According to Mlive.com, actors Brian Dennehy and Fred Thompson have signed on for two of the leading roles in Alleged, a new movie on the historic Scopes Monkey Trial being shot at Crossroads Village in Flint starting Sept. 14. This well be the second movie that both Dennehy and Thompson have shot in Michigan since the passing of the Michigan Film Incentives. Last year Dennehy worked on the upcoming Meet Monica Velour, while Thompson is currently shooting the The Genesis Code in Grand Rapids.

Kind of missed this one since casting calls were last weekend, but a new movie staring Kim Cattrall (who was here for the 2008 Auto Show) and Brian Dennehy titled Miss January will be shooting around metro Detroit starting on September 2. The reason I bring this up is that it has been brought to my attention that the company who conducted the casting call; Kathy McKee Casting, has been reportedly ripping off actors who get the parts.
Also, there is an update on the movie Ye Olde Times staring Lindsay Lohen which was reportedly set to start shooting in Holly, Michigan this fall. Apparently the movies other top star Jack Black has backed out of the movie and the production is having a hard time coming up with the proper funding now.
