Most of you know that the apocalyptic Michigan Central Station in Detroit was used as a setting in the first Transformers movie way back in 2006..  Well let the rumors be true, Transformers 3 will be shooting for several weeks in Detroit, Michigan again this summer

In all, six weeks of the 4 1/2 months of shooting will occur in the L.A. area, with the rest of the filming spread across Chicago, Detroit, Washington and Cape Canaveral, Fla., and a few foreign locales, including Russia and an undisclosed African country, Bryce said.
