The trailer for "Only Lovers Left Alive," the vampire film that indie director Jim Jarmusch shot in Brush Park and other Detroit locations in 2012, is circulating online.
"Only Lovers Left Alive" stars Tom Hiddleston as Adam, an underground musician in what one reviewer called "a Detroit seemingly reverting to primeval jungle" who’s depressed by the current state of the world and reunites with his centuries-long lover, Eve (Tilda Swinton).
It opens April 11 in the U.S.
Jarmusch, a highly regarded indie filmmaker, wrote and directed the film, which has received positive reviews in Great Britain, where it opened earlier this year.
The Michigan Film Office approved the film for an incentive of $365,904 on $1,304,605 of projected in-state expenditures. Jarmusch also filmed in Tangiers.
In addition to using a wide range of Detroit locations, the project is also said to feature some of Detroit’s influential sounds and diverse musical contributions throughout the soundtrack.
Jarmusch became a Detroit fan while he filmed here.
“Shooting here has been a great experience,” he was quoted as saying last year.
“The city and people of Detroit have a strong an unique spirit, and our local crew has been amazing – creative, hardworking, and very open to our unusual style of filmmaking. I send them my sincere appreciation and respect, as I do to the great city of Detroit.”
