The movie is based on Larry Beinhart's book of the same name.

Get ready for some celebrity watching in Dearborn.

Pierce Brosnan, Ed Harris, Jim Gaffigan, Jennifer Connelly and Greg Kinnear are among those starring in a new Mandalay Entertainment film called Salvation Boulevard that is expected to begin filming sometime in May in Dearborn and metro Detroit, sources tell Deepsaidwhat.com. The film is directed by George Ratliff.

We are told movie crews will be staying at the Ritz and the Hyatt in Dearborn for about a month once filming begins for the movie, which is expected to be out sometime in 2011.

The movie, adapted from Larry Beinhart’s novel of the same name, is about a private detective investigating the killing of a professor and it becomes a clash of faiths: The detective is a born-again Christian, the dead man an atheist, the accused killer an Islamic foreign student and the D.A. is Jewish.

Should be interesting.

The League of Women Voters of Dearborn-Dearborn Heights is presenting the movie “Blue Gold – World Water Wars,” based on the ground-breaking book by M. Barlow and T. Clarke of the same name.

The movie sheds light on the world’s rapidly approaching water crisis and suggests wars of the future will be fought over water, as they today are over oil, as the source of all life enters the global marketplace and political arena.

As Michigan struggles to maintain shoreline beauty and improve water quality, some places struggle to find drinkable water. Don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. The film finishes with some problem-solving examples.

The public is invited to join the League on Thursday, April 29, 2010, 7:00 p.m. at Christ Episcopal Church, 120 N. Military, Dearborn. Please contact 313-278-6476 for questions and to register so the League can plan seating and snacks.
