Story:

Centers on the story of three brothers - Forrest (Tom Hardy), Howard and Jack (Shia LaBeouf) in order of age and toughness - running a bootlegging gang during 1930’s Prohibition whose moonshine dynasty in Franklin County, Virginia is threatened by the authorities wanting a cut. The tale is told through the eyes of the youngest brother Jack, who doesn’t really have the stomach for violence or taste for madness and drink that his wild older brothers do. In many ways, it’s the tale of the younger Bondurant building character and becoming a man, but not necessarily by following in his brother’s footsteps. Forrest is described as a giant, Howard a drunk and Jack as the runt of the trio.

HBO open casting call for season 2 of the Golden Globe winning 'Boardwalk Empire'

The extras casting director for HBO's high budget hit series "Boardwalk Empire" is holding an open casting call for both union and non-union extras to work on the show during the upcoming second season.

The costs for the entire first season of "Boardwalk Empire" have been estimated to range upwards of $65 million. In addition to interior shooting at Steiner Studios, the largest film studio on the East Coast, a 300-foot period-perfect rendition of Atlantic City in the early 1920s has been recreated on a vacant lot in the Greenpoint district of Brooklyn, New York.

Martin Scorsese serves as one of the executive producers on "Boardwalk Empire," along with Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, and Tim Van Patten. Scorsese also directed the 80-minute pilot episode, and has stated that he would like to direct addition episodes in the future.

Story:

Cyrano De Bergerac meets Cinderella. Over-worked, harried and terrified of being put back in foster care, 17 year old Katie Gibbs (Lucy Hale) does her stepmother, Gail Van Ravensway, and step-siblings' bidding without complaining. Vocally gifted, Katie feels particularly upset when forced to lay down singing tracks so that her very-untalented stepsister, Bev Van Ravensway, can hopefully win a recording contract from Massive Records - who's company President, Harvey Morgan, is scouting for new talent at a spectacular Bollywood-themed talent showcase for the Performing Arts Department at a prestigious private school.
