Open casting call for the NBC supernatural drama series 'Grimm'

The third season of "Glimm" will premier on Friday October 25, 2013 at 9/8c.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Universal Television and Hazy Mills Productions are getting ready to begin production on the third season of the hit NBC supernatural drama television series "Grimm". The extras casting director has scheduled an open casting call for people who would like to work on the show as fully paid extras and featured background actors. There is no experience required, and all types are needed, ages 18 and over. The series is a single-camera setup that shoots in the Portland, Oregon and surrounding area.

Homicide Detective Nick Burkhardt of the Portland Police Bureau learns he is descended from an elite line of criminal profilers known as "Grimms," charged with keeping balance between humanity and the mythological creatures of the world called Wesen. In season three Nick remains in a zombified state with no quick fix or rescue in sight. Monroe and Rosalee tie the knot while Sergeant Wu sees too much in his first direct encounter with a Wesen and turns a bit psycho. Hank falls deeply for his physical therapist — also a Wesen — and her meddling parents don't like it one bit.

Starring in "Grimm" is David Giuntoli playing the central character Nick Burkhardt; Black Reel Awards nominee Russell Hornsby as Hank Griffin; Reggie Lee portrays Sgt. Wu; Silas Weir Mitchell plays the role of Monroe; Sasha Roiz plays Captain Renard; Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards Bitsie Tulloch plays Juliette Silverton; Bree Turner portrays Rosalee Calvert; and Claire Coffee is Adalind Schade.

Jim Kouf and David Greenwalt are creators and executive producers of "Grimm". Six-time Golden Globe Award nominee Sean Hayes and Todd Milliner executive produce under the banner of their production company Hazy Mills Productions. The two founded Hazy Mills in 2004 to develop and produce projects for various studios, including NBC/Universal, CBS/Paramount, UPN, Bravo, CW, Showtime, SyFy, F/X, FOX and TV-Land. Three-time ALMA Awards nominee Norberto Barba also executive produces.

Open casting call for 'The Garden of Last Days' starring James Franco and Emilia Clarke

IMPORTANT NOTE: ‘Garden Of Last Days’ Scrapped As Director-Star James Franco Exits Two Weeks Before Shooting. THIS OPEN CASTING CALL HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

"The Garden of Last Days" will shoot in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

 Nu Image Films/Millenium Films in association with Rabbit Bandini Productions and Evil Twins are in pre-production on the feature film "The Garden of Last Days" and an open casting call is scheduled for talent who would like to work as actors, dancers, and background performers on the film. All ages and types are needed including kids and all ethnicities. Shooting will be taking place in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area from July 10, 2013 through August 6, 2013. Filming will also take place in New York.

"The Garden of Last Days" is a contemporary thriller set in the seamy underside of American life about three interwoven and ultimately explosive stories: A stripper out of options who brings her 3-year-old daughter to work; an angry, lonely man who gets thrown out of the club; and a foreigner with an endless supply of cash on the brink of committing a terrifying act. The film is based on the bestselling novel by Andre Dubus III, the author of "House of Sand and Fog".

Starring in "The Garden of Last Days" is Academy Award nominee James Franco and Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Emilia Clarke. Franco came into prominence when he played the title role in the 2001 TNT movie "James Dean" for which he won a Golden Globe Award and received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. He was also nominated for two other Golden Globes, one for "127 Hours" and the other for "Pineapple Express". Emilia Clarke is best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the hugely popular HBO series "Game of Thrones". Clarke recently completed the Fox Searchlight Pictures feature film "Dom Hemingway" starring opposite Jude Law.

James Franco will also be directing "The Garden of Last Days" from an adapted screenplay written by Hanna Weg. Other directorial credits for Franco include "The Broken Tower," "As I Lay Dying," "Child of God," "Bukowski" and "Black Dog, Red Dog". Hanna Weg has three other screenplays in the works - Millennium Films' "The Bricklayer" and "Orders to Kill" as well as the true story film "The Beautiful and the Damned".

