As the highly anticipated filming of “Transformers 3” approaches, we’re hearing more about where the action will be.
The Walter E. Washington Convention Center will be used for some of the filming, a source tell us, and a number of scenes will be filmed around the National Mall and monument areas. DAR Constitution Hall and the Red Cross building also will have cameos.
“Both of those locations are used to double as the White House,” explained Josh Friedman, communications director of D.C.’s Office of Motion Picture and Television Development. The Red Cross building generally is used for exterior “White House” shots, while DAR Constitution Hall is used for its interior.
Filming will begin the first or second week of October. A convention center spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
