Paramount Pictures "Untitled Feature Film" Talent Search Details

The following roles are being cast:

[ALISON] Female, 18-20, a pretty, funny, confident girl who thinks she is much more mature than all of the boys she meets, and that's why she's got herself an older DJ boyfriend. Unfortunately for her she's also naive, and her confidence is revealed to be only skin-deep.

[LUCY] Female, 18-20, someone who has been a wallflower most of her life but is just starting to bloom. Although she'll never realize just how beautiful she is, she's starting to think that maybe her time is coming and she's enjoying something of a new found confidence for the first time.

[LISA] Female, 18-20, easy-going to the point of being compliant, Lisa has always gone with the flow and it's served her well. There may come a point though, where the worm turns and when that happens she is not to be messed with.

[JILL] Female, 18-20, a very large girl, with a beautiful face, a great sense of humor, and loads of confidence. She has heard all the jokes about her weight, and is confident and intelligent enough to not worry about them. The role will require stripping to underwear. May possibly have to show her butt.

[MICHELLE] Female, 18-20, the classic attractive girl next door, but this time she's on holiday. She's spent her life so far doing what was expected of her and being sensible, but now she's away on senior trip she doesn't see any reason why she shouldn't let her hair down a bit. Although drinking and falling for a 'bad-boy' is really the extent of it, despite what it looks like to her sweet but irritating ex-boyfriend Matt.

[BEN] Male, 18-20 yrs old, really clever and funny, but can't stop himself sometimes being a pedantic know-it-all, yet he wonders why he's not the popular guy at school. Plenty of get up and go, just sometimes he is heading off a cliff. A virgin at 18.

[MATT] Male, 18-20 yrs old, a funny, hopeless romantic, but one with a hidden explosive temper. Like a lot of teenagers, not malicious but totally oblivious to how his actions might appear to others. Also a virgin. He has had enough chances, he's just blown them. Or not.

[STEVE] Male, 18-20 yrs old, like a stopped clock, he's right twice a day. An optimistic kid with a sunny disposition who lives in and for the moment, mainly because he struggles with concepts like "Past" and "Future". Uncomplicated, something girls seem to find attractive. Tall and lanky, but he can dominate the dance floor!

[JOHNNY] Male, 18-20 yrs old, we all had a friend like Johnny at school, and now we all look back and wonder why we were friends with someone who talked so much BS. A loud mouth who claims success with the ladies, but you never get to meet any of his conquests. Johnny is funny, but fundamentally he is as insecure and screwed up as the rest of them.

Casting calls out for feature film 'Devils's Knot' starring Reese Witherspoon

Casting Calls Auditions Devils's Knot

"Devil's Knot" will begin filming June 25, 2012 in Louisiana.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Dimension Films and The Weinstein Company's true crime drama feature film "Devil's Knot" starring Academy Award winners Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth is currently casting thirteen lead roles, and numerous supporting and day player roles. The movie is based on the events surrounding the sensationalized trial of the West Memphis 3 murders and how the crime impacted the lives of those in the community. Filming begins June 25, 2012 in Louisiana.

A number of documentaries have been based on the West Memphis 3 case, and many celebrities and musicians have held fund raisers in the belief that they are innocent. "Devil's Knot" will have a much different viewpoint than the documentaries, getting out of the courtroom and showing how the murders impacted the lives of those in the community. Reese Witherspoon plays Pamela Hobbs, the mother of one of the victims. Colin Firth will play private investigator Ron Lax, who found the DNA strand that began to suggest Pamela's husband Terry Hobbs might have been involved in the crime.

Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Atom Egoyan will direct "Devil's Knot" from an adapted screenplay written by Paul Harris Boardman and Scott Derrickson, based on the novel of the same name by Mara Leveritt. Egoyan is a Canadian stage director and film director who has been nominated for two Academy Awards - "The Sweet Hereafter" for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. His biggest commercial success is "Chloe" starring Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, and Amanda Seyfried. That film had a limited theatrical release in the U.S. and grossed over $3 million, however it made it's biggest profits from international pre-sales and the DVD/Blu-ray release.

Producing "Devil's Knot" are President and founder of Clear Pictures Entertainment, Elizabeth Fowler; Clark Peterson of Story and Film; President and CEO of Worldview Entertainment, Christopher Woodrow; and producer Richard Saperstein. The executive producers are Worldview Entertainment's Molly Conners; Jason Baldwin and Jessie Miskelly, who are two of the real West Memphis 3; and Holly Ballard, who is a close friend of Jason Baldwin.

"Devil's Knots" will hit theaters in 2013.

Story:

"Devil's Knot" is based on the true story of the West Memphis Three, a trio of men who were tried and convicted as teenagers in 1994 of the 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. The story centers on Pamela Hobbs (Reese Witherspoon), who is the mother of one of the victims, and Ron Lax (Colin Firth), a private investigator working in the Arkansas area that found critical errors in the investigation against the West Memphis Three. He is the man who found the DNA evidence that proved the West Memphis Three were not responsible for the murders, and found the DNA strand in the knots that bound one of the victims that began to suggest Terry Hobbs, Pamela's husband, might have been involved in the crime.

Warner Bros. Pictures has acquired rights to the film "Hidden".
AB Media Publishing, LLC.

Note: For the role of Zoe, the casting directors are now seeking identical twins who are Caucasian females ages 9 - 11 and can play a 7 - 9 year old. This is due to child labor laws that restrict children's working hours. Hiring twins enables the director to swap out the twins playing the same role and film longer shooting days. Non-twins that fit the role can still submit also.

The casting director for the Warner Bros. Pictures elevated horror-thriller feature film "Hidden" is conducting a national talent search to find and unknown girl for the movie's lead role, as well as a young boy for a supporting role. Submissions are being accepted for the young girl role on the film's official casting website, being hosted by Cast It Talent, and are completely free of charge. Mail-in submissions are also being accepted for both roles. SAG-AFTRA talent and non-union talent from any area in the United States will be considered. Filming will begin in Summer, 2012.

Swedish born actor Alexander Skarsgård has signed on to play the father, Ray Hewitt. Skarsgård's star is rapidly rising, his most recent role is in Universal Pictures big-budget feature film "Battleship" starring opposite Liam Neeson and Brooklyn Decker. After production wraps on "Hidden", Skarsgård will executive produce and star in "The Vangaurd," another Warner Bros. Pictures film.

"Hidden" centers on an outgoing, curious, and strong-willed little girl named Zoe, who is trapped in a desperate situation with her parents. Hidden underground for over three-hundred days, Zoe lives in constant fear of the outside and its menacing surface-dwellers discovering her family. With only her beloved doll Olive as a true friend, Zoe feels increasingly trapped by her circumstances, and often finds herself butting heads with her overprotective mother. But when outside forces threaten their safety, Zoe must once again learn to rely on the love and strength of her parents.

The Duffer Brothers, Ross and Matt, will direct "Hidden" from a screenplay based on the 2011 Black List script that they write themselves. North Carolina born and raised, the Duffer's graduated from Chapman University Summa Cum Laude with a degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film Production. They are an extremely talented filmmaker duo, who have written and directed various short horror films including 2005's award winning "We All Fall Down" and "Eater" in 2007.

Producers Roy Lee, John Middleton and Lawrence Grey will produce "Hidden". The trio have partnered in Primal Pictures, a new genre arm of Vertigo Entertainment. The company will share the first look deal that Vertigo has with Warner Bros. Pictures. Richard D. Zanuck will produce under the banner of his production firm, The Zanuck Company.
