Here are some production updates for a couple of anticipated 2014 blockbusters. First up, according to Canada.com, Legendary Pictures' Godzilla reboot is now being filmed in Nanaimo, British Columbia. Plus, the working title for the Gareth Edwards-directed movie (which stars Aaron Johnson, Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen, Juliette Binoche and David Strathairn) is Nautilus. For more details on production in the city, click the link back to Chicago.com.

Meanwhile, Reel Chicago confirms that director Michael Bay's fourth Transformers movie (which stars Mark Wahlberg and Jack Reynor) will shoot in the city from July to October, with production staff expected to land in June. The last installment in the series, 2011's Dark Of The Moon, was filmed in Chicago. It was previously reported that the fourquel will be shot/set in China, but that may have changed. Additionally, The Wachowkis' sci-fi film Jupiter Ascending (which has a recently announced release date of July 25th, 2014) will film in Chicago for 4-5 weeks, beginning June 24th.

Godzilla opens in theaters May 16th, 2014, while Transformers 4 arrives June 27th that year.

Less focus on the humans,more focus on big monsters kicking each others asses!

GAH - 3/18/2013, 12:30 PM

That sounds cool! Hope the movie is just called simply GODZILLA.

I'M NOT WATCHING TRANSFORMERS 4

ps. watched the second one the other night.
Not a complete failure. But the robot fights where a mess.
Couldn't see a god damn thing.

Nautilus will not be part of the final title. It's just used yo help supress people figuring out what it really is. The Dark Knight was given the cover-up title of Rory's First Kiss.

But maybe Godzilla will fight a giant nautilus at some point? ; ]

Ket Watanabe is Japanese. : ]
