Lakeshore Entertainment and Summit Entertainment are in production on the upcoming feature film "Gone", and the extras casting director is looking for real sisters with blonde hair who are 4 and 2 years old. They are also open to seeing relatives, good friends, etc as long as the girls are the right age and are very comfortable with each other.

The film stars Amanda Seyfried, Emily Wickersham (I Am Number Four), Wes Bentley (Jonah Hex), and Jennifer Carpenter (The Exorcism of Emily Rose). Seyfried's career is in high gear, as she has two high profile films being released in 2011 - Catherine Hardwicke‘s fairy tale "Red Riding Hood" and Andrew Niccol‘s sci-fi thriller "Now".

Brazilian filmmaker Heitor Dhalia will make his English-language directorial debut with "Gone". Dhalia will direct from a screenplay written by Allison Burnett.

Lakeshore Entertainment's Gary Lucchesi and Tom Rosenberg will produce along with Sidney Kimmel of Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, Chris Salvaterra, and Dan Abrams. Summit Entertainment has acquired domestic distribution rights to the project.

Principal Photography on "Gone" begins in Portland, Oregon on April 27, 2011 and will continue through June 30, 2011.

Marvel Studios first official open casting call for 'The Avengers'

Scarlett Johansson will play Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow in "The Avengers".

Creative Commons

Walt Disney Company's Marvel Studios is currently in pre-production on the upcoming superhero blockbuster film "The Avengers". The film will be directed by Academy Award nominated Joss Whedon, and shot in 3-D. Whedon also re-wrote a script that was originally written by scribe Zak Penn. There will be an official open casting call being held by Marvel Studios in Albuquerque, NM in late March 2011.

Marvel Studios Co-Presidents Kevin Feige and Louis D'Esposito, VP Development and Production Jeremy Latcham, Executive Vice President of Visual Effects Victoria Alonso, and Executive of Animation Development Joshua Fine will all oversee production for the studio. Jon Favreau will co-executive produce "The Avengers" under his Fairview Entertainment banner.

"The Avengers" will be filmed almost entirely in New Mexico, and will become the state's largest feature film production ever with an estimated budget surpassing $200 million. New Mexico has a 25 percent rebate program intended to bring major film and television productions to the state.

Marvel also chose New Mexico due to the close propinquity to Los Angeles, heterogeneous landscape and the fact that the studio recently enjoyed filming scenes for another film there - "Thor." The picture was originally slated to start filming in February, 2011 but Marvel Studio executives pushed the production start date back to April, 2011 to accommodate the change in filming location.

All of the main principal actors have been cast. There will still be casting for day players and extras, mainly in Albuquerque, Cleveland, and New York - where filming will take place starting April 25, 2011 and continue through late June, 2011. There will also be additional casting in Cleveland, Ohio and New York, the other two filming locations. Shooting will run through September 2010. The exact shooting dates for Cleveland and New York have not been officially released. Filming will also take place in Los Angeles.

"The Avengers" has a scheduled release date of May 4, 2012.
