Transformers: Dark of the Moon will hit the theaters on June 29, but instead of watching to see if Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can out-pretty Megan Fox as the lady love interest, our eyes will be scouring the background to see the Chicago hotels making an appearance.

We told you about Hotel 71 being a filming site for the flick, but it looks like the Trump Chicago International Hotel and Tower will also get a role.

According to the New York Times, director Michael Bay got creative with stunts in the flick. In one scene, paratroopers fight the Decepticons and do some BASE jumping from the hotel. Here, that means that three parachutists (and one computer-generated one) leapt from the Trump across the Chicago River. That isn't a small feat, given the stainless steel and iridescent-tinted glass building is 92 stories high.

We smell a possible new "Tranformers" adventure package that the Trump can offer. Maybe a zipline off of the hotel's facade? We'd totally sign up if Josh Duhamel was there as our partner paratrooper.
