Bad Axe, MI Hits the Silver Screen!
“This Must Be The Place” is Michigan’s next feature film and is scheduled to start filming Sept 8th – 15th around Bad Axe, MI. Once finished, they will be moving to Detroit for 3 more weeks of shooting. The film stars Sean Penn, Frances McDormand and Harry Dean Stanton.
“This Must Be The Place” Plot Summary:
Cheyenne, a wealthy former rock star (Penn), now bored and jaded in his retirement embarks on a quest to find his father’s persecutor, an ex-Nazi war criminal now hiding out in the U.S. Learning his father is close to death, he travels to New York in the hope of being reconciled with him during his final hours, only to arrive too late. Having been estranged for over 30 years, it is only now in death that he learns the true extent of his father’s humiliation in Auschwitz at the hands of former SS Officer Aloise Muller – an event he is determined to avenge. So begins a life-altering journey across the heartland of America to track down and confront his father’s nemesis. As his quest unfolds, Cheyenne is reawakened by the people he encounters and his journey is transformed into one of reconciliation and self discovery. As his date with destiny arrives and he tracks down Muller, Cheyenne must finally decide if it is redemption he seeks ….or revenge. Starring two time Academy Award winner Sean Penn and marking the much-anticipated English-language debut of acclaimed director Paolo Sorrentino, “THIS MUST BE THE PLACE” is a gripping examination of a man on the precipice of obsession.

It is so fascinating to discover that my hometown will be in a movie!!! I just read in the Huron Daily Tribune that the road I grew up on will be closed tomorrow for filming–it’s literally the mile that my dad currently lives on that will be filmed! My husband’s boss has a small part, so I am assuming all of the casting calls and extras have been filled already.
