I found out I won’t be moving just yet so updates will resume as usual. Here is some news on Juliette’s new movie Whip it!.
A new comedy film about female roller derby is skating its way to Birch Run Township Monday.
Crew members from the Drew Barrymore-directed movie “Whip It!” have began production at the former Ken’s Diner on M-83 just north of Birch Run Road.
The movie, which stars Barrymore, Ellen Page of “Juno” and Juliette Lewis, began filming in Texas and Southeast Michigan in late July. Page will play an ex-beauty pageant contestant in a small Texas town who sneaks off to skate in the Austin roller derby league.
Hollywood crews transformed the Mid-Michigan former diner into a fictional BBQ restaurant called the Oink Joint. “Whip It!” location managers told TV5 they will be closing M-83 down off and on during shooting.
