New Line Cinema casting new extras for 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again'

"The Hobbit: There and Back Again" will shoot through June, 2012.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

New Line Cinema, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and WingNut Films are currently in production on J.R.R. Tolkien’s "The Hobbit: There and Back Again". Shooting has wrapped on "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", and the extras casting directors are hiring new general background actors throughout filming on "The Hobbit: There and Back Again", which will continue into June, 2012. Those interested must be located in the Wellington area and must be available to work with 12-hours notice.

Peter Jackson directed all three "Lord of the Rings" films, which earned a total of 30 Academy Award nominations and 17 Academy Award wins. Jackson is shooting "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" in Digital 3-D, using the latest camera shooting and audio recording technology. The budget for the two Hobbit films is estimated to be between $300 – $500 million. Although principal photography will wrap in June 2012, Peter Jackson has confirmed that some scenes for "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" may be shot sometime during 2013. Filming is taking place at Stone Street Studios sound stages and other locations in and around Wellington, New Zealand.

The production companies for "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" are 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. Carolynne Cunningham of Peter Jackson's WingNut Films is producing, along with three time Academy Award winner (and Peter Jackson's wife) Fran Walsh.

The Hobbit, or There and Back Again, better known by its abbreviated title The Hobbit, was first published by independent Australian publishing company Allen & Unwin in 1937. It has been a perennial bestseller since starting life with a very modest 1,500-copy print run. Since then, it has gone on to sell many millions of copies in more than 50 languages, and 2012 is the 75th anniversary year of its publication.

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

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

Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage). Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever... Gollum (Andy Serkis). Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities... a simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Open casting call for 'Pain and Gain' from 'Transformers' director Michael Bay

"Pain and Gain" is based on a true story that took place in Miami in 1994.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

The Paramount Pictures star studded major comedy thriller feature film "Pain and Gain" is beginning production April 6th in Miami, FL and an open casting call is scheduled for all types of people ages 18 and over who are interested in working as extras on the film. The story is based on true events surrounding a group of bodybuilders who engage in a campaign of kidnapping, extortion and murder in Florida during 1994. Also needed are vehicles from that era, any color, make or model.

And now Directors Guild of America DGA Award winning filmmaker Michael Bay has done it again. First it was the super sexy Megan Fox lighting up the big screen in Transformers 1 and 2 - later replaced by the intensely seductive Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Transformers 3, and now Bay has cast the astonishingly ravishing treasure Bar Paly. She will play a lead role as Sabrina Petrescu. It can be said with absolute certainty that Micheal Bay has a terrific eye for beauty and talent. Paly is an international supermodel and actress who is from Tel Aviv, Israel and now has the attention of the entertainment industry as well as fans world wide. She has appeared on shows like "CSI: NY," "How I Met Your Mother," and "The Starter Wife". Film credits include DreamWorks "The Ruins," "Stiletto," and Roman Coppola's "A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III".

Bay will produce and direct "Pain and Gain" from a screenplay written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely. Two-time Writers Guild of America WGA Award nominee Scott Rosenberg was brought in to make final script revisions. Rosenberg’s writing credits include "Con Air," "High Fidelity," "Gone in Sixty Seconds," "Impostor," "Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead," "Kangaroo Jack," and the upcoming Michael Bay film "The Hauntrepreneur" starring Russell Brand. "Pain and Gain" is scheduled to hit theaters in 2013.

Also starring in "Pain and Gain" are two-time Academy Award nominated Mark Wahlberg as Daniel Lugo; Teen Choice Award winner and WWE Superstar Wrestler Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson as Adrain Doorbal; four-time Academy Award nominated Ed Harris plays private eye Ed Du Bois; and Golden Globe Award winner Tony Shalhoub portrays Marc Schiller. Dwayne Johnson will next star opposite Liam Hemsworth and Emma Roberts in another true story feature film "Empire State". Auditions and casting information for that film is posted here:

"Empire State" Casting Calls and Auditions

Aside from studio interiors and various locations around Miami, filming for "Pain and Gain" Sun Gym scenes will take place inside and outside of a building at 8000 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. The three-story, 38,937-square-foot office/industrial space has been painted with teal-colored "Sun Gym" logos to the building's eastern and northern facades, while a half-dozen crew members have assembled thousands of dollars worth of 90s era Nautilus weightlifting and exercise machines in the glass-encased top story. The location is also a favorite of Michael Bay's. Ten years ago, he transformed the building into a bank for one of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence's Shoot'Em Up scenes in "Bad Boys II".

Story:

"Pain and Gain" centers on the true story of Miami's Sun Gym gang, led by the general manager Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) and Adrian Doorbal (Dwayne Johnson) in Miami during the mid-90s. In the beginning, they established ten phony medical companies and mailed fraudulent bills to the government for nonexistent medical services, making a fortune in the process. Then the two local bodybuilders developed a penchant for steroids, strippers, and quick cash. And they became expert in the use of a peculiar motivational tool: Torture. They obtained merchandise designed to electrocute, incapacitate, imprison, and eavesdrop. Other members of the Sun Gym gang were Carl Weekes, Stevenson Pierre, corrupt corrections officer John Raimondo, Jorge Delgado, and John Mese. The police could have stopped them before they killed somebody. But they didn't. The gang botched their first kidnapping/torture/murder for extortion by failing to kill their victim, Marc Schiller (Tony Shalhoub), who hires crack private detective Ed Du Bois (Ed Harris) after the Metro-Dade Police do not believe his story. Danny Lugo then lures in a stunning illegal immigrant stripper named Sabina Petrescu (Bar Paly) under the guise of being a C.I.A. agent. She was a 25-year-old Romanian born dancer who'd modeled for Penthouse. Petrescu became lovers with the married Lugo as well as an unsuspecting participant in his next crime. After the disappearance of wealthy couple Frank Griga and Krisztin Furton, the slumbering Metro-Dade Police Department awakens and the Sun Gym gang is in their sights.

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

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.

March 14, 2012 - Hispanic actors to play estate gardeners.

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. After a massive online talent search was conducted looking for an unknown talent, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ended up being cast as Sykes. Coster-Waldau is a regular on "Game of Thrones".

Story:

A former solider named Jack (Tom Cruise) is one of the two last people on an Earth devastated by a war with an alien race. Jack, who now works as a surface drone repairman along with right-hand woman and lover Victoria (Olga Kurylenko), lives in a future where the Earth’s surface has been irradiated beyond recognition and the remnants of humanity live above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien Scavengers that stalk the ruins. When Jack discovers a mysterious woman in a crash-landed pod, her story sets off an unstoppable chain of events that not only forces him to question everything he knows - it propels the two on an epic adventure that will alter both their destinies.
