From the New York Times:
"LOS ANGELES -- When Andrew van den Houten got a letter two weeks ago rejecting his request for Michigan public money to help finance his latest horror movie, 'The Woman,' it came with an admonition about the state's good name.
"'This film is unlikely to promote tourism in Michigan or to present or reflect Michigan in a positive light,' wrote Janet Lockwood, Michigan's film commissioner. Ms. Lockwood particularly objected to 'this extreme horror film's subject matter, namely realistic cannibalism; the gruesome and graphically violent depictions described in the screenplay; and the explicit nature of the script.'"
Has Lockwood ever been to Detroit?
