Indie film titan Jim Jarmusch shooting vampire flick in Brush Park
Stop the virtual presses: the perpetual silver fox of independent film, Jim Jarmusch, has been spotted walking around downtown Detroit. A few years ago, during a weekend in New York, we spotted Jim walking in Union Square. He likes cities and he likes walking. He’s never a stranger to paradise. Welcome to Detroit.
He’s here to make a vampire flick, provisionally titles “Only Lovers Left Alive.” We like it.
An exerct from Deadline Detroit:
The movie, a centuries-long romantic drama about two vampires, has an impressive cast, including Mia Wasikowska (the star of “Alice in Wonderland”), Tom Hiddleston (Loki in “The Avengers”), Tilda Swinton (“Michael Clayton”), John Hurt (“Alien”) and the just-announced Anton Yelchin (“Fright Night”).
