I hope they can sustain the film business. Some major films have shot here in the past year. Gran Torino, Drew Barrymore's Roller Derby movie, a movie with Sam Jack, another one with Terrence Howard is starting up soon, and a movie with Deniro.

Allen Park -- A new suburban Detroit movie studio is closer to becoming a reality.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Thursday afternoon to mark the start of construction on the 104-acre complex in Allen Park.

The Unity Studios facility is scheduled to open in October, and its first project will begin filming in November.

Also in October, the Lifton Institute for Media Skills will open on site for its first class of 250 students who will be trained for jobs in the film industry.

Unity Studios is majority owned by a group of investors from Los Angeles and Michigan, including President Jimmy Lifton, a veteran Hollywood film executive.
