The big screen came to Lynn again this weekend with filmmakers shooting, “the untitled Detroit project” in front of district court on Essex St.
According to the Lynn Police Department Facebook page, filmmakers transformed the street in front of the courthouse Friday night into a scene for a Detroit riot in 1967.
Film making according to the police will take place throughout the weekend, “There will be vintage police and national guard vehicles staged in the area and the filming will include some simulated gunfire”
Drivers and residents anticipate road closures affecting Essex and Johnson Streets along with parking restrictions on Johnson and Sutton St. through Sunday. Check the Lynn Police Department Facebook page for updated information
