Shooting Hiatus Ended

Roberto Orci has verified on the Don Murphy message boards that the shooting hiatus (if there was one) has ended. From his post, "we never stopped -- shooting been going on all week and last week". This has been further verified in an article at Entertainment Weekly where they spoke with Michael Bay who is at a "remote air force base." He is probably at Edwards Air Force Base and since Bay likes secrets and the Armed Services are good at keeping secrets, we don't get to enjoy the same flow of information as we did from the previous month.

In the EW articles, Bay spoke about Transformers while avoiding revealing much of anything. He re-iterated that the sequel will "stand on its own" and is not a set up for a third movie. He also said "There are a lot of rumors out there, but we’ve released a lot of fake stuff. We’ve done a really good job of keeping things secret." Considering the wonderful world of special effects, pretty much anything and everything can be "fake" since it pretty easy to change things out as needed. Bay has a cool TF hat though.

So the main takeaway of all this is filming has been officially verified as resuming, Bay likes secrets and stuff will not be verified until the movie comes out (duh!).