Empire Awards nominee Gerard Butler and Alan Siegel are producing under the banner of their production company Evil Twins along with Danielle Robinson.

Open casting call in Newburgh, NY for kids 11-16 to star in feature film

An open casting call is set for a film shooting Summer, 2013 in Newburgh, NY.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

The city of Newburgh, New York has sent a message to Hollywood and Tinseltown has responded. The city and surrounding Hudson Valley has seen a record number of films shooting in the area this year, with filmmakers being drawn to the area as a result of Governor Cuomo’s commitment to the industry. An open casting call is scheduled for kids/teen between the ages of 11-16 for lead and co-starring roles. The movie will be shooting in Newburgh in July and August, 2013.

The Hudson Valley proximity to New York City along with the state's 30 percent tax credit has been a very attractive incentive for Hollywood feature film productions to set up shop in the area. In Hudson Valley there is much less traffic for film crews to transport sets and equipment from New York City, than locations such as Brooklyn or Long Island. Being only 60 miles from NYC also makes for an easy commute for actors based in Manhattan.

Newburgh is also home to the state-of-the-art sound stages at Umbra of Newburgh. The studio meets the requirements as a "Qualified Film Production Facility" in New York State, which means films using the facility qualify for the Empire State Film Production Tax Credit program. Umbrah has a 16,000 sq. ft. sound stage, and a second 20,000 sq. ft. sound stage, along with a 6000 sq. ft. scenic/construction area.

To help attract and support Hollywood productions in the area, the Newburgh Film Office was opened on April 5, 2013. Mark Gamma, owner of the Newburgh Actor's Studio, is operating the film office. Gamma has been the go-to guy for film and television productions coming to the area, and he has helped with location scouting, film permits, crew and extras hiring, and coordinating with city officials.

Recent films shot in Newburgh include the Magnolia Pictures feature film "The Brass Teapot" starring BAFTA Award winner Juno Temple and Young Artist Awards nominee Michael Angarano, "Return" starring Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Linda Cardellini and Academy Award nominee Michael Shannon. Portions of Paul Newman's hit "Nobody’s Fool" were filmed in Newburgh in 1993. Other Hudson Valley projects in various stages of production include "Why Now?!" starring Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei and two-time Screen Actors Guild nominee Sam Rockwell; "7 Years, 3 Days" starring Young Artist Awards winner Emma Roberts; and "Back Roads" starring BAFTA Awards winner Kristen Stewart.

Newburgh Open Casting Call Details

The following roles are being cast locally for a feature film that will shoot in Newburg, NY in July and August, 2013:

[CLARK] - 11-14 yrs. to play 12 years old. Biracial. (Caucasian/African-American).
Intelligent, sophisticated, cultured, and quiet, Clark’s idea of fun is reading, listening to jazz and hanging out with his posse of NYC friends and his parents, an artist and writer. When his family moves from NYC to Idaho, he suddenly feels pressured to become someone he isn’t. (LEAD)

[AMBROSIA] – 11-14 yrs. to play 12 yrs. old. Caucasian. Acts older and experienced than she actually is - a sheltered girl from a small town. Confident, powerful and a leader, she has never met someone from NYC before. Best friends with Julie.

[JULIE] – 11-14 yrs. to play 12 yrs. old. Caucasian. Smart but impressionable, Julie is Ambrosia's sidekick. Innocent and naïve, she is actually a good person when not being intimidated by Ambrosia. She has never met someone from NYC before. Friends with Ambrosia.

[WILLIAM] - 14-16 yrs. to play 15 yrs. old. African-American. Clark’s cousin, he comes to visit Clark when Clark moves to Idaho. More mature and experienced than Clark – but that is not saying much. He's a good student and is trying to be a leader to his younger cousin, Clark. Goes by the nickname Frosty.

NOTE: This an open casting call. Talent can just show up and meet the casting team and director. But the roles are specific. For kids and teens. No advance sides (audition script). It will be a "cold read". For local talent only.
