In an interview with the "Preston and Steve" morning show on Philadelphia's 93.3 WMMR, Megan Fox's ex-fiancee Brian Austin Green says that, "they're (the cast and crew) all over the place." He adds that the principal photography will go over to Egypt soon.

Mr. Green was promoting the television show "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," in which he plays Derek Reese.

Tyrese Gibson (Sergeant Epps) has also recently confirmed that the crew will go overseas to Jordan and, "a few other locations."

This overseas work may be pieced together with certain scenes that were filmed sometime in July in the Los Angeles, CA area. A casting call had popped up early July looking for background males to play "Egyptian/Jordanian soldiers."

"Nelson" has said previously said that Director Michael Bay was scouting Egypt as a possible location for the film.

Good for TF2:ROTF. It looks like it will be a lot more global in scale. Movie is gonna be sick.

Hmm... remember that rejected outline from last year (that turned out to be right about Sam going to an East Coast college while Mikaela stayed out west)...?

The climax there was set in the Egyptian-themed Luxor casino in Vegas, where the big pyramid was hiding a vast store of Allspark energy.....

Did they decide to move out of Nevada, and go for the real Egypt?

(highlight-to-read for possible spoilers....)

correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a recent pic of a humongous pyramid in filming with a flim-crew on it....?

That's the LA-based scene the article above was talking about, I believe. Pyrimids collapsing.

Yeah, I still think that outline will be used to some extent.

So, now we have a solid connection between the TFs and the egypt pyramids, we jut have to learn what purpose they served.

Isn't this slightly similar to the plot of the energon series with the mini cons helping out ancient civilizations?

I really really really hope this movie doesn't have a the-pyramids-were-built-by-an-alien-life-form type theme. That would be mega-lame.

Not so lame if they show a sequence from the past where the Autobots were the ones putting pyramid stones in place, since it's always being speculated how humans moved such large pieces.
