According to L.A. Times, the filming for Transformers 3 has been started at the south of Santa Monica.
Bryce said the science-fiction action movie starring Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Patrick Dempsey required more diverse locations than L.A. could offer, and also cited the advantages of “very attractive rebates” offered in Michigan and Illinois, which will also host the production for six weeks.
The picture, with an estimated production budget of at least $200 million and a local crew of nearly 500, would not qualify for California’s new film incentive program, which is limited to movies with budgets of up to $75 million.
