The Seventh Son


"Get ready for the next great fantasy novel series adaptation and get ready for one of the most incredible casting opportunities of the decade. The Seventh Son, the first of several planned film versions of the immensely popular ‘The Wardstone Chronicles’ book collection, is set to begin filming soon and auditions are being organized now for a number of exciting roles in what could be the next Harry Potter, The Hunger Games or Twilight sensation. Submissions from actors of all ages are being accepted today for this sure to be blockbuster fantasy film event.
The Seventh Son will tell the beginning chronicles of John Gregory, the seventh son of a seventh son who is tasked with being a spook – a soldier/hunter traveling the country protecting citizens from witches, ghouls and all things that lurk in ‘The Dark”. Gregory is not a young man however and for years he has been searching for a young man brave and skilled enough to learn and take over his duties. Many have tried and failed and now his and the country’s last hope lies in the hands of an unassuming farmers son named Thomas Ward. Will Ward have what it takes to survive the training and the unspeakable creatures of the night that hunt the people of his country? Millions of the novels fans and moviegoers will be filling movie theaters around the world to find out. The Seventh Son has thus far cast an amazing principal cast that includes the fierce abilities of Academy Award Winner Jeff Bridges (True Grit, Iron Man), Oscar Nominee Julianne Moore (Far from Heaven,  The Lost World: Jurassic Park), Oscar Nominee Djimon Hounsou (Amistad, Gladiator), Kit Harington (Game of Thrones, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D) and Alicia Vikander (Anna Karenina, The Crown Jewels) and there are still several exciting roles of all sizes to be cast.
This is the first adaptation to come from the wildly popular Wardstone Chronicles series that has a planned total of 11 fantastic novels. With massive success expected for The Seventh Son, landing a role in this production could mean a spot for a group of aspiring performers for many films to come. Casting calls like this simply do not come around everyday so act today.

Hello people I am looking for a Woman in her later years to star in a music video for a production I am doing this Saturday.

We have filmed the part of the woman as a young girl already so a certain look is needed but any offers of help would be appreciated.
Thanks Michael Titter

How To Catch a Monster

"Marc Platt Productions and Phantasma Films in association with Bold Films are in pre-production on the feature film "How To Catch a Monster" written and directed by Ryan Gosling. The casting director is conducting and online open casting call searching for starring and co-starring roles in the film. Shooting will take place in the Detroit, Michigan area beginning in May, 2013. They are currently looking for a boy who looks between 3-6 years of age and a male who is over 18 and appears to be between 17-19 years of age. Additional roles will be cast through open casting calls.

The film tells the tale of a single mother named Billy, and her two sons Bones and Frankie. Bones is an introspective loner teen with an active imagination, and while his challenging home life has toughened him, he still clings to childhood fantasies. Frankie is a wild-like little boy who is constantly getting into trouble for trying to escape his school and house. When Bones happens upon a secret road leading to an underwater town, he and his mother must dive deep into the mystery of a macabre and dark fantasy underworld, if their family is to survive. Starring as Billy is three-time Primetime Emmy nominee Christina Hendricks, who is probably best known for her role as Joan Harris on the hit AMC series "Mad Men".

Run

On October 28, I'll be filming a pivotal scene for my latest short film, Run, along Fraser Ave at Kings Park. The film is about a game show where contestants are forced to escape from their own assassination by trained killers called the Death Squad, and this is a call for extras to play the Death Squad members. The recommended age group is the 20's, and the costume needed is theatre blacks (basically entirely black but comfortable clothes). 

It isn't paid unfortunately, but food and refreshments will be available on set.
If you're interested, please let me know via comments or email at josiahjohn@msn.com, or email my producer, Brandon Bonasera at brandonbonasera@hotmail.com. :)
