Award winning American indie film screenwriter and director Kelly Reichardt is gearing up to start shooting the thriller film "Night Moves" on October 16, 2012 in Southern Oregon. Casting directors in New York and Los Angeles are auditioning actors for supporting roles, featured roles, and day players. Extras, photo-doubles, and stand-ins will be hired in Oregon during filming, in addition to some speaking roles. There are roles for children, teens, and adults. "Night Moves" will be released in theaters sometime in 2013.

"Night Moves" tells the story of three eco-terrorists who work at an organic farm and collaborate on a plot to blow up a hydroelectric dam. Academy Award nominee Jesse Eisenberg is playing the role of Josh Stamos, the orchestrator of the plan. Golden Globe Award nominee Peter Sarsgaard has been cast as Harmon, the brains behind construction of the bomb from a quarter ton of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Two-time Young Artist Awards winner and Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Dakota Fanning will play the role of financially wealthy Dena Brauer, who finances the plan.

Kelly Reichardt is directing "Night Moves" from a screenplay that she wrote herself. This will be the fourth film in a row that she has made in Oregon. The previous three were a short film called "Old Joy," then the critically acclaimed films "Wendy and Lucy," and "Meek's Cutoff" - both which starred three-time Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams. All three were based on stories by Primetime Emmy Award nominee and Oregon Native Jonathan Raymond. In addition to filmmaking, Reichardt continues to teach at Bard College in New York.

Producing "Night Moves" is Kelly Reichardt's longtime collaborators Anish Savjani, who owns the Texas-based independent film production company Film Science, and Neil Kopp. Savjani and Kopp have produced all of Reichardt's films except for her first, "River of Grass". Academy Award nominee Todd Haynes will executive produce. Haynes is also a Primetime Emmy nominated director, and Kelly Reichardt began her film career on the crew of Haynes's 1991 feature film directorial debut, "Poison".

Acting auditions and extras casting for major feature film 'RoboCop'

This reboot of the popular 1987 film will hit theaters August 9th, 2013.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios in association with Columbia Pictures and Strike Entertainment are in pre-production on the reboot of the 1987 Orion Pictures science fiction action film "RoboCop". Casting for the film's lead roles has been taking place in Los Angeles, and additional casting for supporting and day player roles are being cast in Toronto, Canada where filming is set to begin on September 5, 2012. All of the extras will be hired in Ontario throughout production which is scheduled to continue through January 11, 2013.

An impressive cast has been assembled for the lead roles starting with Stockholm native Joel Kinnaman in the title role of Alex Murphy/RoboCop. Australian actress Abbie Cornish has been cast to play Murphy's wife Ellen; Gary Oldman will play a new character named Norton, who is the scientist that creates Robocop; Samuel L. Jackson has joined the cast as influential television magnate Pat Novak; Marianne Jean-Baptist will play the role of Detroit Police Chief, Karen Dean; Michael Kenneth Williams is playing Murphy's partner with the Detroit Police Department; Jennifer Ehle is cast in a new role of Liz Kline; and Jackie Earle Haley will play Maddox, who gives RoboCop military training. Michael Keaton has joined the cast playing the ultra-wealthy CEO of Omnicorp.

Brazilian filmmaker José Padilha will direct "RoboCop" from a script written by Joshua Zeturner, Nick Schenk, James Vanderbilt. Padilha was known as a documentary film director until he made "The Elite Squad," his first fictional film. It instantly became a commercial and critical success, seen by more than 11 million people in Brazil. Joshua Zetumer wrote the original script for this new version of "RoboCop". He previously did rewrites on "Quantum" of Solace during filming, and his script "The Infiltrator" is set to star Leonardo DiCaprio. "Gran Torino" writer Nick Schenk was brought in to do rewrites on Zetmer's screenplay. And finally Sony hired "The Amazing Spider-Man" scribe James Vanderbilt to do final polishes on the script.

Executive producing "RoboCop" is Primetime Emmy Award nominee Bill Carraro, who recently executive produced the Universal Pictures films "Tower Heist" and "The Wolfman". Carraro was the producer of the Emmy Award winning and Golden Globe Award nominated HBO film "The Tuskegee Airmen," which earned him a Directors Guild of America DGA Award. Marc Abraham and Eric Newman of Strike Entertainment are producing "Robocop". The duo founded the company in 2002 and have produced such films as "The Rundown" starring The Rock and Sean William Scott, "Children of Men" starring Julianne Moore and Clive Owen, and "In Time" starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum will oversee production for MGM.

Dimension Films casting dancers and actors for 'Scary Movie 5' lead roles

"Scary Movie 5" is scheduled to hit theaters January 11, 2013.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Weinstein Company and Dimension Films are now in pre-production on "Scary Movie 5" after a two year wait. The casting directors have sent out casting calls for several lead roles that require dance skills as well as the ability to play comedy in a grounded dramatic style. Other roles for non-dancers of various ages are also being cast. Extras will be hired in Atlanta, where shooting will take place beginning June 15, 2012.

The story in "Scary Movie 5" involves the dance world, with a snooty, aloof, imperious, and oversexed French director of a dance company named Pierre putting on a huge production. Jody, a Caucasian late-20's mother of two and her late-20's African American friend Kendra are both vying for the lead in the production. Jody's extremely controlling former dancer mother is determined that Jody will have the brilliant career that eluded her. The highly skilled mid-30's Diva veteran dancer with the company, Heather Daltry, gets cut from the production and goes berserk.

Keenen Ivory Wayans directed the first two Scary Movie films, Primetime Emmy nominee David Zucker directed the next two films, and now Image Award nominated filmmaker Malcolm Lee is taking over directorial duties for "Scary Movie 5". David Zucker, who also wrote both Scary Movie 3 and 4, will be returning to co-write and produce with Lee. The script is a rewrite of the initial script from Stephen Leff, John Aboud and Michael Colton. Malcolm Lee has directed such films as "Soul Men" starring Samuel L. Jackson and Bernie Mac, "Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins" starring Martin Lawrence and James Earl Jones, and "Undercover Brother" starring Denise Richards and Chris Kattan.

The studio had been very interested in bringing back some of the series’ original cast members, however insiders have said that the film has been completely retooled and will hire a brand new cast. That would not be a surprise considering the casting directors are "seeking a comedic leading lady with the ability to play comedy in a grounded dramatic style". Anna Faris has always been the leading lady, however it has been confirmed that she will not be returning for "Scary Movie 5".

National Talent Search for Paramount Pictures Untitled Feature Film

Cast It Talent is hosting the Official "Untitled Paramount Pictures feature film" online casting call.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Paramount Pictures is conducting a national talent search for co-starring roles an upcoming untitled comedy feature film. Nine roles are up for grabs with ages from 10 - 20 years old. The head of casting for Paramount Pictures is looking for new unknown talent to fill the roles, and no experience is required to be considered. In addition, talent does not have to be represented by a talent agent.

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.
