*** This project has been put on hold ***


Jersey Boys Casting Calls

"Jersey Boys" will film in New York and New Jersey starting January, 2013.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

The powerhouse film production company GK Films is in pre-production on the major feature film "Jersey Boys" based on the hit Broadway musical "Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons". The two-time Primetime Emmy winning casting director for the film is conducting a national talent search, as well as holding open casting calls for the lead roles of Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi. Filming begins in January, 2013 and will take place in New York and New Jersey.

Primetime Emmy nominated filmmaker Jon Favreau will direct Graham King's bigscreen adaption of the Tony Award winning Broadway documentary-style musical. This will be Favreau's first directing job after three straight on-screen acting roles. Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice wrote the book that the play was based on, and three-time Academy Award nominated writer John Logan has written the adapted screenplay. Some of Logan's credits include "Gladiator," "The Aviator," "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," "Rango," and "Hugo".

Academy Award winning executive of GK Films, Graham King, will produce "Jersey Boys" with Tim Headington. Also producing is Jon Favreau. Frankie Valli and fellow The Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio are executive producing. Sony will distribute the film. "Jersey Boys" will use much of the music from the Broadway play, with such songs as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," Oh What a Night," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You".

"Jersey Boys" tells the story of Frankie Vallie and the other members of the pop sensation group The Four Seasons" during their rise to superstardom. The stage musical opened on Broadway in 2005, and has since had a North American National Tour, along with productions in London's West End, Las Vegas, Chicago, Toronto, Melbourne, Sydney, Philadelphia, Auckland and Brisbane. It has held more than 200 performances to date.

Open casting call scheduled for long awaited feature film 'A Night In Old Mexico'

A Night In Old Mexico Skydance Open Casting Call

Filming on 'A Night In Old Mexico' will take place in Austin and Brownsville, TX.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

The independent comedy western film "A Night In Old Mexico" starring Academy Award winner Robert Duvall, is holding an open casting call in Texas for both speaking roles and extras. The project is also using the working title of "Skydance". Shooting will take place in Austin, Texas as well as the Brownsville area, where the open casting call is being held. In addition to actors and extras, Stand-ins and Photo Doubles for lead actors are also needed. Children, teens, adults, and seniors are all needed. Principal photography begins on Tuesday, July 17, 2012. The film tells the story of a cranky Texas rancher who is forced to give up his land and move to a trailer park, and takes a last wild ride with his estranged grandson where both learn life lessons.

Emilio Aragon will direct "A Night In Old Mexico" from a screenplay written by Writers Guild of America WGA Award winner Bill Wittliff. Aragon is president of laSexta, which is a production company and television network in Spain. Sunmin and Ethan Park of Maxmedia will produce "A Night In Old Mexico". Prospect Park Head of Film Rob Carliner will also produce this third Robert Duvall/Prospect Park collaboration. Duvall will produce under the banner of his company, Butcher's Run Films.

"A Night In Old Mexico" writer Bill Wittliff will also serve as one of the film's producers. Wittliff has written such hit screenplays as "The Black Stallion," "The Cowboy Way," "Legends of the Fall," "The Perfect Storm," and the mini-series "Lonesome Dove". He also won a Bronze Wrangler award from the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. In 1995, he won another Bronze Wrangler for Legends of the Fall. Witliff also received Austin Film Festival's Distinguished Screenwriter Award in 1996.

Robert Duvall has been trying to get "A Night In Old Mexico" made into a film since 2004. Bill Wittliff wrote it in the 70's and the script has achieved almost mythic status amongst writers in the entertainment industry. Originally, the plan was to shoot almost exclusively in Mexico, however Duvall was quoted by The Wrap as stating, "you can’t really make this kind of movie about that area near the (U.S./Mexico) border anymore – it’s too dangerous. The problem is, in Texas they’ll give you money if you want to make a movie about religion, or if you want to make Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3. Anything else, they’ve got all that money down there, but they’ll just sit on it." The location managers eventually decided on Texas standing in for Mexico.

Story:

17 year old Rob (John Karna) has a big day ahead of him. Not only does he have his all important Georgetown interview (with big pressure from his parents, both alumni), he's got a long-standing date with his good friend Gabrielle (Katie Findlay) to watch the Scripps Spelling Bee - a date he has to cancel when his long standing crush, the hot, sexy Angela (Carlson Young) asks him to tutor her at home in exchange for sex to help with a test the next day. Unfortunately for Rob, there is no "next day" for him, because in a bizarre "Groundhog's Day" curse, he keeps repeating the same day, over and over, until he finally realizes what it is the Universe wants from him.
