If you like helicopters, skydiving and parachuting stuntmen, the area north of Grant and Millennium parks is the place to be one morning this weekend.

On the morning of either Saturday, July 10, or Sunday, July 11, the production team of Transformers 3 will arrive to shoot several holy-crap-flying-through-the-air scenes.

“DW Studios Productions LLC is proposing to film scenes in your neighborhood for the upcoming motion picture Transformers 3,” reads a message from the filmmakers posted on the Web site of the New East Side community organization. “One of the scenes will involve stuntmen skydiving from helicopters and deploying parachutes at low altitude while being filmed from a second helicopter with a camera.”

A map included on the New East Side site shows three flight paths for the stunts. In two of them, stuntmen will deploy from helicopters above the Pritzker Pavilion and fly through the gap between the Aon and Blue Cross-Blue Shield buildings to land in Lakeshore East Park.

In a third, a stuntman will jump from a helicopter hovering above Daley Bicentennial Plaza and fly into the Lakeshore East park between the Blue Cross-Blue Shield building and 340 On The Park, a residential tower.

Richard Ward, president of the New Eastside organization, said the Transformers 3 filming won’t be the first time a Hollywood release has arrived in the neighborhood – The Dark Knight used car chase scenes from Lower Wacker Drive.

But the feel of the Transformers 3 shots will be different.

“This will be in broad daylight,” he said. “It will be fun for the neighborhood to follow this” — and later see the results on the big screen.

Roads are expected to be closed for a maximum of 15 minutes. (See details.) Additionally, sidewalks and Lakeshore East Park will close during the jumps.

“We’re very excited to have it in our neighborhood,” Ward said.

In June, the city announced that the movie’s shooting in Chicago would last from June 10 to Aug. 19, and create more than 200 jobs and generate some $20 million in local economic activity.

The director, Ron Howard, is also shooting a feature film this summer in Chicago, an unnamed movie whose cast includes Vince Vaughn, himself a Chicagoan.
