Various directors work different episodes during the season.

In episodic television productions, the major creative control resides with a producer of the show. The television producer(s) with creative control is called the showrunner(s) (in this case, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss).

Story:

Summers span decades. Winters can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. It will stretch from the south, where heat breeds plots, lusts and intrigues; to the vast and savage eastern lands; all the way to the frozen north, where an 800-foot wall of ice protects the kingdom from the dark forces that lie beyond. Kings and queens, knights and renegades, liars, lords and honest men... all will play the 'Game of Thrones.'

Casting call for National Geographic factual drama 'Killing Kennedy'

Killing Kennedy Casting Call

"Killing Kennedy" will film in the Richmond, VA area.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Scott Free Television and 1122 Pictures are set to begin production on the factual drama telefilm "Killing Kennedy" for National Geographic Channel. Filming will take place in the Richmond, VA area beginning June 11th. The local casting director has issued a casting call for everything from babies and toddlers, to adults and senior citizens. All types of any ethnicity can be considered. These are fully paid positions and there is no prior experience required to be cast in the film.

"Killing Kennedy" is the next in a series of original movies by National Geographic Channel about famous assassinations, based on books by Fox News host Bill O'Reilly. "Killing Lincoln," which was also filmed in the Richmond area, was the first in the series and was the most watched program in the channel's history. "Killing Kennedy" carries forward the new "factual drama" medium that National Geographic is publicizing as a cross between documentary and drama, implementing high scripted production value and appeal without compromising facts and historical credibility. The movie is timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination.

This two-hour factual drama begins in 1959 and follows the paths of John F. Kennedy who was a member of one of the United States' most wealthy and powerful families, and his assassin Lee Harvey Oswald who was a disillusioned former Marine and Marxist — until they collide in Dallas four years later. The story begins in 1959 when JFK announces his presidential candidacy, and Oswald is renouncing his U.S. citizenship at the U.S. embassy in Moscow. The actions of these opposing but equally ambitious men start them on a track that will soon lead to Kennedy’s assassination and Oswald’s subsequent death.

Starring in "Killing Kennedy" is five-time Golden Globe Award nominee Rob Lowe playing the lead role of John F. Kennedy. Lowe recently starred in the HBO film "Behind the Candelabra". Two-time People's Choice Awards nominee Ginnifer Goodwin has been cast in the role of Jacqueline Kennedy. Goodwin has been playing the starring role as Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White on ABC's "Once Upon a Time". Daytime Emmy Award nominee Michelle Trachtenberg is playing the role of Marina Oswald, the widow of Lee Harvey Oswald. This will be Trachtenberg's first Russian-speaking role. The role of Lee Harvey Oswald is still being cast and should be announced very soon, according to a network spokeswoman.

Filmmaker Nelson McCormick will direct "Killing Kennedy" from a teleplay written by Independent Spirit Awards nominated scribe Kelly Masterson, based on books written by Bill O'Reilly. Three-time Academy Award nominee Ridley Scott is producing under the banner of his TV production company Scott Free Television. Primetime Emmy Award nominee David Zucker will also produce along with Mary Lisio of Scott Free. Bill O'Reilly and Kelly Masterson will co-produce. Six-time Primetime Emmy Award nominee Teri Weinberg is executive producing.

"Killing Kennedy" Casting Call Details

The casting director in Richmond, VA is seeking the following types located within a reasonable driving distance of the area to work as fully paid background performers, as well as possible featured roles:

• Males and Females, all ages and types.

Auditions for feature film 'Camp X-Ray' starring Kristen Stewart

Camp X-Ray Auditions Casting Calls

Filming on "Camp X-Ray" will take Place in Los Angeles beginning July, 2013.
AB Media Publishing, LLC

Gotham Group is in the pre-production stage on the upcoming feature film "Camp X-Ray" and the Primetime Emmy Award winning casting director for the movie is holding auditions for lead, co-starring, and supporting roles. The extras, photo doubles, and stand-ins for the film's stars will be cast closer to the start of shooting. Production is set to take place in Los Angeles, CA and will begin principal photography on July 15, 2013.

"Camp X-Ray" centers on female soldier Cole, who joins the military so that she can escape her suffocating small town. Although she hopes for a tour of duty in Iraq, she is instead shipped off to the outpost known as Guantanamo, a temporary detention facility at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp of Joint Task Force Guantanamo on the U.S. Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Cole is met with hatred and abuse from the Muslim men in her charge, and finds herself forging an odd friendship with Ali, who has been imprisoned at Gitmo for eight years. While serving her country to the best of her abilities at Bravo Block, she is also subject to the attempted affections of her superior officer, Sergeant Randy without any action or sympathy from Commanding Officer Colonel Drummond at Gitmo.

Starring in "Camp X-Ray" is Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Kristen Stewart playing the lead role of Cole. In addition to her SAG Award nomination, Stewart has also won three People's Choice Awards, eight Teen Choice Awards, four Kids' Choice Awards, a Young Artist Award, seven MTV Movie Awards, and a BAFTA Award. This role marks Kristen Stewart's first serious foray into possible Academy Award nomination territory under the auspices of four of the best producers in modern Hollywood. Prior to the start of shooting "Camp X-Ray" Stewart will play the lead role of Delphi in the feature film "The Big Shoe" directed by Steven Shainberg. Kristen Stewart is repped by Ken Kaplan of The Gersh Agency.

Filmmaker Peter Sattler will direct "Camp X-Ray" from an original screenplay that he wrote himself. Sattler is an accomplished Graphic Designer, and this will mark his feature film directorial debut. His credits include "The Wendell Baker Story," "Walk the Line," "Star Trek," and "Take Me Home Tonight" among others. Gotham Group's Lindsay Williams and Primetime Emmy Award nominee Ellen Goldsmith-Vein will produce along with Independent Spirit Awards nominees Gina Kwon and Sophia Lin.

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

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

Jersey Boys Auditions and Casting Calls

"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.

Story:

An adaptation of the hit Broadway musical "Jersey Boys: The Story of Frankie Vallie & The Four Seasons."
