Charisma Carpenter

Two TV movies, a feature shooting in Nova Scotia

Relative Chaos, the ABC Family movie, was shooting in Chester on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The movie stars former Pittsburgh Steeler Terry Bradshaw, Christopher Gorham (Out of Practice, CSI and Felicity), Nicholas Brendon (Buffy and the Vampire Slayer), Charisma Carpenter (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Veronica Mars), Fiona Reid (My Big Fat Greek Wedding), Jayne Eastwood (This Is Wonderland), Mayko Nguyen (ReGenesis), Jenn Robertson (Comedy Inc.) and local actors Stacy Smith (New Waterford Girl), Sarah English and Nikki Barnett (Sex Traffic, The River King).

The von Zerneck/Sertner Film is also using a home along the Purcells Cove Road side of the Northwest Arm.

It is down the road from the area off Purcells Cove Road where the Buddhist wedding preparations and celebrations are taking place.

The movie is expected to wrap next week, but producer Randy Sutter says the Los Angeles-based company is eyeing another project involving race cars and if things work out they hope to shoot it here this summer.

Meanwhile, the A&E movie Wedding March, starring John Stamos, James Brolin, Eric Dane and Bonnie Somerville, began shooting in Halifax this week and is expected to film until June 29.

And the local feature film, Poor Boys’ Game, co-written by Chaz Thorne and Clement Virgo, is also shooting in Halifax. It stars Danny Glover, Tonya Lee Williams and Rossif Sutherland.

Some of the local actors in Poor Boys’ Game include Lee J. Campbell, Lorne White, Carol Sinclair, Gary James and Hugh Thompson.

It looks like a busy summer of filming in Halifax.
