Sharon Pinkenson, executive director of the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, says that Michael Bay and his posse will be rolling into the “City Of Brotherly Love” to film the sequel to his 2007 live-action robot smack-down, Transformers. Apparently Mr. Bay, as well as many other filmmakers, have been choosing Philadelphia as a filming location due to the tax breaks that came into action last summer.

Bay had reportedly been scouting Philadelphia around March, specifically poking around the campuses of the University of Pennsylvania and Girard College, as well as the Masonic Temple (one of the largest in the country).

Other reported filming locations include Michigan and Egypt.
