    Maybe they're not in TF3?

    I don't remember hearing anything about the big ending scene being in Detroit. Plus, considering the large amount of props that they brought into Chicago, which is on par if not greater than the wreckage props used in TF1, I'd be amazed if Chicago really wasn't the end.

    Also, simply because they haven't filmed in Detroit yet doesn't mean that it HAS to be the final scenes. By that logic, the final scene could also take place in the National Mall in D.C. because filming is set to be there but hasn't taken place yet. Thanks to being able to edit the film, the final filming that happens could be the opening shots for all we know right now. It's not like a typical camcorder where EVERYTHING must be shot in order.

    I'm guessing it's because Chicago makes a great generic city? Although to be honest, a high-speed chase through the middle of Atlanta, Georgia would be freaking AWESOME.

    "But you know, we're bringing some energy to the city" Sorry Tyrese, the Blackhawks brought that energy to the city about two months ago

    The filming pumped in an estimated 20 million dollars into the economy of chicago, so those corporate yuppies should shut up and find a detour to starbucks. I'm from chicago too

    Well if you didn't know Screen Gems is moving here to the ATL. so maybe we will see more big budget films being shot here. I have seen several movies being shot in town while i was in school at GSU (The Fighting Temptations, CNN stuff) but nothing i was ever too interested in.

    One thing that i always remember that i thought was weird. the Dukes of Hazzard flick. It was supposed to take place in Atlanta but there are numerous shots in the movie with street car tracks embedded in the roadway. there are no street cars in Atlanta! i never understood why they didn't actually film it here, just some establishing shots of the skyline and 75/85 traffic.

    anyways, its good that the Chicago shoot went well. I'm ready for TF3 to rock!

    Autobot Burnout now that would be cool to see a TF street race in Atl,Ga. I am only about 5hrs from Atl, Ga. Then it would be cool if they came over here where I live in NW Ala to film as well.
