Transformers Invading Southwest: As reported by the Washington Post in June, part of the latest installment of the Transformers movie series will be filmed on the National Mall. Filming will occur between October 11th and October 15th. The Post has the complete schedule.

These proposed special effects will create noise throughout the night (starting after dark and lasting until early in the overnight/morning hours)."
