GRAND RAPIDS, MI — The Michigan Film Office has revealed the in-state budget and tax-incentive rebate for "The End of the Tour," the movie shooting in Grand Rapids with stars Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel.

The production will be awarded a $495,380 rebate based on $2,105,652 of expected in-state spending, according to a statement released by the film office Monday morning.

"The project is expected to hire 66 Michigan workers with a full time equivalent of 12 jobs," the release reads.

The five-week shoot began in the Grand Rapids area in late February, and is scheduled to conclude the week of March 24. The production set up shop in Wayland on Monday, using the Wayland Auction Center facility as a temporary base camp.

The vast majority of the film will be shooting in West Michigan, according to producer David Kanter of Los Angeles-based production company Anonymous Content. Twenty-four of 26 scheduled principal-photography days will take place locally, with one day in New York City and one in Minneapolis.

"We'll have a small unit in other locations from the story," Kanter said. "You unfortunately can't get New York City's Lower East Side or the Mall of America in Grand Rapids."

Last week, filming occurred on a stretch of I-196 cutting through downtown Grand Rapids. A rolling motorcade of film crews escorted by Michigan State Police made several loops between the Fuller Avenue and Lake Michigan Drive exits for a few hours on Thursday, March 6.

Filming also has taken place at Grand Valley State University's Allendale campus and the Harris Building on South Division Avenue. Production set up for seven days near Port Sheldon Street and 72nd Avenue in Hudsonville, and producers are considering filming on the lakeshore, at locations near Muskegon and Grand Haven.

Directed by James Ponsoldt ("The Spectacular Now"), "The End of the Tour" is a drama starring Segel as "Infinite Jest" author David Foster Wallace, and Eisenberg as Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky. The screenplay is based on Lipsky's book, "Although Of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself: A Road Trip with David Foster Wallace," about his conversations with the author.

Anonymous Content has produced "The Fifth Estate," "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and many other works for the big screen. The company is also behind the new hit HBO series "True Detective."

The Michigan Film Office has awarded $40,980,829 on $153,887,708 of approved production expenditures for the 2014 fiscal year, according to the release. The bulk of that money is going toward the untitled Batman/Superman movie slated to shoot in the Detroit area this year; it will also star Eisenberg, as supervillain Lex Luthor. The state caps its film-production rebates at $50 million annually.
