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 call for ABC hit show 'Shark Tank' Cycle 2 in Los Angeles
The hit ABC television show "Shark Tank" is conducting a national search to find the next successful and possibly wealthy entrepreneurs, inventors, businesspeople, dreamers, promoters, creators and innovators. In each episode, budding entrepreneurs are given an amazing opportunity to make their dreams come true.
Whether you have just an idea, a start up, or are already up and running successfully but looking to expand, if you feel you have a money-making business or idea and need financial help, then Shark Tank is the show for you. The casting directors are looking for aspiring entrepreneurs who can pitch their breakthrough business ideas, products, properties and services to moguls in hopes of landing investment funds.
If chosen, the Sharks - five self-made, brilliant, but tough investors - could be willing to invest their own personal cash and give you the funds you need to kickstart your idea. But the Sharks aren't just out to invest money. They also have a goal to own a piece of your next big idea. Who are the Sharks? Real estate mogul Barbara Corcoran, infomercial industry pioneer Kevin Harrington, technology innovator Robert Herjavec, fashion icon Daymond John, and financial expert Kevin O'Leary. And in season 2, successful businessman and comedian Jeff Foxworthy will join the panel for 3 episodes.
This is your chance to meet the Shark Tank Casting Teams in person, so come prepared to wow and dazzle them with your product/business/idea. Be advised that security may check your bag and you are responsible for your own parking. They do not validate.

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.

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.

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.
