Fox 7 has posted a filming update for Transformers 4 from Elgin, TX.
It’s is said the shooting will happen at the Elgin Cotton Oil Mill, explaining why casting crews needed Oil Workers not too long ago.
Brian Lundgren (Owner of the Oil Mill) says Michael Bay‘s crew will be shooting scenes inside his building…and that’s pretty much all he can say. Any Transformers 4 plot details are hush hush.“I think it’s pretty cool you know, it’s kind of a different use for these old buildings that have been around forever and it’s pretty neat. It’s gonna get busy. They said they’re gonna have 40 tractor trailer rigs just for equipment when they start shooting next week so it’s gonna kind of take over the town sounds like,” Lundgren said.

Just rumor but from what I hear. The Autobots find and get a Con to come out of hiding there. It was also said that there is a Barn set where a Truck TF is hiding from something and that the FBI and Nest are involved. The old truck could be the truck in hiding and very well could be the rumored Con that is forced out of hiding.

Oil Bath.
Which would lead to LOL

Just had a cool idea, (and really hoping our scout: Cosmic Forge reports something soon).
O. K. so here is my idea – thoughts, really.
Wouldn't it redeem the directorial style of Mr. Bay in a lot of fan's eyes, if the following were incorporated in the story of TF4?
Optimus Prime is headed towards these oil farms, in hopes to talk to the people operating them, if they could use some of it to make energon, and in order to fit in with the environment, and to appeal to the sympathetic side of the locals, he would revert from the fancy, shiny rig, to the beat-up rusty one?
You know, like when a rich person is sensible enough, to not wear something flashy, when going to a poor neighborhood.
your thoughts on this?

I meant something that has to do with oil from Transformers Animated.

Don't recall the TFA oil scene but TFP's oil scene came to my mind since it was somewhat a recent episode.

I don't think there aloud too but if they do they will just be set pieces instead of the actual buildings.

Just make sure you're outside of the blast radius

Ahh thanks for the answer. Just wondering if we will see the new vehicles of Optimus, Bumblebee, and the rest during this filming in Texas. That's the only thing that might get me to go there cause I'd love to get pics of the vehicles.

Thats really neat. Shooting in such a small town, that must be very exciting for'em
I hope that's where some action scenes are gonna be shot. Idk, something about an action/fighting scene in a rural area is really cool to me

I hope they don't destroy any of the old buildings at the oil mill.

Please do

Looking forward to all the news, pics and videos to come.

I live almost on the line between Austin/Manor, which is like 10 mins west of Elgin. I should swing by that oil mill and see what I can see
tonyformer
I'll be sure to be adding to those vids and pics
I live in Michigan so I'll be around all the sets

And that's probably when we'll start getting a ton of video and photos like TF3 in Chicago.
