Is “should have a midwestern feel” the new code for should be white?
Hahahaha! Well said!
I’m guessing this is for J.J Abrams ‘Super 8′ or something.
Exactly what I was thinking. Though, this is the studio that brought us “The Last Airbender’ after all. This time they want to make sure that no minorities are accidentally cast, yet at the same time word it so that they won’t be offending any of them. After all, even if they aren’t making the movie for them, they still want their money.
“stunning natural beauty…”
So what would constitute unnatural beauty in a 13 year-old?
So basically they want a 13 year old boy who’s taller than most adult male actors in Hollywood.
careful. this might be a “To Catch a Predator” sting.
I love this line: “No previous acting experience is necessary” Yeah, why bother, right? Having real acting talent doesn’t really matter anymore.
Everyone is looking forward to watching a bunch of young people cluelessly meandering around in movies. Reality TV has officially taken over movies! Congrats Paramount!
you are so right..reality has taken over..its a shame!!!… i miss the late 80′s and 90′s when real stuff was on t.v…smh!!!
Re the several-hour wait in line: It sounds like the winners might be the boy and girl with the largest-capacity bladder…
Stunning 13-year-old…
Hollywood execs are disgusting pigs
The Truth.. open casting calls have been around forever. Relax.
So has rape. What’s your point?
Why even bother using casting directors anymore? So many just exploit their position to take money from young actors and their parents in these pay-to-play casting showcases.
Legal? Maybe. Ethical? You be the judge.
My sources are telling me that this casting call is for J.J. Abrams’ new movie Super 8.
Your sources are wrong. It’s not Super 8. Think more impossibly.
Midwestern feel? Hear that, Hasidic Jews from Postville, Iowa? Hollywood beckons!
So I guess they won’t be screening many bar mitzvah videos.
Minimum 5’6″ in early puberty? Riiiiight.
Probably more disturbing that the sex appeal of the kid is being mentioned.
You are all genuinely insane. Let me push the already cracked door open. Everyone with a comment or boohoo’s of self righteous, self pity let it be known rock on. You are struggling actors/actress’s in LA who haven’t quite been picked at a casting call. I, myself no nothing of LA or acting whatever. Quite frankly, I’d prefer being in the dark about it. I love seeing a new preview and thinkin, damn..I can’t wait to see that on the big screen. But, never have I felt so much bitterness towards anything in my life. You should be ashamed…or you could atleast act like it..and no, it will not score you a line in the next James Cameron flick. Boohoo. Focus on yourselves and don’t be upset you’re no longer 13 or 14. I think that’s the real problem and why you’re bashing the casting call. You grew up and were never able to be the child star you so badly wanted to be. Damn shame you weren’t able to start at 13, develop a major drug problem..OD at 16… Rehab by 18.. DUI by 21..aww, poor babies. You still have time though..just keep on checkin this site out to make yourselves feel better. And, get off the comp, isn’t it time to go wait on tables?
Hollywood got problems. Good looking 13 year old girls and unrealistically tall boys.
