Filming for movie begins in Minneapolis
Independent film opens shoot in downtown Minneapolis.
by Colin Covert
A three-ring circus of film crewmembers wrestled with floodlights outside the Chambers Hotel in Minneapolis Monday morning as shooting began on “Dead of Night,” an independent feature starring Minneapolis native Kelly Carlson and N’Sync’s J.C. Chasez.
The hotel’s street-level restaurant was standing in for a Los Angeles bistro. Other locations for the 21-day shoot include Saint Paul Academy’s ice rink and a cabin in White Bear Lake. The film concerns a reality television program that travels to a remote northern town where a killer stalks the cast and crew one by one.
The film is written and directed by Jeff Fisher, a writer for the Paris Hilton reality series “The Simple Life.”It’s in the horror genre with some pretty good scares,” said Molly Getty, Fisher’s Minneapolis-born assistant.
The feature, with a budget of about $1 million, is the third movie to be shot in the state in recent months, said Minnesota Film Board Executive Director Lucinda Winter.
