Another shooting location beyond Chicago has been confirmed. Transformers 3 will be shooting in early September at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. According to Bonnie King, Space Coast Film Commissioner, the shoot will last about eight days.
She went on to say that location scouts have visited the area for two to three days at a time, looking at other areas to shoot. These 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. In addition to this, scouts have also checked out some swamps and the nearby woods.
This will not be the first time filming at Kennedy Space Center for Michael Bay. He last filmed there in 1998 for the blockbuster
Armageddon. King said Bay is familiar with the area, which is why he chose it again.
