Actor and extras casting for supernatural thriller film 'Flight 7500'

Shooting on the supernatural thriller "Flight 7500" will take place in Los Angeles.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

CBS Films in association with Vertigo Entertainment and Ozla Pictures are set begin principal photography on the supernatural thriller film "Flight 7500". The casting directors are auditioning actors for supporting and day player roles, and the extras are being cast throughout filming. There will be many featured background actor roles for airport personnel and passengers, as well as passengers on the plane that the film takes place in. Shooting will take place in Los Angeles beginning October 31, 2011.

Japanese filmmaker Takashi Shimizu will direct "Flight 7500" from a script written based on his own idea. Shimizu is best known for the Ju-on series of horror films, from which he filmed three english speaking versions that were released as "The Grudge," "The Grudge 2," and "The Grudge 3". "The Grudge 4" is in the works for filming in 2012. The film will be a reboot of the series, rather than a direct sequel and is expected to introduce a new storyline. Worldwide box office revenues for the first three "Grudge" films have exceeded $257 million USD.

"The Grudge" producers, Taka Ichise and Roy Lee, are reuniting with director Takashi Shimizu for "Flight 7500". Ichise is a veteran film producer and founder of the Los Angeles-based independent production company OZLA Pictures, Inc. OZLA has produced such films as "American Yakuza", starring Viggo Mortensen, which became a huge video success in the UK and Australia; "No Way Back", starring Russell Crowe; and "Crying Freeman", starring Mark Dacascos, which reached number one at the box office in both France and South Korea. Roy Lee is a Korean American producer who regularly takes well known Asian films and remakes them for American audiences. Examples include "The Ring," "The Grudge" and "The Departed". Lee co-owns his production company, Vertigo Entertainment. Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity 1, 2 & 3) will also produce.

"Flight 7500" stars the incredibly beautiful Amy Smart and handsome Ryan Kwanten as a honeymooning couple on a flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo, Japan. The film is a "claustrophobic" thriller set on a transpacific airliner where the passengers encounter what appears to be a supernatural force. Smart recently wrapped filming on the ABC Family telefilm "12 Dates of Christmas", and Kwanten is a series regular on HBO's "True Blood".

Minors and foreign talent must be legally eligible to work in the state of California and in the United States.

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.
