Ahead of Holland’s Tulip Festival, the filming of the Nicole Kidman thriller Holland, Michigan had wrapped.
Earlier this week, Holland, the home of the annual Tulip Festival, received a visit from a film crew working on the upcoming Holland, Michigan film at Holland’s Windmill Island Gardens.
What’s Holland, Michigan about?
According to IMDB the film, which does not have a release date yet, is set in Holland and is “centered around a woman who suspects her husband of cheating and discovers a dark secret life.”
A casting agency that hired dozens of extras to work on the film announced there will be two days of filming on Monday and Tuesday, April 24 and 25. Windmill Island Gardens was closed during the filming.
The City of Holland had cameras throughout the downtown that you can stream live, including a camera that caught plenty of action with the movie’s filming.
Reports say that most of the movie is being filmed in Tennessee. While some scenes were filmed this week in and around the park. The movie is being produced by Amazon Video and directed by Mimi Cave.
Who else is in the thriller?
Kidman and costar Gael García Bernal were sighted at Windmill Island Gardens during filming. Mexican actor García Bernal is known for voicing Hector in Disney’s Coco and was in Bad Education and The Motorcycle Diaries.
Other celebrities in Holland, Michigan include Pride and Prejudice star Matthew Macfadyen and Rachel Sennott.
The Windmill Island Gardens manager, Matt Helmus told MLive.com that the movie crew originally wanted to come during the Tulip Time Festival, but the large crowds would make that too chaotic. Instead, filming took place just before the festival to get as much of the colorful tulip blooms as possible.
Windmill Island Garden is a popular Holland destination where many people go for Tulip Festivals. Mid-April through early October the park holds events such as weddings, Hope College Welcome Week, and more.
The historic windmill ‘de Zwaan’ stands amongst 36 acres of exhibits, gardens, and natural areas. The mill still turns and grinds grain into flour and visitors can tour up 5 floors.
