As previously reported, Transformers the Movie part 2 will be filming in Philadelphia, PA for the better part of June. Bethlehem, PA. has also been added to the list of filming locations. This excerpt was taken from Philly.com:

Philly film projects

Neat twist surrounding the action movie Transformers 2, whose
production will be based in Philly for the better part of June. I hear that director Michael Bay and crew also will shoot in Bethlehem, Pa., which will double as a city in the Far East. (A twist in the notion of sending American jobs overseas.)

Double post. Doh!

[ShGarland_1383]

I kinda wish they'd just start filming already. Sure I want them to take the time to get it right, I'm just getting antsy to have something new to watch. (Animated doesn't count, since they're airing it in the morning.)

if i cant find a job over the summer im totally there

[NuclearConvoy]

How many places is TF2 supposedly filming in now?

[Highbeam]

If this is true...I sense a roadtrip

[Liege Evilmus]

I would never move to that town.

Middle East? Perhaps we'll see the return of Scorponok?

Other than being critically wounded and losing his tail...it was never confirmed that he actually died. As we've seen, Barricade is returning, Starscream escaped during the credits of the first one, so...yeah...I'd say there's a chance that Scorp could come back.

Oh and one more thing...we've seen all of the vehicles from the first movie so far (except Bumblebee, but he's a given. He's the star.) and no Jazz. I think that should put the question of whether he's returning or not...to rest.

Uh, it's a Christmas town in PA thats so dam strict that you have to paint your house within a certain color code. It has lille to realy nothing to do with the Middle East, outside of it's strict "everything should be this way" attitude.

Then again, maybe Ol' Skorpy tunneled under the Atlantic to get there

Considering how they say, while examining Scorpy's tail, that his armour is "regenerative" I'd say that he could, easily, since his spark wasn't destroyed, return in full health.

Actually, I misread that original post and was incorrect. It's far east, not middle east. So there might not be a return for Scorponok any way.

Still, even with all of that...what the heck are you going on about? Seriously. If you don't like the town, fine, but your post made absolutely no sense.

It's one thing to dog it out, but at least make it understandable.

You sure it's that one?

There are 2 Bethlehems in PA,
1 in North Hampton County out by Philly
and 1 in Clearfield County out here by Pittsburgh

You pose an excellent question, but I'd venture a guess that it will be the Bethlehem in the Philly region. Considering they'll be filming for most of June in Philly and Bethlehem isn't that far of a drive, I just can't see them filming in the Pittsburgh region when both towns are within their reach.

Unless they stop in the Pittsburgh area on their way to Detroit?

I doubt it. As much as I'd love for them to film in the Pittsburgh region (which would prompt a road trip, at least one I could afford) I doubt they'll be filming there.

[Bun-Bun]

Yeah, I figured it's going to be the one out by Philly but like you said it wasn't completly inconcevable that they'd stop out near here (Pittsburgh) on their way to Detroit.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.

My Bethlehem, PA is in Lehigh County, outside of Allentown. I've never heard of another. No far eastern architecture here, just small-town American. This is the Bethlehem of Bethlehem Steel. Ironically, they can't find enough steel to build the casino that they have planned...

Well there's a New Bethlehem that's rural, here on the western side.

And the part about the steel shortage...I don't know whether to laugh or cry. =\

Been a while since I posted here, but I figured I'd break my silence. My brother just told me about this yesterday, so I'd figure I'd come on here to verify this rumor. We live in Whitehall, my house is about 15 minutes away from Bethlehem. My bro is an aspiring actor, so he has his ear to the ground as far as that kind of thing goes (ie casting of extras). While I'm in the National Guard and will be going on my annual training around the time shooting starts I'll try and keep you guys abreast of anything I see or hear about around here.
