Movies Filmed in Michigan

Michigan is home to quite a variety of scenery. From the gritty streets of Detroit to the beautiful dunes and beaches of Lake Michigan and on up to the rugged coast of Lake Superior in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Now that there are better tax incentives for film companies to film pictures here in Michigan I hope that they realize what they’ve been missing all of these years.
