The Daily Penn­syl­van­ian reports:

Uni­ver­sity spokes­woman Lori Doyle explained that film­ing would ten­ta­tively begin around June 12 with scenes using the exte­rior of the Quad.

Accord­ing to Doyle, the exten­sive project is expected to involve about 200 peo­ple, 25 tractor-trailer trucks and cranes.

“They have their own land­scap­ing peo­ple, they bring in their own cater­ing, it’s a huge oper­a­tion,” she said.

In addi­tion, scenes will be shot at Psi Upsilon Tau fra­ter­nity house, bet­ter known as “The Cas­tle,” and pos­si­bly on Locust Walk and Spruce Street, Doyle said.

Direc­tor Michael Bay was Under­grad­u­ate Senior Vice-President of Wes­leyan University’s Psi Upsilon chap­ter dur­ing his time in college.

Penn’s Office of Uni­ver­sity Com­mu­ni­ca­tions was unable to divulge spe­cific plot ele­ments as the result of a non-disclosure agree­ment signed with Dream­Works Pictures.
