Today Summit, Tomorrow Hollywood

In the immortal words of the musical RENT, " I hear that Spike Lee's shooting down the street..." (well, "Spike-Lee-style...")

Have you wondered what all those start trailers and movie stuff has been on the 1000 block of Summit?  


"Dear White People," which has been described as a Spike Lee-style satire about being a person of color in a city filled with white people, has been shooting on Summit Avenue, near the Governor's Mansion, finishing up a few weeks of filming at various Twin Cities locations (also including the University of Minnesota). Hoping for a premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah next January, "Dear White People" stars Dennis Haysbert, who has a long movie resume but is best known as the authoritative voice of Allstate Insurance.
