Paramount Vantage and Gran Via Productions are in pre-production on a David Chase feature film and will be holding an open casting call on Saturday, May 8, 2010. David Chase is known for being the Creator/Executive Producer/Chief Writer of The Sopranos, and he will serve as Producer/Writer/Director of this film. Mark Johnson of Gran Via Productions will co-produce.
Paramount Vantage is the specialty film division of Paramount Pictures, charged with producing, purchasing, distributing and marketing films that are generally those with a more "art house" feel than films made and distributed by its parent company. One recent success of Paramount Vantage was "No Country for Old Men" which won an Academy Award for Best Picture at the 80th Academy Awards. Mark Johnson's Gran Via has produced such films as Dragonfly, The Notebook, and My Sister's Keeper.
Here is what the casting director, Ellen Chenoweth, is seeking:
Males between the ages of 18 and 25.
DOUGLAS: A high school student of Italian heritage. Douglas isn't athletic, very much in the background at school. He is heavily influenced by the blues and by bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Yardbirds. He becomes the drummer and back up vocalist of his buddy's band.
WELLS: An artistic, upper class guitar player for the band. Wells is probably the most intelligent of the group.
RONNY: Much different from Douglas, Ronny is very athletic, unpredictable and the "King Rocker" in his small town. He is the lead singer of their band.
Open Call Details
Prior acting experience is welcome, but not required. Musical experience is a plus. Those interested in auditioning should bring ID and a recent photo (and resume if available) with contact information (name, phone number, email, etc.) written on the back. The photo will not be returned.
Filming will begin late summer or early Fall 2010.

Open Casting Call for feature film 'Little Red Wagon' in Charleston, SC
The casting directors for the feature film 'Little Red Wagon' are holding an open casting call in Charleston, SC for starring, co-staring, and supporting roles. The film has some interesting ties to The Twilight Saga films New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn.
The films' production company has a Talent Management division that represents hundreds of successful actors, writers, and directors, including several Academy Award and Emmy nominees and winners, as well as Pulitzer Prize winners. Director clients include The Twilight Saga: Eclipse director David Slade and Breaking Dawn front runner Bill Condon.
Executive producer is Barbara Kelly, who was the production manager on both 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' and 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'. “We have a number of speaking roles for Little Red Wagon and are looking for talented actors. You don’t need an agent,” said Kelly. She said local actors close to Charleston are preferred and that extra roles are not being cast at this time.
The film tells the true story of Zach Bonner. When Zach was seven years old, he founded an organization to aid the 1.3 million homeless children in the United States.
Principal photography begins May 24, 2010 and runs through July 5, 2010.
