Hammond Indiana and Chicago:
The new ABC series “Mind Games” is now filming in the Chicago area as well as in Hammond Indiana. “Mind Games” stars Christian Slater and Steve Zahn as brothers who are able to somehow manipulate peoples minds. Christian Slater plays Ross, an ex-con whose previous occupation was as a con man and his brother named Clark, suffers from bi-polar disorder but is an expert in psychological manipulation. Together they start a business to help people solve the problems they can’t do on their own.
Actually, they are filming a scene tonight at Wicker Park’s Moonshine at 1824 W. Division St. If you wanna take a peak at the filming, Moonshine says it will stay open yet there will be no parking allowed on the street and the streets may be closed off.
