Justin Timberlake is back in action and returned to the set of his sci-fi thriller feature film "Now," which was put on a short hold after the "SexyBack" singer injured a calf muscle during shooting in early December. Filming will resume after the holidays on January 5th, 2011. The film's extras casting director is holding open casting calls for attractive young adults who have not yet worked on the project.
The feature film, which was originally titled "I'm.Mortal," takes place in a not-to-distant future where time dictates all aspects of life. Population control is regulated by stopping the aging gene at 25 years, roughly when an individuals brain becomes fully mature - at which point a "body clock" begins a countdown to death. The clock displays on a persons wrist under the skin, and time is transferred via a high tech hand-shake that utilizes the body's natural electricity in the pulse. Wealthy people can live forever by purchasing additional "life time," but the poor die when the clock hits zero.
Due to this storyline, the film is in need of additional good looking young adult extras who fit specific needs. They are casting what is called "18 to look younger" in the business. It simply means that production needs people who are above 18 years of age, but can appear to be under 18.
New Regency Pictures picked up the high-priority project last spring. Academy Award nominated Andrew Niccol is directing, with Marc Abraham, Eric Newman, Thomas A. Bliss and Kristel Laiblin producing for Strike Entertainment. Twentieth Century Fox will distribute the film.

J.R.R. Tolkien’s 'The Hobbit' open casting calls for short extras in New Zealand
Pre-production on J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit”, is underway in New Zealand, and the film's extras casting department is holding three open casting calls for extras to appear as Hobbits in the film. Peter Jackson will be directing the two-part Lord of The Rings prequel. Guillermo del Toro was previously set to direct "The Hobbit" films, however he pulled out of the project on June 1, 2010 and cited excessive delays to the shooting start date as the reason he quit. Guillermo del Toro had to leave the project due to contractual obligations with other studios.
Peter Jackson directed all three “Lord of the Rings” films, which earned a total of 30 Academy Award nominations and 17 Academy Awards. Jackson will shoot The Hobbit: Part 1 and The Hobbit: Part 2 back-to-back in Digital 3-D, using the latest camera and stereo technology.
● Filming on The Hobbit: Part 1 will begin February, 2011 in Matamata.
● The Hobbit: Part 1 is currently slated to hit theaters December 2012.
● The Hobbit: Part 2 is currently slated to hit theaters December 2013.
Casting Information for The Hobbit: Part 1 and The Hobbit: Part 2
You MUST have New Zealand Tax number and be able to legally work in the country. You must be either a New Zealand Citizen or Permanent Resident or have a temporary working visa that would see you through the entire filming schedule. NZ law says they must hire locals before they can even consider bringing in overseas people, unless they perform a task that can not be performed by locals.
Note: If you are under 30 years old, you can often get a one or two year Working Holiday Visa for New Zealand, that will allow you to visit, live there, and earn money as you go. If you get it soon, you should be there in time for the filming of The Hobbit.
Inquire at your local NZ Embassy, or check out their website.

Story:
The adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s "The Hobbit" will be made into two live action films. Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted to be left alone in quiet comfort. But the wizard Gandalf came along with a band of homeless dwarfs. Soon Bilbo was drawn into their quest, facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders, and worse unknown dangers. Finally, it was Bilbo alone and unaided who had to confront the great dragon Smaug, the terror of an entire countryside.
Peter Jackson directed all three “Lord of the Rings” films, which earned a total of 30 Academy Award nominations and 17 Academy Awards. Jackson will shoot The Hobbit: Part 1 and The Hobbit: Part 2 back-to-back in Digital 3-D, using the latest camera and stereo technology.

Warner Bros. Pictures will be filming the upcoming feature film 'Contagion' in Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dubai, Japan, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, Brazil, Russia, and Malaysia. There will be two cattle calls for extras to work on the Chicago area production of the film.
Academy Award winning director Steven Soderbergh will helm the project, and he will also co-produce with Oscar Nominees Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher, along with Gregory Jacobs. Scott Z. Burns has penned the screenplay. Burns also wrote the screenplays to the Warner Bros. Matt Damon films "The Bourne Ultimatum," and "The Informant!".
Carmen Cuba is casting the principal actors for the film. Cuba is no stranger to working on Steven Soderbergh projects, as she has cast the films "Erin Brockovich", "Bubble", "The Girlfriend Experience", "The Informant!" and the recently completed "Butter" and "Haywire" - all of which Soderbergh directed. Carmen Cuba has found non-actors to portray fictionalized characters in Soderbergh’s fictionalized stories “Bubble” and “The Girlfriend Experience”, and little-known talent to play leading roles in "The Informant!".
Los Angeles based extras casting company, Rich King Casting, will be holding open extras casting calls in the U.S. locations, as there will be a very large number of extras used in the film.
Shooting on Contagion will run from September 25, 2010 through January 11, 2010. The film's release date is October 21, 2011.

