Hey, Girl: What If I Set The Screenplay For My New Movie in Detroit?

Detroit will have a starring role in "How To Catch a Monster," the new movie to be directed by Ryan Gosling -- and not just as a filming location, reports Julie Hinds in the Free Press.

It turns out the screenplay, also written by the red-hot actor, is set in the Motor City.

The story goes that when Gosling was in town in 2011 to shoot "The Ides of March" with George Clooney, he found much creative inspiration in the city.

"Ryan was inspired by what he saw in Detroit and set the movie in Detroit," says David Lancaster, co-president of Bold Films, which is producing and financing the movie.
