I asked my friend W[here]TH her camera phone was! He's shooting a movie in my neck of the woods. Actor Gerard Butler will be in Melvindale July 8-28 to shoot scenes from the new Lionsgate film "Machine Gun Preacher" before moving to South Africa to film the remainder.
The film is based on the true story of Sam Childers, a missionary in southern Sudan who really is referred to as the "Machine Gun Preacher."
Childers is a former gang biker and drug dealer from Pennsylvania who became a member of the Assembly of God church and later visited Sudan.
While in Africa, he witnessed the work of the Lord's Resistance Army, a militant group in northern Uganda and southern Sudan that captured children and forced them to be child soldiers and s*x slaves.
"I seen the body of a small child that stepped on a land mine," he said in the television news interview embedded below. "I remember I stood over that body and I said, 'God, I'll do whatever I can to help these kids.'"

They were shooting at Somerset Mall and they had the center court all decorated like they do for Christmas. On Tuesday they were shooting at a chinese restaurant a couple of miles from my home. 7 of 91277419602.793911 PostsRegistered 11/26/2006Motor City On 6/24/2010 carol-lamb said: This week they were shooting a new Harold and Kumar movie in my city - Troy, MI.

I work downtown and have seen several movies shooting down there. Biancardi, I think you should make arrangements to hang out at least one night in the bar at Roast in the Book Cadillac. I have to guess that's where he's staying since he was spotted there. The only other places I can think of might be the Townsend in Birmingham or the Ritz-Carleton in Dearborn. biancardi1277419680.4441756 PostsRegistered 11/7/2005 On 6/24/2010 RoughDraft said: On 6/24/2010 biancardi said: Seven, I will be in Michigan during those times!!
