Thanks to our Governor for passing a nice tax intensive there are already over a dozen movies signed on to film here in Michigan. A few are filming right now and have been working as close as fifteen minutes from my house.

Some of the celebs that are here working:
Justin Long
Steve Buscemi
Ray Liotta
Michael Cera
Client Eastwood
Cory Hardrict
Brian Haley
Ellen Page
Drew Barrymore
Juliette Lewis
Marcia Gay Harden
Jimmy Fallon
Eve
Ice Cube

I saw an ad in the paper for Client Eastwood’s western looking for a hundred extras, the pay is $250.00 a day. This is a great thing for a state like ours that has been hit with massive job loss and foreclosures over the last few years. $250.00 can do a lot for a struggling family. It’s also great for local business like restaurants, hotels, shopping, and night clubs. It takes a lot of people to film a movie, they all have to eat and sleep some where.

Way to go Governor Granholm !
