The film project titled "Highland Park" was announced Monday at a news conference at the McGregor Library.
The story line is expected to mirror the ongoing struggle to reopen the Detroit-area library, which closed in March 2002 because the city could not afford to keep it open.
Lt. Gov. John Cherry Jr., Highland Park Mayor Hubert Yopp, along with officials from the Bureau of Motion Pictures, a California-based film company, attended the news conference announcing the film on the steps of the library.
Yopp tells the Detroit Free Press the library will undergo significant restoration and the movie will be a "stepping stone" to its reopening.
