The Hallmark Channel casting extras for Michael Landon Jr's 'The Confession'

Michael Landon Jr. will direct this secong movie in the trilogy.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

The Hallmark Channel telefilm "The Confession" is currently shooting in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area and extras are needed for scenes being filmed March 14th, 16th, and 20th, 2012. The movie is based on the second novel of "The Heritage of Lancaster County" trilogy from New York Times best-selling author Beverly Lewis. The first movie, "The Shunning" made its World Premiere, Saturday, April 16, 2011 on Hallmark Channel.

Set in Lancaster County, with its quaint Amish setting, each novel addresses issues of family, belonging, and community, providing a powerful look into a life of faith, a search for truth, and a promise of peace. In this Hallmark Channel sequel, Katie Lapp is torn from her close-knit Plain community in the painful ordeal called the shunning. But as she strikes out alone into the strange and sometimes dangerous "English" world, she is unaware that the man she loves is planning to return to his Amish family...and to her.

Three-time Emmy and two-time Golden Globe nominee Sherry Stringfield reprises her role of Laura Mayfield Bennett from "The Shunning". Katie Leclerc took over the role of Katie Lapp, played by Danielle Panabaker in the first film. The cast also includes Adrian Paul playing Sherry Stringfield's gambling addicted husband Dylan Bennett, and Cameron Deane Stewart plays the role of Daniel Fisher. Returning as Samuel and Rebecca Lapp are Bill Oberst Jr. and Sandra Van Natta respectively.

The extremely talented producer and filmmaker Michael Landon Jr. is directing "The Confession" from an screenplay written by himself and Brian Bird. Landon and Bird's company, Believe Pictures, is producing along with Lightworks Entertainment. This is the same production team that brought you the first movie in this trilogy, "The Shunning" - also filmed in the Winston-Salem and the surrounding areas.

Here is what the casting director in North Carolina currently needs:

Extras open casting call for Major Universal Pictures film in Louisiana

This Tom Cruise starring vehicle will hit theaters on theaters July 19, 2013

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Universal Pictures is currently holding an open casting call for extras to work on a major feature film with a $100 million dollar budget starring Tom Cruise. Background performers who wish to be considered should attend the casting call, however emailed submissions are being accepted also. Shooting will take place mostly in New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Additional filming will take place in Los Angeles, New York, and the country of Iceland. Principal photography will begin on March 19, 2012 and continue through August 12, 2012.

American television commercial and feature film director Joseph Kosinski will direct the film which is based on the graphic novel called "Oblivion" that he wrote himself. The title of this film was originally the same as the novel, then was being called "Horizons", and now is being referred to as "Untitled TC" or "Untitled Tom Cruise Project". In August 2010, Walt Disney Pictures acquired the rights to "Oblivion", but attempts at a PG rating were unsuccessful and Universal Pictures acquired the rights. Academy Award winning writer William Monahan and Karl Gajdusek wrote the first drafts of the script, with final rewrites by Academy Award winning scribe Michael Arndt.

Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark are producing through Chernin Entertainment, along with Joseph Kosinski, Steve Gaub, and Radical Pictures's Barry Levine. Jesse Berger, Executive Vice President of Radical Studios, will executive produce with Dave Morrison. Radical Studios has an impressive lineup of future film projects including the DreamWorks SKG Sam Raimi directed Sci-Fi "Earp: Saints for Sinners," the Bryan Singer directed "Freedom Formula," the Sam Worthington starring vehicle "Damaged," and the Brett Ratner directed action adventure "Hercules: The Thracian Wars".

"Untitled Tom Cruise Project" is a love story that is set against a post-apocalyptic landscape. It's about a soldier who's been court-martialed and as part of his punishment, he’s sent to patrol this planet and maintains a fleet of droids and probes that comb the surface, searching out a primitive alien race that’s been defeated. When he discovers a mysterious woman who left on a science mission 60 years earlier and crash lands, the two must traverse a chain of events that unfolds extreme mystery and adventure.

