'Independence Day 2' casting actors and extras

The feature film Independence Day 2 is now officially in pre-production, and the casting calls and auditions information is now available.

Electric Entertainment and Centropolis Entertainment is set to begin filming on Independence Day 2 on May 1, 2015 in New Mexico. Auditions are taking place in both Los Angeles and Albuquerque for starring and supporting roles. The film's extras and stand-ins will be cast in New Mexico. Crew members can submit resumes by email. All submission information for actors and crew members is posted below. Extras registration is also posted below.

Independence Day Forever takes place twenty years after USAF Captain Steven Hiller and satellite technician David Levinson flew a repaired alien attacker vessel into the mothership and introduced a computer virus, planted a nuclear missile on board, and ultimately allowed for the defeat of the alien invaders. But before the aliens were completely destroyed, they were able to send out a distress call that took 20 years to travel across the vast distance of space to the alien planet. Now, once again traveling through wormholes, the extraterrestrial invaders are back to launch a new second wave of attacks. Although earthlings have spent the last 20 years since the botched invasion using the alien tech for our own advancement, the extraterrestrial invaders are still far more advanced and much better prepared this time around.

Starring in Independence Day Forever is Jessie Usher playing the role of Captain Steven Hiller's step son Dylan Dubrow, who was a small boy in the first film (played by Ross Bagley, who was nominated for a Young Artist Award for the role). Jessie Usher is best known for his role as Cam Calloway on the Starz! television series Survivor's Remorse. Also starring in Independence Day Forever is People's Choice Awards winner Liam Hemsworth. The studio does not wish to release any details of his character at this time. The only other actors cast are Academy Award nominee Jeff Goldblum and Saturn Award nominee Bill Pullman, reprising their roles as David Levinson and Thomas Whitmore (obviously no longer president) respectively.

Saturn Award winner Roland Emmerich will direct Independence Day Forever from an original screenplay written by Carter Blanchard. Electric Entertainment President Dean Devlin will produce along with BMI Film & TV Awards winner Harald Kloser and Roland Emmerich. Roland Emmerich's sister Ute Emmerich will executive produce under the banner of their production company Centropolis Entertainment. Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation will handle theatrical distribution, while DreamWorks Distribution will handle all media. Independence Day Forever is scheduled to be released in theaters on Jun 24, 2016. The original Independence Day film grossed over $817 million at the box office worldwide.

Casting call for indie feature film 'Never Goin Back'

Casting Principals for NEVER GOIN BACK

  • Project Type: Feature Film - Independent (Paid)
  • Company: Hungry Bear Productions
  • Location: Dallas area
  • Shooting Schedule: September 18 - October 5, 2014 16 days; 6 days/week
  • Send resumes to: film@buffalocasting.com
CASTING SEARCH – INDEPENDENT FEATURE FILM – NEVER GOIN BACK

SYNOPSIS – 16 year old BFF’s Jessie and Angela are high school dropouts who just lost their jobs at the local pancake house. In an attempt to get rent money and avoid eviction, they embark on a day of adventure that includes dudes, drugs, booze and an ill advised heist. Just another day in the life of your average 16 year old girl.

Director – Augustine Frizzell
Production – Hungry Bear Productions
Casting Directors – Tisha Blood + Matthew Taylor – Buffalo Casting
Interview Date – Saturday July 26, 2014
Callback Date – Saturday August 2, 2014
Shoot Start Date – September 18- October 5, 2014. 16 day shoot, 6 day weeks. Talent will not work all days, however the leads need to have a pretty clear schedule during this time frame.
Rate – Leads – $100 + 15% agency fee (if applicable), per day.
Status – Non-Union Feature Film
Location – Dallas Area Locations. All talent for local hire.
The actors will be paid a stipend and be given food and credit. The Filmmakers are hoping for a festival premiere/tour and are planning to submit to Sundance & SXSW.
Ideally, all actors will be 18 or over but look/play younger, be legal 18 or be home schooled due to the shooting schedule.

CONTENT – Adult content/situations. No Nudity. Implied Drug Use. Implied Sexual Situations. Strong language. The two leads are 16 year old girls who get into a decent amount of trouble. They do drugs and smoke and there’s a make out scene that implies sex. Note on the content from the director – At the moment, the script contains only boy/girl kissing but I’m in the middle of rewrites and girl/girl kissing may be reintroduced if it’s appropriate. (it was in an earlier draft.)  In all my projects, it’s my goal to include as many demographics as possible regarding race/sex/background and sexual orientation. I feel that these areas are vastly underrepresented in film and I hope, when my story allows, to include them.   If included, it would be in a way that’s honest and emotionally relevant to the characters and story, never gratuitous.

OVERALL – We are not looking for squeaky clean actors – looking for real looking kids that could be from Garland Texas. Acting experience is not required.

JESSE – Lead role
16 yrs old – Caucasian female.
Rough around the edges, maybe even a little grungy. Level headed, balances out the flightiness of her best friend Angela but is still a smart ass. Wants to be responsible but has a hard time making the best decisions. Loves smoking pot, video games and guys.

ANGELA – Lead role
16 yrs old – Caucasian female.
Natural and unglamorous but enjoys looking cute and wearing a little makeup. A big thinker and dreamer with ideas that aren’t always well thought out. Charismatic and very enthusiastic. Loves guys, drugs and being the center of attention.

DUSTIN – Lead role
18-21 yrs old – Caucasian male.
Ex-athlete. Tall, handsome, clean and charismatic. A trouble maker with kind heart, he’s not the brightest guy around but he’s sweet. Jesse’s older brother. Tries to be a thug but he’s not fooling anyone.

RYAN – Lead role
18-21 yrs old – Any ethnicity.
Dustin’s best friend. A little preppy, comes from money but has strict parents whom he rebels against by hanging with wannabe thugs and dealing drugs. A little bratty but also wants to fit in.

BRANDON – Lead role
18-30 yrs old – Caucasian or Hispanic Male.
Overweight, sloppy and unkept. He’s funny and lewd. A Jonah Hill type. Comedic/Character.

All talent must and be legally eligible to work in Dallas, Texas and in the United States.
