Clooney movie credits Michigan, skips Ohio

CINCINNATI (AP) — The fictional Ohio primary candidate in George Clooney’s new movie probably wouldn’t give Michigan credit and overlook the Buckeye State. But that’s what the film itself does.

The closing credits for “Ides of March” say it was “filmed on location in Michigan,” though it’s also loaded with familiar southwest Ohio locales including Miami and Xavier universities and Cincinnati’s Fountain Square.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports producer Grant Heslov calls the omission of Ohio a mistake “that slipped through the cracks.” He says it will be corrected for home-entertainment versions.

In the film, Cincinnati-area native Clooney plays a presidential candidate involved in a drama on the eve of the Ohio Democratic primary.
