Transformers 3 Production Start Date, Casting Calls

New casting calls for Transformers 3 have provided the start date for production and small details about the movie. Principle photography for Transformers 3 is scheduled to run from May 1st (or 17th), 2010 to July 1st, 2010. So far seen both numbers for start date but same end date. The shooting locations are now listed as Chicago, Detroit, Washington DC, Florida, Texas, Africa, Moscow and China. The casting calls found on Chicago Craigslist (thanks to Tyler for link) and Acting Auditions are showing a search for extras and principle actors (speaking lines).

For Chicago, "Joan Philo Casting (A Nightmare on Elm St., The Dark Knight) is searching for Ukrainian/Eastern European (looking) men (20 to 60 years of age) to work as paid extras on a feature film in April. This will be a one-day shoot. ...Especially looking for Ukrainian (Or Ukrainian looking types) men 6' to 6'3", clothing size 42 regular to 50 regular who know how to handle a gun. If you have a bigger build and are of a larger size – we love this!" Maybe something involving soldiers is going to occur in a Ukraine town.

The extras call in Los Angeles is seeking "Men, 66+, ethnically ambiguous, weathered, tattered, frail, featured roles." This sounds like a polite description of a bum. As for the principle actors, no specifics on what they are looking for is provided, just an address to send photo and resume to DW Studio Productions, LLC.

To summarize, casting for Transformers 3 is in full swing. Pre-shoots start next week or so in Chicago and Gary, Indiana. Principle photography starts in May. Some scenes possibly involve Ukrainian soldiers, Ukrainian townspeople, and maybe bums.

  2. "Principle photography for Transformers 3 is scheduled to run from May 1st, 2010 to July 1st, 2010"

    60 days is a very short shooting schedule; I believe the first film shot for 83 days. Methinks this means the film will have significantly more CG-only environments.

  4. Hey, I would be perfect to play a bum! ;D Shame I live in Zambia (Southern Africa, nowehere NEAR where shooting is to be set) =(

    Since M.Bay likes to shoot on location, there were only a few CGI-environments in the films (space, ocean, starship). I think he'll still keep the film on Earth locations majorly...

    Hmmm, 83 days... IMDb says THE GODFATHER was filmed in around 70-80 days. But this is not THE GODFATHER. This is the last decisive stand between the TransFormers. And I can't wait to see what happens.

    If they include day AND night scenes, round-the-clock work, I might be a little more confident that the film will be done well.

    They need to replace Ms. Megan Fox.
    Michael Bay dose not need the headaches of a self-made prima-donna on the set that causes headaches for people in ten different countries.
    I would love to see some one who has been working hard and enjoys their profession.
    I have a suggestion for Mr. Bay, look at the up and coming star from Miami, Florida, she is Melanie Tillbrook a Pacific Islander.
    She would love to fill the shoes of Ms. Fox and work with the producer and film crew, and not be a hindrance.
