Moscow and Chicago? It's Red Heat all over again.

Good luck filming in those locations. The weather will be a pretty big obstacle. Would be cool to see a battle on Navy Pier or even on the Sears Tower....yeah it's still called the Sears Tower in Chicago.

Are you still bitter over the renaming of the Sears Tower?

I'd love to see a battle either on Navy Pier, or one that maybe battles inside of Soldier Field.

Are you still bitter over the renaming of the Sears Tower?

 

Bitter? Nah...it's just always going to be called the Sears Tower to the people in Chicago. It's an icon. It would be like renaming the Empire State Building the Willis Building or the Rockefeller Center....Smith Center.

 

A battle on Soldier Field would be epic. I picture the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel coming off and being used in the final battle scene....

I wonder how much money this will bring to Chicago? I would think that with that location, keeping stuff under wraps will be near impossible to keep from leaking....

Chicago is already run by Decepticons, so it fits.

I hear ya. we still go to The Brendan Burn Arena in NJ. Still can't figure out why they wrot IZOD on it :P

for rotf they filmed in philly, which is where i live, and i got to be an extra, now they're filming in chicago, which is where i'm moving. that's exciting.

 

i highly doubt weather is going to be an obstacle in chicago. especially in the late spring, summer, and early fall, which is probably when they'll be shooting. chicago is beautiful those times of year. i walked around 11 miles one day there once cause it was so nice out. chicago is a really kick ass city and a nice choice. hell, the dark knight turned out great.

I'm always glad to hear the sweet home Chicago fraternity of film workers is gonna get some work.
