Update: Washington DC locations?

[digifruitella]

Anybody know when and where they'll be shooing in DC? I know there's not much info out there about locations, but I was hoping maybe someone on the crew lurks the forums here and can reveal some info. Would love to take a look at the filming process

I have no idia where they are shooting now, there are 3 vids on Youtube you can still watch, hopefully they will be deleted soon. They could be still filming in CA. i think they would go to W-DC then Chicago then Florida and from florida they would go to Moscow and then Africa i think and back.

Though a lot is at stake with a blockbuster like "Transformers 3," the tension isn't new. Carol Flaisher, a longtime location manager in D.C., said producers and the Park Service were natural antagonists, with the movie crews demanding to do whatever they please and the Park Service wagging its finger. "We want to make the best movie we can make and that may mean pushing the envelope, and the Park Service is in the position of pushing back," she said.

"It's not 'Transformers 3,' " she said. "It's every single movie production that comes to town."

What dumb people they have there in Washington lol, why not let them film there, just let them do their work and dont stand in the way i just dont get it... W-DC gets money because of TF3 and they apperently dont want TF3's stinking money... dumb di, dumb, di dumb di dumb.

I dont know the exact location, but there is news that they are trying to shoot at a National Mall in D.C. but that is causing them problems

[Flyingheart]

Yeah... they are planning to film most of the Mall scenes in Hollywood studios so...

And MTV is here to help with "a few alternate locations" - http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2010/06/09...ate-locations/

[Flyingheart]

Nice share

[IHeartBayhem]

DC causing them problems? Lame. I was hoping for a scene where Megatron throws Optimus into the White House, scaring the crap out of Obama.

[Bayhem]

...scaring the crap out of Obama.

Michael will never do that. After all, Obama is a fan too - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/n...my-movies.html

[IHeartBayhem]

Wow. I never knew that.

That's awesome.

Well, it turns out that article is BS or misleading at best. I spoke to Mike yesterday and he's gotten authorization to shoot on the National Mall.

Oh HELL YEAH. This also betters the odds of me gettin that PA job in september (DC Film office asked for my address, fingers crossed though)

[Flyingheart]

A big THANK YOU to you Nelson! http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-...ton-dc-169962/

To digifruitella and Flyingheart : You are welcome, guys

[digifruitella]

Contacted the actual DW Studios today, what I believe to be a relatively young guy answered the phone and I told him I'd like to be a PA in DC for this, he asked me to send my resume to his email. I told him I have no experience he said it's ok. So I sent it in. We'll see how it goes. I'll keep you guys updated. I hope I land the gig, it'll be so awesome if that happens.
