Sneak Peek of Drew Barrymore Movie “Whip It”

USA Today has an eight photo spread for the upcoming directorial debut Drew Barrymore movie Whip It (which is set to hit theaters on October 9th.) The movie was shot all around Metro Detroit last summer with several cast member sightings (Ellen Page, Jimmy Fallon, Juliette Lewis, Eve, Zoe Bell, Marcia Gay Harden) partying it up at local Detroit music, shopping and entertainment venues during off production hours.

The Austin Decider still wonders how well the Michigan local production will fill in for Austin, where the film (and the book it was based on Derby Girl) take place.

Variety Magazine Comes To Detroit

This week, the world’s biggest insider movie industry magazine Variety broke down exactly why Michigan is seeing such a great response from it’s recent tax incentive. Keep an eye out for Variety reporters and photographers around town in the near future as they look to highlight Whip It.

Is Michigan ready for all this Hollywood work rush (Variety sure thinks so)?

Variety also highlights a Michigan native who has recently come back to the state to open up shop in Holland, Michigan.

Variety has also created a impressive list of all the recent big studio movies shot in the last ten years in the state of Michigan. It should be noted that what took ten years, the new Michigan incentives will more then double this list in just under six months.
