The details of where the shoots will take place and what stars are featured are being kept under wraps.

“We can only imagine what the filmmakers have in store,” said Cynthia Lopez, commissioner of the mayor’s office of media and entertainment.

Dave Green (Earth to Echo) will take over as director with screenwriters Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec are back for the new film. Megan Fox will again headline the cast with Will Arnett, William Fichtner, Alan Ritchson, Noel Fisher, Pete Ploszek, Danny Woodburn and Jeremy Howard all set to return.
