It's not confirmed, but it seems Charlie's Angels, the TV drama show is coming to film in Miami. The show, executive produced by actress Drew Barrymore, will get picked up, after spending more than a month in our city filming the ABC pilot.

The pilot is full of action and used our city as a backdrop, including Ocean Drive, Downtown Miami, and Wynwood, where they rented an empty warehouse and as a production home.

The show will star hardly famous actors Minka Kelly , Rachael Taylor and Annie Ilonzeh. Bosley will be played by Ramon Rodriguez who was just in the movie hit, Battle: Los Angeles. One plus for Rodriguez was his car on the show, a Maserati from The Collection. Nice perk!!!

GET READY TO GET SCARED: “NIGHTMARE: GHOST STORIES,” NEW YORK’S RECORD-BREAKING HAUNTED HOUSE COMING TO MIAMI

Adding considerable excitement to South Florida’s edgy entertainment scene is the announcement that Nightmare: Ghost Stories, New York’s Most Horrifying Haunted House will bring its famed interactive experience Miami this September. The
event has been scaring record-breaking crowds of happy ghost seekers on Manhattan’s super-hot Lower East Side for four years, and will premiere in Miami’s own center of urban heat for a run at Soho Studios (2136 N.W. First Avenue, Wynwood) from Thursday, September 25 through Sunday, November 2.

Created by Timothy Haskell, who ABC World News Tonight tagged the “king of horror,” and directed by John Harlacher (writer and director of the feature film, “Urchin”). “NIGHTMARE: GHOST STORIES” will make its bow under the aegis of Psycho Clan and will coincide with the New York premiere of the franchise’s newest offering, “Nightmare IIII: Bad Dreams Come True,” on September 25.

NIGHTMARE: GHOST STORIES is a classic walk-through haunted house. A cast of 20 live performers act out all manner of macabre, scream-inducing scenarios.

VIEW PREVIEW


But the fright doesn’t end when you leave the haunted house. There are two other hair-raising attractions that will keep your heart racing: The Mirror Maze is a big, spooky labyrinth designed to disorient, confuse and unsettle even the most intrepid navigator— and don’t think you’ll be alone in the dark. And finally, the 4-D Theatre, a fully immersive sensory experience set in a graveyard, is sure to give you a big case of the creeps.

Nightmare: Ghost Stories is a three-event attraction that is so steeped in horror that only the full outdoor bar and lounge can calm the nerves and steady the spirits of even the more fearless visitors.

IF YOU GO:
Nightmare: Ghost Stories is located at
Soho Studios 2136 N.W. First Avenue in Wynwood.
