One morning when he wakes up disoriented in a wrecked hotel room amidst several near-naked women he’s never seen before, he knows one thing: it’s happening again. Every night at the same hour, something inside Jason changes, leaving him almost unrecognizable – seductive, devious, borderline sociopathic. This new man is his dangerous alternate personality who goes by the name of "Ian Price". For years he’s battled Ian, keeping him in check with a powerful experimental sedative. But now his – their – body has developed a resistance to the serum, setting Ian free once again. And to make matters worse, after being suppressed for so long, Ian’s hell-bent on taking revenge on his oppressor. With everyone Jason cares about at risk – patients, friends, coworkers and even the woman he loves – he’s got to stop Ian once and for all. Will they find some common ground, or will they bring each other down? Hell hath no fury like an alter ego scorned.

Feature Film '50 to 1' casting call for extras in Louisville, Kentucky

Over 500 locals will be hired as extras in Louisville, KY.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

On May 2, 2009 Mine That Bird pulled off the second-biggest upset in Kentucky Derby history by winning the 135th running of the race. Now the true story is being told in a biopic feature film titled "50 to 1". The movie is in production in Louisville, KY and over 500 extras are being cast to work on the film. The shooting days are likely from October 12th through the 21st. These are fully paid positions with overtime likely, as film shoots commonly run 10-12 hours and longer. No prior experience working as a background performer is necessary, and there are no fees whatsoever to be considered.

Mine That Bird was an improbable winner of the toughest horse race in America - The Kentucky Derby. Sent off at 50-1 odds, the diminutive gelding was last down the backside, made a phenomenal move to win the race by the largest winning margin since Assault in 1946. His win was considered a fluke by many, horsemen included. His second place finish in the Preakness Stakes, behind Rachel Alexandra, convinced everybody that Mine That Bird is for real. Trainer Chip Woolley, who had a broken foot at the time and was in a cast, loaded Mine That Bird into a horse trailer attached to his pickup truck, and drove the small, crooked-legged racehorse, on a fun-filled road trip over 1,200 miles in 21 hours from New Mexico to get to Churchill Downs.

The cast includes Skeet Ulrich as horse trainer "Chip" Woolley; Golden Globe Award nominee and two-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee William Devane is playing equine veterinarian Dr. Leonard Blach, co-owner of Mine That Bird; Screen Actors Guild Award nominee and "True Bloods" star Todd Lowe is portraying racing manager Kelly Denninton; Madelyn Deutch plays exercise rider Alex Ayres; Teen Choice Award nominee and "Leverage" star Christian Kane as Mine That Bird co-owner Mark Allen; Bruce Wayne Eckelman is playing the world renowned racehorse trainer Bob Baffert; and jockey Calvin Borel is playing Himself.

Academy Award winner Jim Wilson is directing "50 to 1" from a screenplay that he co-wrote with screenwriter Faith Conroy. Wilson had produced and/or directed such films as "Dances with Wolves," "The Bodyguard," "Wyatt Earp," "The Postman," "Message in a Bottle," "Mr. Brooks," "Swing Vote," "Revenge," and "Stacy's Knights" - all of which starred his long time good friend Kevin Kostner who is co-owner of Tig productions with Wilson. For television, Jim Executive Produced the award winning 8 hour mini-series, 500 Nations for CBS, hosted by Kevin Costner.

Producing "50 to 1" is Pieter Kroonenburg, president of Kingsborough Pictures. Since the opening of the Los Angeles office, Kingsborough is now developing bigger budget motion pictures in collaboration with major studios. Kroonenburg has produced over 35 feature films. Also producing is Elizabeth Gaylynn Baker of Spirit Productions, director/writer Jim Wilson, Tony Mark, Earl Robinson, Liz Servis, Nick Ward, and Rick Morse.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

The HBO Films semi-improvised comedy movie "Clear History" is in production and casting for the film's extras will be ongoing throughout the shoot which will continue through early November, 2012. The casting director in Boston is seeking children and teen extras, as well as adults. They are also casting teens and adults who are great water skiers.

The cable television movie "Clear History" tells the story of Nathan Flomm, a former marketing executive at a start-up electric car company. After losing a fortune due to a petty argument with his boss Will Haney, Nathan is publicly humiliated for walking away from his 10 percent of a company which is now worth billions. Ten years later, his marriage in ruins and his reputation destroyed, Nathan has changed his identity so he can live a simple life on a small island as Rolly DaVore. But when his former boss shows up to renovate his summer mansion, Nathan vows to seek his revenge and drive his nemesis off the island.

The production has assembled an impressive cast starting with three-time Golden Globe Award nominee Larry David as Nathan Flomm. Golden Globe Award winner Jon Hamm plays Will Haney; Academy Award nominee Kate Hudson plays Mrs. Haney; two-time Screen Actors Guild Award nominee Philip Baker Hall portrays a Quarry owner named McKenzie; Primetime Emmy Award winner Bill Hader plays McKenzie's friend and henchman, Rags; Golden Globe Award nominee Michael Keaton is cast as the quarry operator Joe Stumpo; five-time ALMA Award nominee Eva Mendes plays a character named Jennifer; Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan is Nathan Flomm's ex-girlfriend; and Teen Choice Award nominee Danny McBride plays the role of Nathan's best friend.
