Thanks to 2005 Boards member TunaKaan for pointing out that Transformers 4 filming is set to return to Chicago, at McCormick Place. It doesn’t look like they will be revisiting the Chicago theme from Transformers 3, instead to double for their Chinese location in the movie.
[INDENT]Transformers 4 starring Mark Wahlberg is filming in Chicago this summer, and McCormick Place Square is going to be a part of the action!
On Friday, August 23rd, McCormick Place Square and parts of S. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. near the hotel will be shut down for filming.
The hotel will remain open and fully functional during this time, and guests will have full access to the front drive for parking and drop off.
McCormick Place Square and parts of King Dr will be part of an action sequence set to take place in China for the movie.
The grassy area above will be set with controlled explosions, car flips, eruptions, and other pyrotechnics! [/INDENT]

I don't think it is necessary to make another thread about for this, so I'll just put it here. According to https://twitter.com/filming_chicago we a few more details about it.

OH AWESOME! I can't wait to see what other locations are on deck, I bet Lasalle Street is going to be dressed for some Chinese action

Being a Chicago resident, I was kinda hoping to have my hometown featured again in TF4 as Chicago, but oh well.
At least I'll get to enjoy that nice "Remember Chicago" billboard

I bet this is supposed to be in place of that hotel in China they are supposed to film near.

I'm glad they will use the place as China, Chicago is probably tired of alien attacks by now, Lol.
