Casting for major feature film 'Jupiter Ascending' starring Mila Kunis
"Jupiter Ascending" will film in Chicago and London.
AB Media Publishing, LLC
Warner Bros. Pictures in association with Circle of Confusion Productions and Rozar Pictures will begin shooting the sci-fi action 3D feature film "Jupiter Ascending" in April, 2013. Auditions are taking place in Los Angeles for the film's lead roles, with addition casting to take place in Chicago where shooting will take place. The background extras, stand-ins, and photo-doubles will be hired in Chicago throughout the duration of the shoot. Registration for locals can be done online. "Jupiter Ascending" is to be the first film in a trilogy.
"Jupiter Ascending" tells the story of an unlikely heroine: A recent Russian immigrant who is busily scrubbing toilets for a living. Unbeknownst to her, she actually possesses the same perfect genetic makeup as the Queen of the Universe and is therefore a threat to her otherwise immortal rule. A bounty hunter of the evolved-being type is dispatched to dispose of the Cleaning Lady, but, they fall in love. And for having fallen for his target his employers take a-less-than-enlightened-being reaction to his decision to protect rather than kill her.
Starring in "Jupiter Ascending" is Golden Globe Award nominee Mila Kunis in the title role of Jupiter, the Russian immigrant cleaning lady. Kunis garnered critical acclaim for her role of Lily in "Black Swan", and has been nominated for fourteen Teen Choice Awards, three Peoples Choice Awards, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards among many others. The red-hot Channing Tatum is playing the role of bounty hunter Django Wise, who falls in Love with Kunis. Tatum has a slate of five films that have been completed and are awaiting release. English actor Eddie Redmayne has also been cast in an undisclosed role.
The multiple award winning brother-and-sister filmmaking team of Lana and Andy Wachowski will direct from a screenplay that the two wrote themselves. The Wachowski's came into major prominence in Hollywood when they wrote and directed the blockbuster hit feature film "The Matrix," and subsequently its two sequels "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Matrix Revolutions". Before working in the film industry, the Wachowskis wrote comic books for Marvel Comics' Razorline. In addition to directing "Jupiter Ascending," the Wachowskis will also produce with previous collaborator Roberto Malerba.

Auditions and casting calls for feature film 'Army Bratz' lead and supporting roles
"Army Bratz" will shoot in Louisiana beginning April, 2013.
AB Media Publishing, LLC
Trivision Pictures in association with Entertainment 7 and Empire Film Group are in pre-production on the comedy feature film "Army Bratz". The casting director in Los Angeles is auditioning talent for the movie's starring and co-starring roles. Additional casting for supporting roles will take place in Los Angeles, and in Louisiana where shooting is scheduled to begin in April, 2013. The stand-in and extras will all be cast in Louisiana closer to the start of filming.
"Army Bratz" centers on well-meaning airhead cousins Heather and Sydney, who unwittingly join the Army, thinking that they've signed on for a trip around the world. Horrified to learn that they're in the Army, both easily excel at basic training (thanks to all those workouts at the gym). Initially alienated by their fellow recruits, they can't help but feel sorry for some of the less skillful soldiers and work hard to make sure everyone looks good. In the meantime, they unwittingly manage to get a top terrorist to spill the beans, only be given a top-secret mission in Afghanistan where the two are expected to infiltrate the compound of the Sultan who will be hosting a group of top-level terrorists, including the much-sought-after Two of Clubs. Despite some near-misses, the girls' charming cluelessness ultimately proves a boon to the entire nation.
Starring in "Army Bratz" is the exquisitely beautiful and remarkably talented actress Jessica Barth in one of the lead roles of Heather. Barth began her professional acting career with a bit part in a B-movie called "Got Papers?". She worked steadily over the course of the next ten years with small roles on shows such as "Days of Our Lives," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Cougar Town," "Parks and Recreation," and voice-over work on "Family Guy". Her breakout role came recently in Universal Pictures "Ted" playing the co-starring role of "Tami-Lynn".
Directing "Army Bratz" is Emilio Ferrari from a screenplay written by Matt Berman and Kevin Farley, brother of the late Chris Farley. Ferrari worked as Producer and Second Unit Director on the comedy film "Baby on Board" starring Jerry O'Connell, Heather Graham , and John Corbett. He was producer and director on the upcoming star studded film "Not Another Celebrity Movie". In addition to directing "Army Bratz", Emilio Ferrari will also produce under the banner of his company Entertainment 7. Dean Hamilton will oversee production for Empire Film Group, while Alexander Tabrizi is producing for Trivision Pictures.
