Real Steel and The Ides of March will battle it out that the box office this weekend, and even though the two movies seem like they couldn't be more different, they actually have one thing in common; they were both filmed in Detroit.

Real Steel, a family-friendly sci-fi flick set in the future when giant robots face off in the Robot Boxing League, was filmed at various locations around Detroit. Some notable spots are the Detroit Fire Department Headquarters (which was transformed into a boxing ring), the COBO Center, the Parkway Motel near Holly, MI, and Joe Louis Arena.]]> cmb 2011-10-07T13:31:53-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2011/5/6/131726/2687

The movie is also welcoming a new crop of Scream stars, like Adam Brody, Anthony Anderson, Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts, too.

David Arquette is loving his summer in Michigan, and he's not afraid to tweet all about it. The actor is staying in Ann Arbor with his wife and co-star, Courtney Cox, while they film Scream 4 at various locations around the state.

When he's not on the set, David is out and about trying all that Ann Arbor has to offer, and he's passing on his favorite things to his Twitter followers. So far, he's had breakfast at The Broken Egg in Ann Arbor, which called "the best breakfast in town", he's played games at Pinball Pete's, he took Courteney on a date night at their "favorite restaurant EVE in Ann Arbor" and had lunch at Zingerman's Deli, which he says, "ROCKS."

David likes the state so much that he even designed a t-shirt in its honor. Arquette, along with Ben Harper and David Bedwell, owns a clothing line called Propr, and their new line includes a shout out to MI. Arquette says the new t-shirt is, “more of a graphic T that features (University of) Michigan football colors and cool numbers 1837, the date when Michigan became a state,” he says. “It’s got a really fun feel. It’s a nice nod to the great state of Michigan.” ]]> cmb 2010-07-23T08:33:58-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/1/9/11855/46615
