Steven Spielberg feature film 'Lincoln' seeking extras in Virginia

Disney's Touchstone Pictures will release "Lincoln" in December, 2012

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Note: Have you been waiting to hear back from a Lincoln casting call or submission? Don’t give up yet! There might still be hope.

Today the Virginia Film Office said locals who attended extras casting calls for "Office Seekers" / the Lincoln film may still get a call-back. So don’t cut or trim your beards, aspiring Richmond celebs, Spielberg & Co, are calling actors as needed. The Virginia Film Office advises that everyone should plan on being on stand-by throughout the fall shoot. Filming is scheduled to run through early December. In short, just because you haven't heard back yet, doesn't mean you won't hear back at all.

_________________________________________________________

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg is set to begin production on the highly anticipated major feature film "Lincoln". The extras casting director is seeking adult Caucasian and African American men and women who are located within reasonable driving distance of the Richmond and Petersburg, VA areas to work as extras, photo-doubles, and stand-ins for the film's stars. Shooting begins mid-October, 2011.

Three-time Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg will direct the film from a screenplay written by Academy Award nominated Tony Kushner. The adapted screenplay is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin's bestseller "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln," which follows Lincoln's leadership during the years of the American Civil War. While consulting on a Steven Spielberg project in 1999, Kearns-Goodwin told Spielberg she was planning to write "Team of Rivals," and Spielberg immediately told her he wanted the film rights. DreamWorks finalized the deal way back in 2001 and the film has been in development ever since.

Spielberg stated, "We start shooting in October. Doris Kearns Goodwin's book Team Of Rivals is much too big a book to be a movie, so the Lincoln story only takes place in the last few months of his Presidency and life. I was interested in how he ended the war through all the efforts of his generals...but more importantly how he passed the 13th Amendment into constitutional law. The Emancipation Proclamation was a war powers act and could have been struck down by any court after the war ended...But what permanently ended slavery was the very close vote in the House of Representatives over the 13th Amendment - that story I'm excited to tell".

The "Lincoln" cast includes two-time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, and two-time Academy Award winner Sally Field as Mary Todd Lincoln, Golden Globe nominated Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Robert Todd Lincoln, Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, Academy Award nominated Jackie Earle Haley as Alexander Stephens, and two-time Golden Globe Award nominated Lee Pace as Fernando Wood. Liam Neeson was attached to play the role of Abraham Lincoln from the start, but withdrew from the project in 2010, at which point Daniel Day-Lewis agreed to play the role.

Note: "Lincoln" is also using the working title of "Office Seekers". A working title is the temporary name of a film used during its development. Working titles are used primarily for two reasons - the first being that an official title has not yet been decided upon and the working title is being used as a filler for naming purposes, the second being to intentionally disguise the production of a high profile film. In some cases a working title may ultimately be used as the official title. This "title ruse" is now a very common practice by which these high-profile films or television series is given a fake working title to keep its production a secret, and to prevent price gouging by suppliers, casual theft and undesirable attention.

Here is what the casting director is seeking:

Caucasian and African American Men

• Height: 6’1” and under.
• Weight: 200lbs or less.
• Facial hair and longish hair a huge plus.
• No shaved heads, dreadlocks or braids.
• No piercings.

Caucasian Women

• Shoulder length or longer hair.
• Hair must be natural color.
• No bleached, dyed or streaked hair.
• Should be a dress size 6-12.

African American Women

• Any length hair but no dreads, braids, modern cuts or wigs.
• Should be a dress size 6-12.

Columbia Pictures 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' casting highly featured extras

Filming on "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" began in Stockholm, Sweden in September 2010.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Filming is currently taking place in Los Angeles on the Columbia Pictures feature film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". The extras casting director is currently casting several very featured background artist roles, including Swedish, Spanish, and European looking types. Also sought is a very good long haired guitar player. This is for Los Angeles area talent only, no exceptions.

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is a thriller film that is the second film based on the Swedish novel of the same name by Stieg Larsson. The first film was the 2009 Swedish-language adaptation. Two-time Academy Award nominated David Fincher is directing from an adapted screenplay written by Academy Award winning writer Steven Zaillian.

If it performs well, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" will in all likelyhood be the first film in a trilogy with the next two films titled "The Girl Who Played with Fire," and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest". Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara both have options in their contracts to reprise their roles in the next two films.

Steven Zaillian is executive producer for Film Rights, Mikael Wallen and Anni Faurbye Fernandez will executive produce for Yellow Bird Films, and Relativity Media Founder and CEO Ryan Kavanaugh will co-executive produce.

Story:

21 Jump Street is the headquarters for a squad of police officers who specialize in investigations relating to young people.

Dave Franco will play Eric, a high school student who also happens to be a psycho drug dealer.

Orlando Bloom joins J.R.R. Tolkien’s 'The Hobbit' as extras casting continues

MGM, New Line Cinema, and WingNut Films are currently in production on J.R.R. Tolkien’s "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and "The Hobbit: There and Back Again". The film's extras casting directors are hiring general background actors, photo doubles, and stand-ins for the film's stars throughout filming, which will continue into late spring, 2012. Some smaller speaking roles will also be cast during the shoot as script changes occur.

Principal actor casting news continues to come in, as Peter Jackson announced on May 26, 2011 that Orlando Bloom, who portrayed Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings trilogy", is the newest actor to be cast in "The Hobbit" films. Peter Jackson posted on his Facebook page, "Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas, and I am excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more". Bloom's character does not appear in the book version of The Hobbit, however this is very common in differences between adapted screenplays written based on novels.

Peter Jackson directed all three “Lord of the Rings” films, which earned a total of 30 Academy Award nominations and 17 Academy Awards. Jackson is shooting "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" back-to-back in Digital 3-D, using the latest camera and stereo technology. The budget for "The Hobbit" is estimated to be between $300 – $500 million.

Carolynne Cunningham of Peter Jackson's WingNut Films will produce the film along with three time Academy Award winner (and Peter Jackson's wife) Fran Walsh. "The Hobbit" films are also being co-produced by New Line Cinema and MGM, with New Line handling production management. Warner Bros Pictures has acquired worldwide theatrical distribution rights, with select international territories. MGM will handle all international television licensing.

• "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is currently slated to hit theaters December 14, 2012.

• "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" is currently slated to hit theaters December 13, 2013.

Columbia Pictures 'The Amazing Spider-Man' seeking stand-ins for film's stars in New York

"The Amazing Spider-Man," now in the New York phase of production, is seeking SAG members to work as stand-ins for the film's starring actors. "The Amazing Spider-Man" is being shot entirely in 3D. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Embeth Davidtz, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.

The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing the Marvel Entertainment production for Columbia Pictures. The executive producers are Stan Lee, Kevin Feige, and Michael Grillo.

Note: "The Amazing Spider-Man" has been using the working title of "Fiona's Tale". A working title is the temporary name of a film used during its development. Working titles are used primarily for two reasons - the first being that an official title has not yet been decided upon and the working title is being used as a filler for naming purposes, the second being to intentionally disguise the production of a high profile film. In some cases a working title may ultimately be used as the official title. This "title ruse" is now a very common practice by which these high-profile films or television series is given a fake working title to keep its production a secret, and to prevent price gouging by suppliers, casual theft and undesirable attention. The release title of this film will be "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Central Casting is seeking SAG Members who can Photo Double for the New York unit of the feature film, "The Amazing Spider-Man".

Here is what they need:

• Actor Campbell Scott: Someone able to portray a Caucasian, male, late forties – mid fifties with grey hair, 5’11 to 6’1 to fit size 40R, waist 35/34, with 16 neck and 34 sleeve.
