OK. We couldn't resist this article. (And it does have some relevance to Detroit moving forward.) Kevin Smith is bring a production to Detroit. It's a movie about hockey based on a song by Warren Zevon and the lyrics were written by Mitch Albom. This is the reality folks.
Excerpt from the
Detroit Free Press:
A lot of (the film) is going to take place in the '70s. Detroit looks
like it stopped in the '70s, so we literally don't have to set-decorate
or set-design. We just turn on the camera and there's an old building.
It's a great place and hopefully we'll do it justice.
It's almost
like, for me, the closest parallel to it is "Forrest Gump" and not in
terms of we're gonna have all these amazing special effects in it. It's
just you follow one very simple person in a life that just touches
everything throughout history and the sport, so it's kinda like that.
It's ambitious, we're not gonna be as good as "Forrest Gump," but it's
ambitious.
It's funny, but it's not the comedy that I do. Like right now, honestly
it's still PG-13, there's no cursing in it.
