Producers of a 50 Cent music video with Eminem called off a second night of filming in Detroit, the Free Press has learned.
According to reporter Brian McCollum, shooting was to have resumed Monday night on the project, which began Sunday in Corktown. But plans were postponed Monday evening when police support could not be properly arranged in time, said a spokesman for Detroit Mayor Dave Bing. He said Detroit filming was being rescheduled.
“In any production shoot, scheduling is tied to the availability of police — whose costs are borne by the production company," spokesman Anthony Neely said in a statement.
Sunday's shoot in Detroit had included scenes at the Michigan Central train station and along Michigan Avenue near Trumbull, featuring a low-flying helicopter in an apparent street-chase sequence. Shooting ran through sunrise.
