The candidates MUST look exactly like these young versions of Adam Sandler. Additional co-starring and supporting roles are also available.
The films stars include Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, James Caan, Vanilla Ice and Leighton Meester. The picture is about a cantankerous father who moves in with his son and his son's gold-digger fiancee just before the son is to get married. The father and fiancee quickly become terribly embroiled in conflict
Sean Anders and John Morris are directing from a script originally written by TV comedy writer David Caspe, who recently signed a two year production deal with Sony Pictures Television. Caspe is creator/head writer on the upcoming Sony Pictures Television TV series "Happy Endings," which premiers April 13, 2011 on ABC. "Wanderlust" writers David Wain and Ken Marino were brought in to rewrite the "I Hate You, Dad" script.
Adam Sandler, Heather Parry, and Jack Giarraputo will produce under the banner of their company Happy Madison Productions. The company's production office is located in the Judy Garland building on the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Culver City, CA, Barry Bernardi and director John Morris will executive produce.
Here is what the casting directors are seeking:
Young Donny #1: Adam Sandler at age 13 yrs old. Must be 13-14 years old. Young Adam tries to ask a girl he likes to a Springsteen concert and besides getting turned down, gets beaten up. That's when his teacher, Miss McGarricle, comes to his aid and he asks her out instead. The scene ends with young Donny having an amazing date and getting to have sex with his teacher.
Young Donny #2: Adam Sandler at 18 yrs old. Older and now a father (not a very good one either), Donny is forced to have to take on the role of true fatherhood when his father gets fed up and Leaves him to fend for himself.
For both of these roles, they need absolute DEAD-RINGER LOOK ALIKES for Adam Sandler at these ages.

"Wrath of the Titans" Open Casting Call Promo Poster
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.
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.
