Moontrap: Target Earth, Crash Course films to begin shooting in Metro Detroit

Another pair of films has just been approved for incentives from the Michigan Film Office. Look for these projects to begin rolling in the warmer months ahead.

Excerpt:

"In Moontrap: Target Earth, a 14,000 year old spacecraft is discovered at an excavation site. Created by a previously unknown human civilization, it becomes re-activated, taking the film’s heroes to the moon to encounter robotic intelligence standing guard over ancient secrets.

The project will film on location in Troy, Detroit and the metro-Detroit area...

Crash Course is a documentary based on the book by Pulitzer Prize winner and longtime Wall Street Journal Detroit Bureau Chief Paul Ingrassia. The film will tell the remarkable story of the rise and fall – and rise again of the United States automobile industry. The documentary will include interviews and other scenes filmed in Detroit, Auburn Hills, Highland Park, Dearborn and Flint."
