A new horror film starring Hayden Christensen and Thandie Newton is filming in Detroit — and incorporating a Detroit TV station into the film.
The newsroom of WXYZ is being used as the set for some scenes in the film “Vanishing on 7th Street.”
The movie is about the strange disappearance of nearly an entire city’s population. Hayden Christensen (Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: Episode II” and “Episode III”) plays a news reporter covering the story.
Several staff members from channel 7 news will also have small roles in the movie.
Weekend anchor Dave LewAllen will play the role of another reporter. Traffic reporter Erin Nicole plays a meteorologist and Christensen’s character’s girlfriend.
Stephen Clark, Carolyn Clifford and Tom Leyden are also expected to have roles in the film.
