I just received the following information from a reliable source.
“A Nightmare on Elm Street” is setting up Chicago production offices in Feb. 2009.
CHICAGO – It’s funny the way that the Blu-Ray market has developed in that success of a new title can often bring an old one to the HD format more quickly than it otherwise would get there. In the case of the great “Near Dark,” it’s the success of two films, one that shares a theme (“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”) and one that shares director Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”). Whatever the reason, don’t fail to include arguably the best vampire movie ever made in your collection.
CHICAGO – The sixth and final season of the J.J. Abrams hit television series “Lost” will premiere with a special all-night event on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2009. The recap special will start at 7pm CST followed by the highly anticipated sixth season two-hour premiere at 8pm CST on ABC.

Dear HollywoodChicago.com readers,
Continue your conversation here for “A Nightmare on Elm Street” filming in Chicago. It’s great so far! This is one of the main reasons HollywoodChicago.com exists.
Local readers exploded in a thread here for local “Public Enemies” filming, “The Dark Knight” filming, etc. Now that you’ve confirmed who’s doing the local casting, I’ve just contacted them to see how we can more closely work with them for the betterment of everyone.
Keep discussing here as you learn new information, and in addition, here’s a brief thread going on over at Atmosphere Casting about the local filming, too.

Thanks slaphap,
I was thinking in production positions… any ideas?
Thanks again.
I Will Try....
I know a few people that usually work as PA’s on sets when filming in Chicago, I’ll try and find out where they get the work from. Thats if they’re willing to give it up the info. As for anything else like being an extra etc., you probably stand a better chance of getting some work if your younger in age, say 30 and under. Just my guess, because of the genre of the movie, but it shouldn’t deter anyone from registering to try.
