Filming Ends for Medical Drama

Update: March 30

A Bannockburn home which had been on the market just under two years ago for nearly $5 million was the setting for a medical drama filmed in Deerfield and Bannockburn by Sony Pictures and Fox TV.

Filming was completed Thursday as the trailers stationed at Deerfield’s Mitchell Park departed and executives at Sony and Fox will decide whether to name and air the pilot or make it into a series.

The luxurious four bedroom home with eight fireplaces built in 1935 was on the market for just over a year for $4.99 million before it came off in June, 2010, according to information from MRED, LLC.

Original Story: March 28

Hollywood invaded Deerfield ealthis week and the result may be local scenes showing up on television in the future.

Production trailers from Sony Pictures and Fox TV were located near today while a pilot for a potential future television show is being shot at an undisclosed home in Bannockburn, according to  Executive Assistant Tammy Ingoglia.

A person working on the scene, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Patch today the unnamed pilot is for a drama which may never become a television series nor even aired. Once it is made, executives will determine whether to air the pilot.

Should the company be pleased with the results of the effort once it is aired on television, it could become a series.

As Patch gets updates on the effort, we will keep our readers informed.
