The film introduces many more robots and the scope has been expanded to numerous countries, the most important of which is Egypt.

Bay met his shooting date with the help of previsualization and a scriptment by his writers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and series newcomer Ehren Kruger. Shooting from May to November 2008 predominantly took place in the United States, including the majority of scenes set in outside countries, a minimum of which was conducted in those actual nations.

Charlie Chaplin stars in this 1915 silent which he wrote and directed for the Essanay Film Mfg. Co. (S&A). S&A Studio was founded by GK Spoor and GM “Bronco Billy” Anderson in Chicago in 1907. Anderson starred in 376 Bronco Billy westerns made by S & A and in all, 450 films were made between 1907 and 1914 in Chicago when 4 of 5 silent films were made there. S & A opened its’ “west” studios to take advantage of the more dependable outdoor weather for the Bronco Billy westerns. It was at this point, in 1915, that Chaplin was hired away from Mack Sennett’s Keystone Studios. Chaplin made 14 comedies for Essanay, the most famous being “The Tramp” in 1915. Appearing at 5:50 6:36 and 7:01 in this film as “Lady in the audience with beads” is San Francisco ingenue Edna Purviance who Chaplin had discovered working in the bay area as a stenographer. Edna became Chaplin’s off- screen sweetheart as well as the object of his affections in several silents.
