TF2 at Eastern State Penitentiary Today

I just received a heads-up from BP that he spotted activity at Eastern State Penitentiary where "branches and trucks [are] moving inside the building." This info has been verified by Philly.com:

Transformers 2 cameras and crew have been all over (Fairmount Park, University of Pennsylvania) and today are due inside Eastern State Penitentiary, while Rittenhouse Square will double as Paris later this week. Saturday is the scheduled Philly wrap; next stop: Princeton.
Based on the info from the other day, that indicates the shoot at Rittenhouse Square will occur on June 19th, this Thursday.

Thanks to BP and Jim for the info.

Update: It appears that the shoot at Eastern State Penitentiary will be on Friday, assuming that is why a location that is normally open "every day, twelve months a year" except holidays is suddenly announcing "Please Note: Eastern State Penitentiary will be closed to the public on Friday, June 20th." Now I don't know if that means shooting will also occur in a more limiting capacity between now and then but considering that apparently TF2 production is shutting down the whole site, which indicates that the location has a larger part in the movie then previously suspected. Thanks to Jim for the heads-up.

  1. It says next stop Princeton I thought they were filming on the Brooklyn Bridge before that?

  2. Well there base right now is philadelphia, they might be shooting some scenes on the brooklyn bridge but probably only for a day. Then they are setting up a new base camp in princeton since there will be a lot of filming in that area

  5. Eastern State Penn is AMAZING! It's massive and I highly recommend anyone visiting Philly to take a tour. I'm also hoping that they have a bunch of shots inside the cells. Oh and it's also haunted. (Sorry if this post is random.)

  6. I'm serious as a heart attack with the following words: I hope they brought an exorcist or medium with them, because from what I've read and researched, they may surely need it at Eastern State Penitentiary.

  14. I work there and Sunday they were breaking down and getting ready to move sites. They were out of there sometime after noon. Shia LaBeouf was still there Sunday and toured the site. He left around the same time the work crew left. They were using Cell Block 7 and it was closed off through Monday evening.
