Fox 10 Phoenix is reporting that a fourteen mile stretch of the 303 Freeway in Arizona east of Phoenix will be closed in the upcoming days for filming of Transformers: The Last Knight, which is the fifth installment of the live action Transformers films directed by explosion entrepeneur Michael Bay. The freeway will be closed from 2 AM Friday to 11:30 PM Wednesday, which means that there will be five days of filming along this one stretch of road. What exactly will be filmed is unknown, but to shut down a freeway for five days suggests that there will be some extensive scene or scenes in the Arizona desert.
The video accompanying the article mentions Bumblebee as a Transformer that was spotted during recent filming in Arizona. It also mentions a possible returning character who has been strongly hinted at but not officially confirmed, so the following may be considered spoilers. The video shows footage of the Decepticon motorcycle and Decepticon Volkswagen and Decepticon police car, and it refers to the police car as Barricade. That very well may be speculation, but given that they interviewed someone who had been on set the evidence that the Decepticon police car will return is building.
Hopefully we will get some further information about this filming in Arizona, so keep checking TFW2005 for all of the latest Transformers 5 news!
