They're done in the Middle-East and the crew was spotted in Paris France filming that famous landmark that looks like a giant arch in the middle of the city. It was not anything action related, just them filming a news reporter doing some reporting on location.

Hopefully something blows up.

 

That would be L'Arc de Triomphe.

 

I'd love to the the L'arc blow up.

 

i hope its a scene with people running and screaming because they see some window washer poles with neon green tennis balls at the top and Michael Bay says RUN RUN RUN there's an Evil Robot!!

 

Ya..it speaks to itshelf.

 

But i thought Rattrap was in the hunters?

 

I thought Orci said they weren't filming in Paris.....

 

It looks like it was a lie.

 

But Bob said he would never lie to us....... 

 

 

If Orci didn't know, it's probably second unit.

 

none of the main actors were on set but Michael Bay was there

with regards to Orci, he hasn't exactly been straight up with us. Only been saying things like "I think so, its possible, maybe, we'll see, I'll get back to you" Haha

 

Sigh..

It's probably second unit filming landmarks and less-important scenes. You can't have a scene in Paris without seeing the Eiffel tower or the Arc de Triomphe. Doesn't mean the actors have to go all the way to Paris to shoot action scenes.

Wish some of you would use some common sense before jumping to the conclusion of people being liars.

 

it'd be neat to see a bot climbing the eiffel tower, but i doubt that'll happen.

 

Seconded that. Except for a few questions about the first movie which he answered to some extent, the "ask bob" thread is 99% made of useless single-short-sentence answers with no real information.

 

so they're officially done principal photography? And just doing 2nd unit and pick-up shots now?

 

I have a feeling that this movie is going to be absolutely huge. Anybody know what the budget is? The locations alone should be a big clue.

I hope this makes enough money to have space battles and battles on Cybertron in TF3. That would be badass!

 

Its almost november and Shooting is not over yet.   (Awesome) No teaser trailer until very very late of November.

 

$300m, approx. double the first movie.

 

Doubt it. I'd say it's closer to 200-220million max. Bay was boggled by the budgets of Spidey 3 and POTC 3, wondering how you even spend all that money.
