Amber is fatally electrocuted, and she's charged with helping the most unpopular girl in school, a music nerd named Lisa, become prom queen in order to enter through the pearly gates of heaven. But when Amber's makeover of Lisa becomes far more than adequate, Lisa ends up dumping her old true friends in favor of the in-crowd and she becomes self-absorbed in her new found popularity.

The Ladder Program is an intensive internship experience that combines working in the real world of entertainment with an academic framework that teaches the skills needed to have a future career in entertainment.

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 series was adapted by Emmy Award-winning screenwriter and producer Terence Winter of "The Sopranos" from a chapter in Nelson Johnson's book, "Boardwalk Empire: The Birth, High Times, and Corruption of Atlantic City".
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.
