DETROIT -- This spring in Detroit you can expect to see explosions and people running, all because filming of the fourth Transformers movie, as yet unnamed, is set to film in the city.

The Michigan Film Office has said that the movie had been approved for $20 million in incentives.

It is expected that the makers of the movie will spend close to $90 million in the Detroit area.

The first and third Transformers movies also had scenes filmed in Michigan.

According to the state film office, the new movie will begin right after the end of "Transformers: Dark of the Moon", which featured a war between the Autobots and the Decepticons that left a city in ruins.
