One morning when he wakes up disoriented in a wrecked hotel room amidst several near-naked women he’s never seen before, he knows one thing: it’s happening again. Every night at the same hour, something inside Jason changes, leaving him almost unrecognizable – seductive, devious, borderline sociopathic. This new man is his dangerous alternate personality who goes by the name of "Ian Price". For years he’s battled Ian, keeping him in check with a powerful experimental sedative. But now his – their – body has developed a resistance to the serum, setting Ian free once again. And to make matters worse, after being suppressed for so long, Ian’s hell-bent on taking revenge on his oppressor. With everyone Jason cares about at risk – patients, friends, coworkers and even the woman he loves – he’s got to stop Ian once and for all. Will they find some common ground, or will they bring each other down? Hell hath no fury like an alter ego scorned.

Open casting call for Universal Pictures film 'Lone Survivor' starring Mark Wahlberg

Universal Pictures Lone Survivor Open Casting Call

Filming on "Lone Survivor" begins September 18, 2012 in New Mexico.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Film 44 in association with Weed Road Pictures and Spikings Entertainment are in production on the major feature film "Lone Survivor" based on true events of Operation Red Wings, a joint military operation that took place in the Pech District of Afghanistan's Kunar Province in Late June through Mid-July 2005. There will be an open casting call in New Mexico for men, women, and children who are interested in working as fully paid extras on the film. Shooting starts on September 18, 2012 in the Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico areas and will continue through mid-November. Over 1,400 extras in New Mexico will be used in the film, in addition to several dozen local actors.

Operation Redwing (as it is called in the book and movie) was aimed at capturing or killing Ahmad Shah, a Taliban leader in Kunar province whose attacks had been taking a heavy toll on Marines operating in eastern Afghanistan. The four Navy SEALs — Lt. Michael Murphy, Sonar Technician 2nd Class Matthew Axelson, Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Danny Dietz and Petty Officer Second Class Marcus Luttrell — were the leading edge of the operation, charged with locating Shah and his forces. Luttrell was the only one of the four men on the mission to survive after a violent clash with dozens of Taliban fighters.

"Lone Survivor" stars two-time Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg as Petty Officer Second Class Marcus Luttrell; X-Men Origins: Wolverine actor Taylor Kitsch portrays Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy; Emile Hirsch, who has recently wrapped filming on "The Motel Life" starring alongside Dakota Fanning and Stephen Dorff, has been cast as Gunner’s Mate 2nd Class Danny Dietz; Screen Actors Guild Award winner Ben Foster plays Sonar Technician 2nd Class Matthew Axelson; and The Hunger Games star Alexander Ludwig plays Navy Seal Shane Patton.

Two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominated filmmaker Peter Berg is directing "Lone Survivor" from an adapted screenplay that he wrote himself, based on the non-fiction book "Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of Seal Team 10" written by Marcus Luttrell with assistance from ghostwriter Patrick Robinson. Peter Berg is enjoying an amazing career as actor, writer, producer, and director that has spanned over 24 years. He recently directed the 2012 science-fiction/action film "Battleship," is developing a sequel to "Hancock", and a live-action version of the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars.

In addition to writing and directing "Lone Survivor," Peter Berg is also executive producing under the banner of his production company Film 44, along with his partner Sarah Aubrey. Randall Emmett and George Furla of Emmett/Furla Films will also executive produce. Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster are executive producing for Weed Road Pictures. Academy Award winner Barry Spikings of Spikings Entertainment is serving as the film's producer. Universal Pictures will distribute.

Story:

Four US Navy SEALS departed one clear night in early July 2005 for the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border for a reconnaissance mission. Their task was to document the activity of an al Qaeda leader rumored to be very close to Bin Laden with a small army in a Taliban stronghold. Five days later, only one of those Navy SEALS made it out alive. This is the story of the only survivor of Operation Redwing, SEAL fire team leader Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg), and the extraordinary firefight that led to the largest loss of life in American Navy SEAL history. His squadmates fought valiantly beside him until he was the only one left alive, blasted by an RPG into a place where his pursuers could not find him. Over the next four days, terribly injured and presumed dead, Luttrell crawled for miles through the mountains and was taken in by sympathetic villagers who risked their lives to keep him safe from surrounding Taliban warriors.

