For the first time in years, a major motion picture is being shot in Detroit. Production of “No Sudden Move” began on Monday. It’s a feature film set in Detroit in 1955.

It centers around a group of small-time criminals who are hired to steal what they think is a simple document. Their plans eventually go horribly wrong.

The film stars Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, David Harbour and Jon Hamm.

Ashton and Lyndon sreets on Detroit’s west side were bustling on Tuesday. There were lots of trucks, tents and people. Everyone was wearing masks.
