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:
