Bumblebee and Friends at City Hall

Mia has provided the below pictures and video from Philadelphia City Hall set in its role as Ecole Militarie in Paris, France. Kevin Dunn and Julie White were spotted on site as they filmed a scene as Sam's parents on vacation there. As the video shows, at some point some TF related chaos ensues.

The below pictures are various shots of Bumblebee, a green Chevy Beat and an orange Chevy Trax. The cars were spotted yesterday driving down Front Street suggesting the two concept cars are Transformer alt modes. The remaining pictures show extras getting instruction from Bay and just the general look of the scene. Last is a video that shows set planned explosion going off as the extras act scared and scatter.

A final note, Mia found out that Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox are expected to participate in the filming at Eastern State Penitentiary this Friday and Saturday. Sunday is a day of rest as production moves to Princeton, NJ to film something, somewhere at sometime in that area.



Thanks to Mia for the great pictures and video.

So any guesses how these land based transformers get from the US to paris in the storyline?

Judging from the design trimmings on the green car .. I'd make a wild guess that one of Sam's roommates is into street racing, and he goes to Paris for a race or something, and one of the TF scans his vehicle mode.

And perhaps Sam's parents happen to run into them while on vacation. Just my guess though.

Presumably, the cars are still in a U.S.-based chase scene despite the fact it was filmed near the Paris-themed site...

There has still been no confirmation of barricade. From all the set pics he hasnt been spotted

barricade's been seen on a trailer being followed by another trailer hauling optimus. Photos were seen back in early may....

and autobot Jazz?

Richard said...

There were reports that Darius McCrary, who did the voice of Jazz in TF1, was in Philly at the start of the shoot. Don't know if that's true