Story:
An action-thriller with multiple plotlines, that takes place in a worst case scenario of a deadly virus. We first meet Gwyneth Paltrow's character, Beth Emhoff, as she flies back from a business trip, along with a casino worker in Hong Kong, Li Fai (Josie Ho), and a Ukranian supermodel in London, Irina Modelskova. Almost immediately, all three are struck down by a mysterious ailment — Li Fai meets a particularly messy end in downtown Hong Kong after hallucinating in the streets. Beth's husband Thomas (Damon) is forced to care for his wife, and soon his step-son, as her condition worsens. The virus spreads, first through the Emhoff's native Minneapolis — and very plausible through the unsanitary public school system where kids readily share infections as it is — and then to Chicago, and the rest of the U.S. The story opens on Thanksgiving weekend, almost the worst possible time a virus could break out, considering the amount of travel going on (airplanes being practically an incubator for common cold spreading), and, as one character puts it, "It's the biggest shopping weekend of the year." while simultaneously the virus, and the fear it causes, spreads through the world. As the infection begins to spread, we meet a collection of other characters around the world. Dr. Ellis Cheever (Fishburne), the head of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and his colleague Dr. Erin Mears (Winslet) are both battling to find a cure for the disease, the latter being sent to examine Emhoff at home in Minnesota, while European doctor Leonora Orantes (Cotillard), works for the World Health Organization, has a similar aim; heading to Hong Kong to investigate what appears to be the genesis spot of the breakout. Alan Krumwiede (Law), meanwhile, is a hungry, truth-seeking blogger with an unfortunate interest in conspiracy theories, who is responsible for spreading information about the disease, both true and false, around the world.

Open Casting Calls in Bartlesville, OK for Terrence Malick feature film
New Additional Open Casting Calls
There will be two open casting calls in Bartlesville, Oklahoma on August 28th and 29th for the upcoming Terrence Malick feature film starring Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Javier Bardem, and Rachel Weisz. The film has a working title of 'Project B'.
Director/Writer Terrence Malick is staying true to form and keeping the film's story and title under tight wraps. Terry Malick is known as a notoriously reclusive filmmaker, his contracts stipulate that no one may photograph him, and he routinely declines requests for interviews. Most Hollywood insiders consider Malick's films to be masterpieces, in particular Badlands and Days of Heaven. Malick was nominated for an Academy Award for both Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director for The Thin Red Line. Malick grew up in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
The film's Oklahoma casting director is seeking people of all ages, ethnicities, and types. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. No previous acting experience is required and all are encouraged to try out. There are speaking roles available as well as background extras.

Open Casting Call for CBS TV series 'Hawaii-Five-0' actors and extras
The new CBS crime drama 'Hawaii-Five-0' is currently in production and casting for principal actors, day players, extras, and stand-ins is underway. There will be an open casting call on August 28, 2010 for both speaking and non-speaking roles. The casting directors, Rachel Sutton and Julie Carson are looking to cast people of all ages, races and backgrounds for upcoming shoots to play the parts of bikini girls, surfers, tourists, locals, etc.
The original series aired from September 20, 1968 to April 4, 1980. This new version of Hawaii Five-0 is set in present-day Hawaii and is spelled 'Hawaii Five-0' with the last character a zero instead of a capital letter such as the original series was spelled. The name of this television series comes from the fact that Hawaii was the 50th state to join the United States.
The series regulars and most of the guest stars are cast out of Los Angeles, and the rest of the casting is done in Hawaii. The series shoots in Oahu, Hawaii and is under AFTRA contract. Hawaii Five-0 premieres with a sneak preview September 13, 2010 at Sunset on the Beach at Waikiki. The show will join the network's 2010–2011 fall lineup on September 20, 2010.

Story:
A contemporary take on the classic series about a new elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands’ sun-drenched beaches. Detective Steve McGarrett, a decorated Naval officer turned cop, returns to Oahu to investigate his father’s murder and stays after Hawaii’s governor persuades him to head up the new team: his rules, her backing, no red tape and full blanket immunity to hunt down the biggest “game” in town. Joining McGarrett is Detective Danny “Danno” Williams, a newly relocated ex-New Jersey cop who prefers skyscrapers to the coastline but is committed to keeping the Islands safe for his 8-year-old daughter; and Chin Ho Kelly, an ex-Honolulu Police Detective wrongly accused of corruption and relegated to a federal security patrol, who is also a former protégé of McGarrett’s father. Chin’s cousin, Kono, is a beautiful and fearless native, fresh out of the academy and eager to establish herself among the department’s elite. McGarrett vows to bring closure to his father’s case while the state’s brash new FIVE-0 unit, who may spar and jest among themselves, is determined to eliminate the seedy elements from the 50th state.
