Michigan Building
The ornate plaster ceiling of the theater auditorium and grand lobby, at the ninth floor level, are still intact, as are parts of the mezzanine, the 2nd and 3rd balcony foyers and their staircases.The ninth floor was used for filming the donut contest in the series three premiere episode of The Grand Tour, entitled "Motown Funk".This false window (largest of its kind in the country)[citation needed] has a curved back wall with over 50 ornate mirrors that reflected the light from chandelier out to the street.The Michigan is featured in several films: in 8 Mile, where the crew rapped before entering the Chin Tiki restaurant space; in The Island, where it is a structure of the Los Angeles of the future; in Street Kings: Motor City; in Alex Cross;[5] and in Transformers: Age of Extinction.During a scene in Only Lovers Left Alive set in the building, the main protagonists discuss its history as an example of cultural change and decay.
