Jason Segel sightings from Ann Arborites on Reddit


Who said Michigan tax incentives haven't been good for the state? They single-handedly brought 246 upvotes, and counting, to a local Redditor. Congrats BurtonWarpup. Segel is in town filming "Five Year Engagement." Costars Allison Brie (Community, Mad Men), Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, The Young Victoria) and Mindy Kaling (The Office) have also been spotted around town at Connor's, Old Town and Circus (I missed them all three times, but my friends said that Karaoke with them was a blast at Circus).

  1. My wife and I were fortunate enough to work as extras in one scene (a rehearsal dinner) and it was obvious that these actors are really enjoying their time together. Lot's of joking between takes and a director who lets them ad lib on film quite a bit. From what we saw, I think it's going to be a very funny movie.

  2. Oh, and speaking of the film incentives, there is currently a bill (it was Senate Bill 383--not sure if it'll get the same number in the house) that passed the State Senate and moved to the House that will restore the incentives to some degree. Please write to your State reps in support!

    I think film is a two-fer. Not only do we get the direct jobs and money spent in the state by the productions, but the beautiful scenery of Michigan is presented to millions of people all over the world. I hear Bridges of Madison County turned that part of rural Iowa into a tourist destination. A couple of hit films would easily do the same for Michigan.

  3. @Tom The thing that struck me the most about seeing the actors together at Old Town last month was that they all seemed to really enjoy hanging out together. It's not a side of Hollywood you get to see very often.

  4. I heard he's been making out with all of the female bartenders around town. True story?
