The Michigan Film Office announced today that Michael Bay’s Transformers 4 has been approved for a film incentive from the state. The movie is expected to film this spring in metro Detroit.
It speaks volumes about all Michigan has to offer that Transformers is returning once again to our state, said Margaret ORiley, director of the Michigan Film Office. This project will shine another bright spotlight on Michigan and provide tremendous opportunities for our cast, crew and support services.
Transformers 4 was awarded an incentive of $20 million on $81,933,992 of projected in-state expenditures. The project is expected to hire 368 Michigan workers with a full time equivalent of 339 jobs.
Transformers 4 is the third film in the series to use Detroit as a backdrop. The first Transformers, released in 2007, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon, released in 2011, also filmed in metro Detroit.
