According to new reports, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been shooting in Egypt.

Sources say:

"[The Transformers sequel] turned its cameras at the Pyramids in Egypt, and again in the upper Egyptian town of Luxor, near the famed Valley of the Kings.

This is significant for many reasons but mainly because it represents a rare move by two Hollywood studios, Paramount and DreamWorks, to connect to a country and culture that is perceived to be hostile the United States."

Look for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen in theaters on June 26.
