Catch Hilary Swank Filming in Ann Arbor

Thanks to some sweet tax incentives, Michigan has seen over 70 films come and go over the past year. But this week, the state’s star wattage got turned up a notch thanks to Hillary Swank who is in Ann Arbor filming scenes for “Betty Anne Waters”, the true story of a woman that put herself through law school to defend her wrongfully accused brother. Over the weekend, Hilary was spotted having dinner at Angelo’s on E. Catherine St and she can be found filming at the University of Michigan today.

Last fall, we tracked Michigan’s filming bonanza in our Chasing Michigan series but back then the most star power we saw was Sean Astin. It’s not that we don’t love Sean Astin, but this month, the A-Listers have landed. Swank will be joined by George Clooney in the next few weeks when he begins filming “Up in the Air” in Detroit. So, if you’re in Michigan this month, watch out for Oscar winners, paparazzi and the occasional celebrity tantrum.
