Michael Bay Wants to Bring TRANSFORMERS 4 to the Streets of Hong Kong
Michael Bay is planning to shoot parts of the latest installment in the Transformers franchise in Hong Kong. Reportedly, after looking at photographs of different parts of the city, he is most interested in Sham Shui Po because of its unique aesthetic. The district, situated in North West Kowloon, is one of the oldest and most densely populated areas of Hong Kong. The producers have already approached local government officials and businesses to propose the closure of sections of roads for filming.
Transformers 4 will start shooting in the US in June. The plan is for filming to continue in Hong Kong in September and then China from October. Being a Chinese co-production, the cast will include a required number of Chinese actors. As ScreenAnarchy reported previously, the producers will be launching a reality TV audition show to cast four Chinese wannabes in the film. They have also auditioned a number of Chinese actors, reportedly with Huang Xiao Ming (The Message, Ip Man 2, The Guillotines) being the front-runner to get a role in the film.
