Lights!
Camera? KĄ
A few short months ago, KĄ made a very special exception for the producers of
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation by welcoming them into their theatrecameras and allfor the filming of
CSI's upcoming season premiere.
Over 60
CSI production staff members, actors and extras invaded the theatre at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas for this very special event. It took three days and almost 30 hours to film the episoderequiring up to three cameras at times to capture all the action.
The
top-rated crime show will feature several KĄ artists and crew members, and the storyline will focus on the investigation of a dead body discovered in the midst of a performance. The episode will feature scenes from Battlefield and part of the KĄ set, but most of the in-depth homicide investigation will take place backstage.
For most of the
CSI cast and crew, this was their first taste of life behind the scenes with
Cirque du Soleil. William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger and George Eads each mentioned how impressed they were by the KĄ theatre and staff
and the entire KĄ cast and crew were equally impressed with their
CSI experience.
The Fall 2006 premiere of CSI featuring KĄ will air on Thursday, September 21 on CBS.
