'Ghostbusters' casting for starring and supporting roles

Production will begin soon on the reboot feature film Ghostbusters based on the blockbuster 1984 film, and the casting director is auditioning talent for starring and supporting roles.

Slap Jack Productions and Feigco Entertainment in association with Pascal Pictures and The Montecito Picture Company, will begin shooting the sci-fi-fantasy comedy live-action feature film Ghostbusters on June 8, 2015 in Boston Massachusetts. The Primetime Emmy Award winning casting director is auditioning actors in Los Angeles for lead and supporting roles. Extras will be cast throughout production beginning in June. Shooting will run through the end of August, 2015. Film crew members can submit resumes by email to the production company. Full details below.

Ghostbusters centers on a group of female ghost hunters... Erin, Abby, Jillian, and Patty. Erin Gabler, is an academic on the tenure track at Columbia. Her former colleague and co-author is Abby Bergman, who’s more on the pop parapsychology side of things, and pursues ghosts for a living. Jillian is Abby’s ghost hunting partner. Patty is an MTA employee who comes across the main ghost. The villain will be a convicted murderer, who turns into a ghost after his execution is hit by a supercharged electrical storm. This gives him the power to raise an army of other ghosts, which could be made up of famous villains throughout history.

Starring in Ghostbusters is Academy Award nominee Melissa McCarthy playing the role of Patty; Academy Award nominee Kristen Wiig as Erin Gabler; two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee Kate McKinnon playing ghost hunter Jillian; and WGA Award nominee Leslie Jones in the role of Abby Bergman.

Four-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee Paul Feig will direct Ghostbusters from a screenplay that he wrote with Writers Guild of America WGA Award winner Katie Dippold. Producers are Academy Award nominee Ivan Reitman and Hollywood Film Awards winner Amy Pascal.
Katie Dippold will co-produce. Executive producers are Michele Imperato and Jessie Henderson. Academy Award nominee Dan Aykroyd will also serve as executive producer. The film is slated for a $154 million budget. Ghostbusters is scheduled to hit theaters on Jul 22, 2016.

'Independence Day 2' casting actors and extras

The feature film Independence Day 2 is now officially in pre-production, and the casting calls and auditions information is now available.

Electric Entertainment and Centropolis Entertainment is set to begin filming on Independence Day 2 on May 1, 2015 in New Mexico. Auditions are taking place in both Los Angeles and Albuquerque for starring and supporting roles. The film's extras and stand-ins will be cast in New Mexico. Crew members can submit resumes by email. All submission information for actors and crew members is posted below. Extras registration is also posted below.

Independence Day Forever takes place twenty years after USAF Captain Steven Hiller and satellite technician David Levinson flew a repaired alien attacker vessel into the mothership and introduced a computer virus, planted a nuclear missile on board, and ultimately allowed for the defeat of the alien invaders. But before the aliens were completely destroyed, they were able to send out a distress call that took 20 years to travel across the vast distance of space to the alien planet. Now, once again traveling through wormholes, the extraterrestrial invaders are back to launch a new second wave of attacks. Although earthlings have spent the last 20 years since the botched invasion using the alien tech for our own advancement, the extraterrestrial invaders are still far more advanced and much better prepared this time around.

Starring in Independence Day Forever is Jessie Usher playing the role of Captain Steven Hiller's step son Dylan Dubrow, who was a small boy in the first film (played by Ross Bagley, who was nominated for a Young Artist Award for the role). Jessie Usher is best known for his role as Cam Calloway on the Starz! television series Survivor's Remorse. Also starring in Independence Day Forever is People's Choice Awards winner Liam Hemsworth. The studio does not wish to release any details of his character at this time. The only other actors cast are Academy Award nominee Jeff Goldblum and Saturn Award nominee Bill Pullman, reprising their roles as David Levinson and Thomas Whitmore (obviously no longer president) respectively.

Saturn Award winner Roland Emmerich will direct Independence Day Forever from an original screenplay written by Carter Blanchard. Electric Entertainment President Dean Devlin will produce along with BMI Film & TV Awards winner Harald Kloser and Roland Emmerich. Roland Emmerich's sister Ute Emmerich will executive produce under the banner of their production company Centropolis Entertainment. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation will handle theatrical distribution, while DreamWorks Distribution will handle all media. Independence Day Forever is scheduled to be released in theaters on Jun 24, 2016. The original Independence Day film grossed over $817 million at the box office worldwide.
