    Still possible. Hard to say what Bay would be using Chicago Studio City for. They have indoor studios as well as rentable office space.

    And even if the majority of the movie does get filmed in Chicago, there can still be on-location shots in DC like Bay did in Jordan and Egypt.

    Given that the first two films used studios in and around LA, he's actually going smaller. :p

    Sweet, a lot of the Dark Knight was filmed there. Looks like a great city, I'd like to visit there one day.

    Wow, this is exciting - Bay's already got a script and is about to film in May? Seems so fast, but it took this long for ROTF.

    Cool. However I still think they should wait an extra year for this flick. What happened to Bad Boys 3? I'd rather see that then TF3 to be honest. Haha.

    I hope Bay will film in New Mexico again when he does shoot the film. But I hope he films in the city and not on a Military base!

    Nice. Hopefully it's not all inside filming. It'd be sweet to plan a drive over, spend the weekend and maybe peep some movie being made.
    Plus I love Chicago and their pizza is maybe the best thing I've ever eaten.

    Tidalwave should blow up the Taste of Chicago. Opening scene. If you see this Mr. Bay, and like it, send me a PM.

    DC would be cool. Decepticons could destroy the monuments. Megatron could sit in Lincoln's chair. :)
