A2: Film Industry

Julie Hinds of the Detroit Free Press writes about George Clooney’s filming of the “Ides of March,” in the context of possible cuts to tax incentives for the film industry: “On a chilly morning this week, preparations are under way for shooting George Clooney’s new political drama, “The Ides of March,” in Ann Arbor on the University of Michigan campus. Clooney plays Gov. Mike Morris, a candidate in a presidential primary, and is directing the movie. But another political fight has become a big concern among the cast and crew members from the region. This one is about the future of the state’s film incentives.” [Source]
