) with some out side shots with the woman.

After they got done filming and took a small break Shia LaBeouf was just sitting around and noticed a small crowd of fans. He looked over and saw a little boy who had a Ultimate Bumblebee toy in his hand and he went right over signed it. Highlight of the day.

He also took the time after that to sign every single autograph until every fan who wanted one had received one. That was very cool to take some time out to hang with the fans (Mostly Freshmen Chicks).

After they finished up Bumblebee pulled up and they started to move everybody back. They were starting to set up for a stunt where Bumblee crashes into one of the green light posts out side the Castle. They put us way to far back to see anything good so I left to come post the story.

A few side notes: I herd that the college is going to be Princeton University and Not U-Penn in the movie. BOO that sucks if true, Philly Rules! Take it as Rumor until confirmed.

No Megan Fox! - That makes me sad in so many ways that she did not show up.

They also filmed at the Ben Franklin Bridge - No Pics of that.

I guess thats it enjoy the pics.

Sweet! humm why would BB crash into a light post?

sweetness

Frat party...oh dear. I hope that scene is nice and short.

And turning Penn campus into Princeton U.? Thought they were going to take scenes from both schools, unless I am mistaken.

Cool to hear Shia being nice to the local fanbase (wishes I could be there...maybe over the weekend, perhaps?)

BB on scene...would love to see that, as well.

See guys this is what its all about. The kids.

Thanks for the report, Destro. Everyday I hope there's a lot of new TF2 info, and you started my day pretty good. Maybe BB crashes into the light pole, after some sort of chase scene or something, where BB gets pushed aside by some Decepticon, and crashes? Or he's just drunk on Energon after the frat party

running over to sign that bb is just one more reason that kid is quickly becoming my favorite actor

Is that girl in the green dress Isabel Lucas? She looks vaugley like Rachael Taylor, whom Lucas resembles.

I'm sure these are some of the ladies I saw at the casting call at the Spectrum. I should have went with you Destro to check this out.

That quote really made me smile. the guys working on this film are such cool people.


I've got a hypothosis: What if BB gets his vehicle mode mods, has the covers on but then can't see and crashes into a lamp post.
