Well, the cars were, at least.

Some scenes from the upcoming Transformers film have been shot in Newcastle city centre over the last few days, drawing massive crowds. Part of the city was closed off while a number of rather expensive cars drove through the streets.

A number of military vehicles were spotted too, including armoured cars and helicopters.

A video even surfaced of some simulated destruction, as rubble was dropped into the street while cars raced past.

A London bus was spotted too, which more than likely means Newcastle is being used as a stand-in for London. The UK seems to be a hive for film at the moment. Game of Thrones is filming in Northern Ireland and some areas of the Lake District, the Justice League is being filmed in London currently, and now this.

Except, y’know, they’re actually worth watching.
