It seems that Transformers 3 production could start resuming any day now in Detroit. Yesterday the Twins where spotted en route to the Detroit’s Packard Plant and now Optimus Prime’s trailer is there too. Thanks to J1000, below are a few pics from the location which has started to be dressed for filming with a train spotted in the plant and smashed cars with rubble.
After Detroit, it is assumed that Florida is the next stop and Collect Space found a few articles that indicated possible locations for the shoot and confirmed that the shuttle launch of the Discovery on September 16th is part of the shoot.
From Central Florida News 13 (link now dead):
[Space Coast Film Commissioner Bonnie King] said location scouts have visited the area for two to three days at a time, looking at other areas to shoot. Those included Patrick Air Force Base; Space Coast Regional Airport, in Titusville; Merritt Island Airport; Lone Cabbage Fish Camp, in Cocoa; and a Cocoa Beach house. Scouts also checked out some swamps and went into the woods.
WESH Orlando also provided a few specifics:
A shuttle launch pad, one of the crawler vehicles that move the space shuttle and the KSC Vehicle Assembly Building are expected to be depicted in the film, King said in a news release. [King] said the film crew will be working around the scheduled launch of space shuttle Discovery on Sept. 16.Bay is looking for an airport with a big hangar for the movie, which could bring him and the film’s crew and stars to Patrick Air Force Base, Space Coast Regional Airport or Merritt Island Airport.
The location scouts also looked at scenes of local airboat rides, swamps and woods while they were in Brevard. Whether those scenes will be used depends on the developing plot twists for the film, King said in a news release.

Transformers 3 Producer Don Murphy over at his Message Boards stated that Transformers 3 filming is scheduled to end in 6 weeks time.
According to News 13…
“Production crews and film stars will soon transform Brevard County and the Kennedy Space Center into a Hollywood Studio. Director Michael Bay will begin shooting portions of “Transformers 3″ on the Space Coast in mid-to-late September. The Space Coast Film Commission told News 13 production specialists may begin arriving as early as next week to begin preparations.”
As for the Washington D.C Filming…
“Kathy Hollinger, director of the D.C. Office of Motion Picture and Television Development, told POLITICO Thursday that the film is now set to begin shooting in town October 4th. The dates could change again, of course. But the crew has at least managed to nail down some filming locations, including the National Mall, near the monuments, outside the American Red Cross National Headquarters and outside DAR Constitution Hall, located just across from the Ellipse.
The National Park Service has made it difficult for Paramount Pictures to secure permission to film some scenes, including a race around the Mall. Hollinger said, however, that the studio is “still talking to the National Park Service to refine the requests to possibly get more flexibility.””
Very early reports stated that, Transformers 3 filming might end on 1st of July, 2010.
