Hollywood to Michigan film company: Stop using Walk of Fame star in ad

Hollywood to Michigan: Hands off!

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has sent a “cease and desist” letter to a Michigan film production company for using the famous image of a Hollywood Walk of Fame star to tout Michigan’s new film incentives.

Daniel Cobb, president of Axiom Entertainment, a Rochester-based film marketing and production company with about 50 employees, ran his ad recently in the Hollywood Reporter, a film industry publication. The ad shows a typical Walk of Fame star but instead of the name of a movie personality the name reads “Michigan.”
