A dark, creepy piece of local history will be daylighted again with the filming of
Eloise, a psychological thriller based on the lore surrounding the defunct insane asylum in western Wayne County.
Excerpt:
"The psychological thriller will utilize locations throughout Wayne County, with production offices based in Detroit's Masonic Temple...The project is expected to hire 117 Michigan workers – including more than 20 credited Michigan actors – with a full time equivalent of 51 jobs.
Eloise takes place inside a defunct insane asylum of the same name. At one point in time, it was the largest institution of its kind, a city unto itself. Set in modern day, Jacob Martin and his three friends break into the abandoned institution in hopes of finding a death certificate, which will provide Jacob with the rights to a sizable inheritance. While inside the asylum, the group finds that the institution houses a horrifying history as well as the truth about their own tragic pasts."
