Dearborn to Star in New Hollywood Film

The movie is based on Larry Beinhart's book of the same name.

Get ready for some celebrity watching in Dearborn.

Pierce Brosnan, Ed Harris, Jim Gaffigan, Jennifer Connelly and Greg Kinnear are among those starring in a new Mandalay Entertainment film called Salvation Boulevard that is expected to begin filming sometime in May in Dearborn and metro Detroit, sources tell Deepsaidwhat.com. The film is directed by George Ratliff.

We are told movie crews will be staying at the Ritz and the Hyatt in Dearborn for about a month once filming begins for the movie, which is expected to be out sometime in 2011.

The movie, adapted from Larry Beinhart’s novel of the same name, is about a private detective investigating the killing of a professor and it becomes a clash of faiths: The detective is a born-again Christian, the dead man an atheist, the accused killer an Islamic foreign student and the D.A. is Jewish.

Should be interesting.

   Uh, “staring” or “starring?” Sorry, just couldn’t resist.

   Anyway, it is good to hear something like this is in and around our city. Hope it’s not a mystery, though, because you just solved the murder.

   Welcome to Dearborn, Hollywood people!

   Oh i hope a studio could do a documentary on this administration and put it under the “horror” category. Maybe they could borrow names for it from other movies like “apocalypse now”.
