Transformers 3 has made Chicago an awesomely expensive playground (40 Photos)

If you're working on East Wacker like our friends at Golin Harris, the view out your window has gotten very interesting recently. Chicago is the new backdrop for Transformers 3 and film crews have been blocking off streets across the city, hauling in debris, and simulating explosions. Chicagoans are getting in on the fun both as extras and photographers. Here are some revealing shots from the upcoming film...

  2. sim says:

  3. money money says:

    what's the budget on this one! damn.

    • Tim says:

      I actually heard the budget was less than the 2nd one. I guess rubble and Shia LaBeouf go for cheap nowadays.

  4. Jaf says:

    I hope those three cars in #17 can combine into something badass

  5. Bryn says:

    Uh, I'm pretty sure that was actually Toronto a few weeks ago …

  6. Bear6 says:

    thats the first time i have seen behind the scene at a movie set. cool shit

  7. MacheteJack says:

    Looks like Ol' Slow-mo Boobies Kaboom is up to his old tricks again.

    (Slo-Mo Boobies Kaboom is my pet name for Michael Bay. Because it's all he really does, not that I'm complaining.)

  8. Sam says:

    Second one was a mess , yet now there's … 3 !

  9. stafferty says:

    People in Chicago now have another more reason to hate Michal Bay apart from the actual movie. Just think about how much of a bitch it has to be if you are trying to get home from work with this shit going on. At least when Christopher Nolan did it we got The Dark Knight

  11. sha shizza says:

  12. Jen says:

  13. Jonny Redneck says:

    That "Gunfire and Explosions Ahead – Do Not Be Alarmed" sign is pretty commonplace on the South Side already.

  14. Gutterville says:

    LOL just stop watching transformers 2 just right now

  15. Tim says:

    I thought they said they were filming in Chicago, not Detroit.

  16. Son of Dad says:

    #5 and #17 = gun-gasm!

  17. mopery says:

    This totally blocks my path to the beach. Fuck Transformers.

  18. ... says:

    30 and 31 dark knight scene? to soon to repeat in another block buster

  19. Cheez-Stick says:

    That is sweet! I hope Bay still has more movies like the first one in him!

  20. Dom says:

    My buddy and I rode our bikes to Chicago on Saturday and forgot they were filming it. I was wondering why a thousand people were at our otherwise low key smoke spot.

  21. MiPo_TheGoaT says:

  22. Beau says:

  23. Not again says:
