Open casting call for feature film 'Gone' starring Amanda Seyfried

Lakeshore Entertainment and Summit Entertainment are in production on the upcoming feature film "Gone", and there will be an open casting call for people interested in working as background performers, stand ins, and photo doubles on the movie. A stand in/photo double for Amanda Seyfried will be hired to work for the entire duration of filming.

The film stars Amanda Seyfried, Emily Wickersham (I Am Number Four), Wes Bentley (Jonah Hex), and Jennifer Carpenter (The Exorcism of Emily Rose). Seyfried's career is in high gear, as she has two high profile films being released in 2011 - Catherine Hardwicke‘s fairy tale "Red Riding Hood" and Andrew Niccol‘s sci-fi thriller "Now".

Brazilian filmmaker Heitor Dhalia will make his English-language directorial debut with "Gone". Dhalia will direct from a screenplay written by Allison Burnett. Although Allison is a talented writer of films, novels, short fiction and essays, he has also worked as a producer and director in the past.

Lakeshore Entertainment's Gary Lucchesi and Tom Rosenberg will produce along with Sidney Kimmel of Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, Chris Salvaterra, and Dan Abrams. Summit Entertainment has acquired domestic distribution rights to the project.

Principal Photography on "Gone" begins in Portland, Oregon on April 27, 2011 and will continue through June 30, 2011.

Open casting calls for "Wrath of the Titans" in Tenerife, Canary Islands

Warner Bros. second film in the "Clash of the Titans" trilogy, currently titled "Wrath of the Titans", is in production and open casting calls will be held in the Canaries for local for extras to take part in the film. All ages are being sought including kids.

Morgan Creek Productions launches massive talent search for feature film 'Tupac'

A massive talent search is underway to hopefully find a new unknown actor to play the lead role of Tupac Shakur in the upcoming feature film titled "Tupac". Tupac Shakur was the rapper, actor, record producer, poet, screenwriter and activist who was gunned down and assassinated the night of September 7, 1996 in Las Vegas, NV.

David and James Robinson of Morgan Creek Productions will executive produce along with Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mother. She will executive produce a film in 2012 that Tupac Shakur wrote prior to his death titled "Live 2 Tell". David Robinson said that they are looking for someone with the right mix of raw charm and charisma for the role, and they are we’re more concerned about finding someone with the ability to give their entire heart into the performance more than just looks and personality.

Black Reel Award winning Antoine Fuqua will direct "Tupac" from a script written by Academy Award nominated writers Stephen J. Rivele and Chris Wilkinson. Rivele and Wilkinson wrote the Oscar nominated biopic feature film "Ali" that starred Will Smith.

The film's studios, production companies, and casting directors have set up the following website for people who would like to audition for the role of Tupac Shakur:

InSearchofTupac.com

The casting call allows individuals who epitomize and illuminate the persona of Tupac to upload their video audition. Entrants are encouraged to check the website often, as important announcements and additional casting opportunities will be published during the course of the audition process. In addition to taking auditions, the site will also be updated with rare video footage and interviews with the late rapper.

Filming on "Tupac" will take place in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Las Vegas beginning late Spring/early Summer 2011 for a 2013 release. Universal Pictures will distribute the film.

Talent can also submit a photo and resume with a link to a demo video, such as on YouTube or Vimeo via the casting office address below. The demo videos should include a 24 line scene downloaded from InSearchofTupac.com and a one minute Tupac song performance. The deadline to submit is April 30, 2011.

Story:

The rise and fall of Tupac Shakur is chronicled, from his days attending the Baltimore School of the Arts as a teenager, to his decision to leave his mother’s dead-end life behind and embrace the Thug Life in California, to his wild success as a rapper and his dangerous war against the East Coast scene. A true poet who was waylaid by fame’s trappings, his earliest ambition was to change the world and make a difference in people’s lives, and before his tragic murder in Las Vegas in 1996, that’s exactly what 2Pac did.

Major feature film 'Playing the Field' open casting call for both kids and adults

Italian filmmaker Gabriele Muccino is set to direct the Indy comedy film "Playing the Field," starring Gerard Butler, Uma Thurman, Jessica Biel, and newcomer Noah Lomax. An open casting call is scheduled in Shreveport, Louisiana where filming will take place. The starring roles are being cast out of Los Angeles.

Gabriele Muccino has had success directing American films in the past with the Will Smith starring vehicles "Seven Pounds," and "The Pursuit of Happyness," as well as "The Last Kiss" which was a remake of his 2001 Italian film version of the same name.

Nu Image Films' Avi Lerner and Danny Dimport will executive produce, while Gerard Butler and Alan Siegel will produce under the banner of their production company Evil Twins Productions. Misher Films' Kevin Misher will also co-produce.

Writer Robbie Fox has the final draft of the script in place and ready to go before cameras in late March 2011. Fox's previous screenplay credits are "So I Married an Axe Murderer," "In the Army Now," and "Shooting Elizabeth". In addition to listed credits, Fox did uncredited script polishes for various TV and movies including "My Girl" with Dan Aykroyd and Macaulay Culkin, and Disney's animated "Runaway Brain".

"Playing the Field was originally written as a baseball story titled "Confessions of a Little League Coach," but producers decided to have Robbie Fox rewrite the script as a soccer themed film to give it a much more international appeal, thus selling more box office tickets and higher DVD sales. Besides, the hot-to-trot soccer mom sub-plot works much better than a little-league baseball moms plot would have!

Principal photography begins on March 28, 2011 in Shreveport, Louisiana and will continue through May 20, 2011. Extras will be cast throughout filming.
