If you're staying a Hotel close to the Watertower and you want to go down Michigan Avenue to the Art Institute, forget using Michigan for the next few days. The Michigan Avenue bridge is up and the film crews are working on the latest Transformers movie. The last film did not do so well, which might be why Megan Fox chose to sit this one out. Ms. Fox will be replaced in this version by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. The production in Chicago is said to have brought work for some 200 or more local folks and that is a good thing. The destruction is all FX and done with computer editing, creation, and lots of styrofoam concrete and other tricks.

Shia LaBeouf with the new female co-star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley will be featured in the latest Transformers film shot in the midwest. They had already done some filming in and around Milwaukee and are now here for some work. Mayor Daley who hates guns, loves the filming in Chicago even though there is lots of violence on Michigan Avenue. Mr. Moskal from the Chicago Film Office has reported that Michigan and Wacker is very popular with folks wanting to do films in the city. The film was scheduled to be done at a time when the Taste of Chicago and other events would not have been troubled by the film crews.

The tourists are having a good time and fans are coming from all over to watch the work being done.
