//:: Transformers 3 - Filming
The streets of Chicago turned into a war zone "well at least .... or almost real" as the filming of the movie Tranformers 3 got underway ...
... In July, filming numerous scenes for the Tranformers 3 movie, which is due for release in summer of 2011. With all the commotion from the shooting, it was inevitable that hundreds of people would gather around and capture a bunch of videos from the set.
Some of the Transformer cars that were snagged on film in Chicago includes the Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee "Good but not enough to impress the Europeans", Mercedez-Benz E-Class (most likely the E63 AMG!!!!)"German's throw back of a Muscle Car - which is more than double the amount of the Camaro but then it's also double the car" Ferrari 458 Italia "Undoubtedly the best!" and several NASCAR racers and the topless version of the Corvette Stingray Concept.
