TRANSFORMERS 3 Chicago Set Photos and Ending

All in a day’s work for Josh Duhamel. MichaelBay.com and AceShowbiz has posted these new set pics from next summer’s TRANSFORMERS 3.

Aceshowbiz.com is also reporting that:

Michael Bay has revealed the final scenes of the third “Transformers” film. Speaking to Chicago Sun-Times, the helmer says they are shooting in Chicago until the end of August and the footage filmed there will be featured as part of the closing sequence.

Swipe to reveal Inviso-text ahead [SPOILER ALERT!] The Chicago footage “is at the very end of the movie and the city is under alien attack, so it’s very critical and important to the film’s climax,” Bay explains. “Something very bad has happened to America – and this is at the very end of the movie.”

They had some additional news on Megan Fox’s replacement, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

She is only said to be new female lead but her specific role was not mentioned. TFW2005 recently visited the Chicago set of the film where the site found out that the character played by Rosie is named Carly. In the animated series, Carly is described as the one who will eventually become Sam Witwicky’s wife. Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura himself has confirmed that “Rosie will definitely be [Shia Labeouf’s] love interest though.”