Story:

Season two of "American Horror Story" will center around a 1960's east coast mental asylum, and will not be another ghost story. It is said that the story will be very equally terrifying, but with very different vibe. Just as the house in the first season had a paramagnetic grip like a battery, with negative energy that feeds on trauma and draws things to it, season two involves the energy that's often found in prisons or asylums. Season two of "American Horror Story" is set on the East Coast at an institution for the criminally insane that is run by Jessica Lange's character.

Filming will take place through the end of September, 2012.

"The Internship" features an impressive cast that includes actor, screenwriter and producer Vince Vaughn as Joe McMahon, and Academy Award nominee Owen Wilson as Nick Campbell; two-time Golden Globe nominee Rose Byrne is playing a high-ranking executive who starts a relationship with Wilson’s character; JoAnna Garcia Swisher co-stars as Vaughn’s love interest; Max Minghella portrays a ruthlessly competitive intern who plans to sabotage Vaughn and Wilson in order to land a coveted full-time job.

Canadian-American filmmaker Shawn Levy is directing "The Internship" from a screenplay written by Vince Vaughn and Jared Stern. Levy has directed such hit films as "Big Fat Liar," "Just Married," "Cheaper by the Dozen," "The Pink Panther," "Night at the Museum," "Date Night," and the Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures sci-fi action film "Real Steel". Levy's films have grossed over $2 billion dollars at the box office, making him one of the most commercially successful filmmakers ever. Levy, Vaughn and Stern recently collaborated on the Twentieth Century Fox comedy feature film "The Watch" starring Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, and Vince Vaughn. Filming on that film also took place in Atlanta.

Shawn Levy is producing "The Internship" under the banner of his production company, 21 Laps Entertainment. Vince Vaughn is producing for his company, Wild West Picture Show Productions.

Open extras casting call for 'Iron Man 3' in Kenansville, North Carolina

Kenansville Iron Man 3 Casting Call

"Iron Man 3" is scheduled to hit theaters on May 3, 2013.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Extras casting calls and registration is underway for the Marvel Studios superhero feature film "Iron Man 3", which will be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. Shooting will take place in the Wilmington and Kenansville, North Carolina areas and other locations in North Carolina from May 21, 2012 through January, 2013. The film's main stars are being cast out of Los Angeles, however many smaller and day player acting roles are being cast in North Carolina. All of the extras, photo-doubles and stand-ins for the films stars will be cast in North Carolina. An open extras casting call will take place on May 10, 2012 in Kenansville, North Carolina.

Multi talented actor, screenwriter and film director Shane Black has taken over the directing duties from Jon Favreau, who directed the first two films in the "Iron Man" series. Black also is writing the screenplay for "Iron Man 3". Black has said not to expect "Iron Man 3" to feature any other heroes from Marvel's universe saying that after "The Avengers" the plan is to go back to self-contained single-character stories. Shane Black has directed Robert Downey Jr. before - in Black's last feature film directing job "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" in 2005.

Louis D'Esposito will executive produce for Marvel Studios. Former president and chairman of Marvel Comics, Stan Lee, will also executive produce along with Golden Globe Award nominated independent producer Charles Newirth. Avi Arad will produce the film with Kevin Feige. Arad has served as producer or executive producer on every Marvel film since 1998's Blade. He is former CEO and the founder of Marvel Studios.

North Carolina has become a hotbed of filming major motion pictures as well as smaller independent films, thanks to the state's generous 25% production credit. Although Marvel reportedly considered shooting "Iron Man 3" at Marvel Studios in California, or in New Mexico - North Carolina's EUE/Screen Gems Studios sealed the deal. The Studio boasts 10 sound stages and a large local crew base with experience that can handle up to five productions simultaneously. Films recently shot in North Carolina include "The Hunger Games," "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," "The Conjuring" starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, "The Roommate" starring Leighton Meester, and New Line Cinema's "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island".
