Filming begins in Detroit for major motion picture โNo Sudden Move'
DETROIT โ A whole bunch of trucks, cables and tents popped up in Rosedale Park on Tuesday, but it wasnโt a construction crew. For the first time in years, a major motion picture is being shot in Detroit. It centers around a group of small-time criminals who are hired to steal what they think is a simple document. There were lots of trucks, tents and people. The film is directed by Steven Soderbergh, who also directed โOut of Sightโ in Detroit in 1998.

Yesterday the chief stood with a couple dozen local pastors from Detroit who want to initiate the "Detroit Night Walks" program used in Boston. I asked Bishop Edgar Vann, one of Detroit's foremost and well known religious figures a question about this program.
