CBS Films casting for 'Seven Psychopaths' starring Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken

Filming on "Seven Psychopaths" starts November, 2011 in Los Angeles.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Blueprint Pictures has partnered with CBS Film to produce the comedy feature film "Seven Psychopaths". Shooting is set to begin November, 2011 in Los Angeles and the casting directors are auditioning actors for supporting and day player roles. The extras, stand-ins and photo-doubles for the film's stars will be hired in Los Angeles closer to the start of shooting.

"Seven Psychopaths" stars Golden Globe winner Colin Farrell as a screenwriter researching about psychopaths. Academy Award winner Christopher Walken and ten-time film festival award winner Sam Rockwell star as Colin's dognapping friends. Academy Award nominated Mickey Rourke plays a gangster who's beloved Shih Tzu goes missing.

Academy Award winner Martin McDonagh will direct "Seven Psychopaths" from a screenplay that he wrote himself. The film reunites McDonagh with Colin Farrell, as McDonagh directed Farrell in the Focus Features film "In Bruges" which received very positive critical reviews. That film earned McDonagh an Oscar nomination for Best Writing - Original Screenplay, and earned Colin Farrell a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical.

CBS Films successfully negotiated to co-finance "Seven Psychopaths" and will distribute the film in the United States. CBS Films is a film production company founded in 2007, a feature film division of CBS Corporation. Executive Vice President Scott Shooman will oversee production for CBS Films. Graham Broadbent and Peter Czernin will produce for Blueprint Pictures, and Tessa Ross will executive produce for Film4. Meghan Ellison will produce for her company Annapurna Productions. Ellison is the daughter of Oracle founder Larry Ellison and sister of Paramount-based financier-producer David Ellison.

Casting calls for 'The Frozen Ground' starring Nicolas Cage, John Cusack, and Vanessa Hudgens

"The Frozen Ground" will be hiring speaking roles and hundreds of extras in Alaska.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

The feature film "The Frozen Ground" will begin shooting in Anchorage, Alaska on October 17, 2011. The casting director is hiring as many as 45 Alaska actors for speaking roles, as well as several hundred background extras. They are especially seeking state troopers and members of the police department who are interested in acting and extras roles. The film's main starring roles are being cast out of Los Angeles.

Written by New Zealander Scott Walker, who will also make his directing debut, the film is based on the true story of Alaska's most notorious serial predator, Robert "butcher baker" Hansen, who abducted some two dozen women and flew them into the Alaskan wilderness where he released and then hunted them. John Cusack plays the role of Robert Hanson, Nicolas Cage plays the State Trooper who hunts Hanson, and Vanessa Hudgens plays a victim of Hanson's who survives and helps bring him to justice.

Brandt Andersen will executive produce with a $27 million budget for Emmett/Furla Films while George Furla and Randall Emmett will produce for the company. Jane Fleming and Mark Ordesky will produce for Amber Entertainment. Curtis "50 cent" Jackson has come onboard to play a substantial role as a 1980s-era pimp, and will also executive produce the film with Envision.
