Casting info for Clint Eastwood directed musical feature film 'Jersey Boys'

"Jersey Boys" will film in Los Angeles beginning August, 2013.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

The powerhouse film production company GK Films is in pre-production on the major musical feature film "Jersey Boys" based on the hit Broadway musical "Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons". The Casting directors for the film are auditioning talent for lead and supporting roles. Filming begins in August, 2013 and will take place in Los Angeles. The stand-ins for the film's stars will be hired closer to shooting, and the extras will be cast throughout production.

This film was originally set up at Warner Bros. Pictures, however the studio put the project in turnaround in November, 2012. Turnaround simply means that the studio developing the movie has decided to drop it. The film rights can legally be picked up by another producer or movie studio, granted that the studio pays back the costs incurred by the first studio, plus interest. In this case, Clint Eastwoods' Malpaso Productions will produce. "Jersey Boys" was to be shot in Philadelphia and open casting calls took place there and in New York for the lead roles back in August, 2012. New casting directors have been hired and casting has started over from scratch.

"Jersey Boys" tells the story of Frankie Vallie and the other members of the pop sensation group The Four Seasons" during their rise to superstardom. The stage musical opened on Broadway in 2005, and has since had a North American National Tour, along with productions in London's West End, Las Vegas, Chicago, Toronto, Melbourne, Sydney, Philadelphia, Auckland and Brisbane. It has held hundreds of performances to date. An international tour with an all South African cast is scheduled to open at Artscape Cape Town from June 19, 2013.

Four-time Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood will direct the big screen adaption of the Tony Award winning Broadway documentary-style musical from a screenplay written by three-time Academy Award nominee John Logan. Jon Favreau was originally set to direct. Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice wrote the book that the play was based on. Some of Logan's credits include "Gladiator," "The Aviator," "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street," "Rango," and "Hugo".

Academy Award winning executive of GK Films, Graham King, will produce "Jersey Boys" with Tim Headington. A few notable GK Films produced movies are "The Town," "Argo," and the recently completed "World War Z". Frankie Valli and fellow The Four Seasons member Bob Gaudio are executive producing. "Jersey Boys" will use much of the music from the Broadway play, with such songs as "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," Oh What a Night," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You".

All talent must be legally eligible to work in the state of California and in the United States.

Sony Pictures talent search for boy to play lead role in 'Heaven is for Real'

"Heaven is for Real" will shoot from June 10 through August 10, 2013.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Roth Films/Real Heaven, Inc. in association with Wheelhouse Entertainment are in pre-production on the Sony Pictures true-story feature film "Heaven is for Real" based on the New York Times best-selling book written by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent. The book has over 7 million copies in print, and has sold over 1 million eBooks. Casting directors across the United States and Canada are conducting a massive talent search for a 6-8 year old boy to play the role of Colton Burpo. They are considering new talent with no experience or training required. One of the film's casting directors, Jim Heber, has stated that "a role like this typically requires a search all over North America". Filming will take place this summer in Canada.

"Heaven is for Real" tells the true story of Todd and Sonja Burpo's son Colton, who during emergency appendectomy surgery, slips from consciousness and passes into heaven. He narrowly survives. Several months later while passing by the same hospital that saved him, Colton begins talking about his experiences during surgery and making a trip to heaven. The family didn’t know what to believe, but soon the evidence was clear. Colton spoke of such things as his his miscarried sister, his great grandfather who died 30 years before Colton was born, and describing exactly what his parents were doing in another part of the hospital while he was being operated on. These were things he could not have known about because he was never told about them. He has descriptions and obscure details about heaven that matched the Bible exactly, though he had not yet learned to read. "Heaven is for Real" offers a glimpse of the world that awaits us, as told by an amazing little miracle boy.

Starring in "Heaven is for Real" is Academy Award nominee Greg Kinnear playing the role of Colton's father Todd Burpo, who told his son's story in the novel, often in Colten's own words. Todd Burpo is the pastor of a small Wesleyan church in Imperial, Nebraska and also coaches wrestling and is a volunteer fireman. Greg Kinnear recently completed the film "The English Teacher" also starring Lily Collins and and Julianne Moore. He is currently shooting "Anchorman: The Legend Continues". Starring as Todd Burpo's wife Sonja is two-time British Independent Film Awards nominee Kelly Reilly. Sonja Burpo is a busy pastor’s wife and mom to Colton, his older sister Cassie, and younger brother Colby. Kelly Reilly is a major star of the London stage, and also starred opposite Denzel Washington in the Robert Zemeckis film "Flight" among many other films and TV shows.

Directing "Heaven is for Real" is the Academy Award nominated Wheelhouse Entertainment executive Randall Wallace from an adapted screenplay written by Chris Parker. Wallace, who is also a New York Times bestselling author of seven novels, has written screenplays for such epic films as "Braveheart" starring Mel Gibson; "The Man in the Iron Mask" starring Leonardo DiCaprio, John Malkovich, and Jeremy Irons; and "Pearl Harbor" starring Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, and Kate Beckinsale, and Jennifer Garner. Wallace also directed the films "We Were Soldiers" and "Secretariat," and is lined up to pen the script for Walt Disney Pictures "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo" to film in New South Wales, Australia.

