Who Wants to Be in a Kevin Smith 'Porno?'
Filed under: Comedy », Casting », Fandom »
Kevin Smith has always had pretty close contact with his fans. He ships off signed copies of his DVDs via his own store, he surfs the net and comments on sites including this one, and has laid the podium down, treating fans to a number of spoken word engagements that pack the house with fanboys and fangirls. But that's not all, he's also giving you all the chance to be in his porno! Or rather, his new film called Zack and Miri Make a Porno.As you might remember, the flick stars Seth Rogen as Zack, and Elizabeth Banks as Miri. They are a pair of platonic friends who decide to make a porn movie to rake in some much-needed cash. While bringing the flick together, however, the two develop more-than-friends feelings for each other. (Rogen must be the luckiest nerd to ever live.) Now, I'm pretty sure that they don't need extras to be in the film's porn, nor fluffers or anything of that sort, but if you'd like to be seen somewhere in the film, Smith is opening the floodgates. As the director says, it could be "just your shoulder, and only for a second," but I'm sure that it would be a great experience.
If you want to help make the Porno, you just need your age and contact info, as well as a head-shot and a fully-clothed body shot. You can find the particulars over at Silent Bob Speaks. Now, this isn't some ritzy gig -- should you be chosen, you'll only get minimum wage, and if you live outside of the Pittsburgh area, you'll have to pay for your own accommodations. But still, would you really want to pass up the chance?
Want Your Little Boy to Play With the Wild Things?
Filed under: Action », Animation », Family Films »
Got a small boy nearby that you wouldn't mind subjecting to some Wild Things? Is he yours? Do you both live in New York?Then head on over The Church of St. Paul the Apostle (60th & Columbus) on Saturday, July 8th (between 10am and 4pm), because that's where WB will be holding an open casting call for Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, which is the big-screen adaptation of Maurice Sendak's well-beloved book. The casting directors are looking for young boys between the ages of 7 and 11. (No, Michael Jackson does not work for the casting directors. Matter of fact, all kids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.)
Adapted for the screen by Jonze (Adaptation.), Michael Goldenberg (Contact), and award-winning author / first-time screenwriter Dave Eggers, Where the Wild Things Are tells the story of "Max, a headstrong young boy who runs away from home and finds himself in a thriving forest bordering a vast sea. Misunderstood and rebellious, Max sets sail to the land of the wild things were mischief reigns."
The live-action / animation combo will star Benicio Del Toro, Forest Whitaker, Catherine Keener, Michelle Williams, Catherine O'Hara, and ... maybe your kid.