Starring with Tom Cruise is the beautiful Ukrainian-born actress and model Olga Kurylenko, who plays his right-hand woman and lover. Olga Kurylenko, best known for her role as Bond Girl Camille in "Quantum of Solace", has carved out an impressive acting resume with roles in such films as "Max Payne," "Land of Oblivion" which she also executive produced, "The Expatriate," "Empires of the Deep," "Seven Psychopaths," and a recently wrapped untitled Terrence Malik film. Gorgeous British actress Andrea Riseborough will play the Mysterious Woman who crash lands on Earth. Riseborough, who trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, is a rising star who's credits include "Resistance," "Shadow Dancer," and Madonna's Academy Award nominated film "W.E." Academy Award winner Morgan Freeman will play the role of Malcolm Beech.

Story:

Centers on Django (Jamie Foxx), who is a slave along with his beautiful Germanspeaking wife (Kerry Washington) on the Carrucan Plantation where she suffers abuse at the hands of the Brittle Brothers - Big John (M.C. Gainey), Elvis (Tom Savini) and Roger (Cooper Huckabee). Big John Brittle rapes Django's wife, Broomhilda, before branding Django's cheek with the letter "R," which stands for "Runaway". She is later separated from Django and sold. Django becomes freed from the Carrucan Plantation, and under the tutelage of German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), who is tracking Big John and his two brothers in order to collect a large reward, becomes trained and deputized as an equally cut-throat and eagle-eyed assassin himself. Schultz teams up with Django, who helps him find and identify the Brittle Brothers. Then, after assisting the bounty hunter in taking down some bank-robbing murderers that have a price on their head, he’s helped by him in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from evil Plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). To add to this a bit, the verbose German bounty hunter, Dr. King Schultz is empathetic to Django’s cause as he’s rather sickened by all the racism and slavery around him. After dispensing with the aforementioned bank robbers, posing as lawmen, Django explains his mission is to find his wife in the last place she was sold: Greenville, Mississipi. Schultz, more aware than the cavalier Django that this solo mission is one of sheer suicide, concocts a plan to train and then help him, as they masquerade under the pretenses of a duo who are looking to buy Mandingo fighting slaves. Calvin Candie purchases these fighting slaves to compete in underground, bloody and savage "Mandingo" fights to the death. Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) is a sadistic trainer who readies Candie's male slaves to fight in these death matches. What then transpires is a long, circuitous journey around the South in search of Broomhilda, Django’s slave wife and several encounters with hick, racist plantation owners (Don Johnson, Tom Savini, Gerald McRaney) that culminates at the Candyland plantation, the owners of which are part of a secret society that acquires African-American female slaves as girlfriends.

Feature film 'After Earth' needs photo-double and stand-in for Jaden Smith

*** Click Here for the new updated post ***

Sony Pictures in association with Overbrook Entertainment are set to begin production on the major sci-fi epic thriller feature film "After Earth" which had previously been titled "1000 A.E." Shooting will take place in Philadelphia and some out of town locations starting on February 6, 2012 and continue through mid May, 2012. The casting director is seeking both photo-doubles and stand-ins for Jaden Smith, as well as numerous extras to work on the film.

Starring with Jaden Smith in "After Earth" is none other than his dad, two-time Academy Award nominee Will Smith. The story is set in a future in which humans no longer live on Earth after it becomes inhospitable. The elder Smith is playing a hero, while Jaden is his son, considered a failure as a warrior. When the two crash-land on Earth, it's up to the son to save the dad. Hunger Games star Isabelle Fuhrman has joined the cast and will play Jaden Smith character’s friend Rayna. Zoe Kravitz plays Will Smith's daughter, and Academy Award nominee Sophie Okonedo plays his wife in the film.

Indian-born American filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan will direct "After Earth" from a screenplay written by Academy Award winner Stephen Gaghan (Traffic, Syriana) and Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli). Shyamalan said he is not shooting "After Earth" in 3D, however he stated that he is "planning something technically special" for the film, and Shyamalan did assist in writing the screenplay. Shyamalan and his family live on an estate in Willistown, Pennsylvania, thus his frequent shooting in nearby Philadelphia.

M. Night Shyamalan will also executive produce under the banner of his production company, Blinding Edge Pictures, which is located in Berwyn, PA. Overbrook Entertainment will produce "After Earth". Overbrook is a leading entertainment production company which is run by producer James Lassiter, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, and former CAA agent Ken Stovitz. Sony Pictures Entertainment will handle distribution.

The photo-double must say the dialogue lines in the same lead actor timing and also reproduce the exact physical actions in co-ordination with the other principal actors in that scene to make this scene suitable for the final cut.