Primetime Emmy Award nominee Joe Roth will produce "Heaven is for Real" under the banner of his production company Roth Films. Roth has produced the films "Alice in Wonderland," "Oz: The Great and Powerful," "Snow White and the Huntsman," and "Maleficent" among others. He is currently producing the Walk Disney Pictures film "Million Dollar Arm" being shot in Atlanta. T.D. Jakes, the chief pastor of The Potter's House, a non-denominational American megachurch in Dallas, will also serve a producer on the film. Bishop Jakes produced and played a pastor in Sony Pictures "Jumping the Broom", and produced the Sony film "Sparkle". Sony Pictures executive DeVon Franklin, also a Christian minister, is responsible for bringing "Heaven is for Real" to the studio. Real Heaven Inc., which is owned by Sony, is the studios's production company behind the film. Sue Baden-Powell will executive produce.

Nickelodeon Movies casting for live-action feature film 'Ninja Turtles'

"Ninja Turtles" is scheduled to hit theaters on June 6, 2014.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

Paramount Pictures subsidiary Nickelodeon Movies in association with Platinum Dunes and Mednick Productions are getting ready to begin production on the live-action feature film "Ninja Turtles," based on the legendary comic book series by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Casting directors are holding auditions for starring, co-starring, and supporting roles. The extras casting director will be hiring featured and general background performers throughout filming, which is taking place from April 13 through July 31, 2013. Shooting will be at the largest and most sophisticated studio complex outside of Hollywood, Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. Additional principal photography will take place at various locations in New York City and surrounding areas.

"Ninja Turtles" is not a prequel or sequel to the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" film franchise from the 90's or the 2007 CGI animated film. This will be a live-action film with Motion Capture Performance used extensively such as in the James Cameron film "Avatar" and "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes". The story centers on a team of four teen humanlike turtles named Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. They are trained in the ways of the Ninja by their Sensei and father figure Splinter, who is a patient and wise master. This version will feature the beautiful and brave April O'Neil, who is a great human friend and companion to the turtles. Also featured is the primary villain and antagonist Shredder, the leader of the Foot Clan - an opposing group of Ninjas who are feared warriors and assassins. This film will expand on ideas that TMNT comics co-creator Kevin Eastman has always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity.

Starring in "Ninja Turtles" is the very talented and amazing three-time Teen Choice Awards winner Megan Fox in the lead role of April O'Neil. Fox is perfectly cast in the role, as she has intentionally broken away from her former sex symbol label and become a sought after talent for mainstream roles. Also starring is newcomer Pete Ploszek playing Leonardo; Noel Fisher, who played Vladimir in "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part II" is portraying Michelangelo; "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Men in Black II" actor Jeremy Howard has been cast as Donatello; and Alan Ritchson, who played Gloss in the upcoming "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," is playing Raphael.

Hollywood Young Filmmaker Award winner Jonathan Liebesman is directing "Ninja Turtles" from an adapted screenplay written by the Writers Guild of America WGA Award nominated writing team of Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec. Jonathan Liebesman is also working closely with Kevin Eastman in order to stay true to the mythology of the comics, while still expanding on it. Liebesman's film directing credits include "Battle Los Angeles," and the box-office mega success "Wrath of the Titans". Liebesman studied filmmaking at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec wrote the screenplay for "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," and have written and produced numerous television series. In January 2013, Evan Daugherty was brought on board to do rewrites on the script. His credits include "Snow White and the Huntsman," "Killing Season," and "Divergent".

The critically acclaimed Directors Guild of America WGA Award winning filmmaker Michael Bay is producing under the banner of his production company Platinum Dunes, along with his executives Bradley Fuller and Andrew Form. Bay played a big part in getting Megan Fox cast in the film, as he directed her in "Transformers" and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen". He recently directed and produced the upcoming Paramount Pictures feature film "Pain & Gain" starring Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. Bay will soon begin directing the "Untitled Transformers Sequel". Scott Mednick is producing for Mednick Productions along with TMNT Productions' Galen Walker. Executive Producers are Denis L. Stewart, and Eric J. Crown.

In October of 2009, Viacom - the parent company of Paramount Pictures and it's subsidiary Nickelodeon Movies - acquired the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property rights from Peter Laird (TMNT comics co-creator) and his Mirage Studios for $9.75 million. On May 27, 2010 Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production company landed the rights to the new feature film 'Ninja Turtles' from Paramount Pictures, which has a first-look deal with Platinum Dunes. Peter Laird, who has been very critical of the new project especially casting, is not involved in any capacity with the production. A January 30, 2012 draft of the screenplay was leaked online, and since the cease and desist order was issued to the website that posted the script, extensive rewrites have been done to Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec's original drafts.
