‘Halloween’ Film Needs Extras

Published

on

Would you like to appear in the new Halloween film?  Are you near the sequel’s filming location, Charleston, South Carolina, or can you travel there within the next two weeks?

Filming on the Halloween sequel officially began this week, and it seems as if the production has hit a bit of a snag.  The production needs more extras than they expected, and they are seeking approximately sixty extras to pose as high school students for one of the first scenes being shot for the film, which has been described as “an alternate reality reboot” of the classic 1978 film Halloween.

The local casting agency hired by the production is specifically looking for submissions from teenagers who are between the ages of fifteen and nineteen and have some dancing ability, as they will appear in a party scene that will be filmed on January 24.  The casting agency, which is accepting applications from all races of people, is currently looking for bookish-looking teens, Gothic-types, and others who are genuinely unique.

For the purpose of continuity, the student extras might be needed for additional days.  In addition to the need for student extras, the production is also seeking general extras of all ages, descriptions, and races.

In addition to extras, the casting agency is looking for actual coroners, EMTs, law enforcement officers, mechanics, and photographers.  All applicants must include two photos (a head-shot and a full-length picture), their name, age, phone number, city and state of residence, height and weight, clothing sizes, and a description and location of any tattoos they might have.

Photos may be taken with a cell-phone.  If any would-be extras have their own vehicles, the year, color, make, and model should be listed in the application.

All applicants should send their applications by email TO THIS ADDRESS.  The header on the email should include ethnicity, gender, age, city, and state of residence.

Star Jamie Lee Curtis made her way to Charleston approximately one week ago.  Curtis is joined on location by co-star Judy Greer, who plays Laurie Strode’s daughter, Karen, and Andi Matichak, who plays Laurie’s granddaughter, Allyson, and Nick Castle, who is returning to the role of Michael Myers after approximately forty years.

The Halloween reboot/sequel film will be released on October 19, 2018.

Radio Silence No Longer Attached to ‘Escape From New York’

Published

on

Radio Silence has certainly had its ups and downs over the past year. First, they said they wouldn’t be directing another sequel to Scream, but their movie Abigail became a box office hit among critics and fans. Now, according to Comicbook.com, they won’t be pursuing the Escape From New York reboot that was announced late last year.

 Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin are the duo behind the directing/production team. They talked with Comicbook.com and when questioned about Escape From New York project, Gillett gave this answer:

“We are not, unfortunately. I think titles like that bounce around for a while and I think they’ve tried to get that out of the blocks a few times. I think it’s just ultimately a tricky rights issue thing. There’s a clock on it and we just weren’t in a position to make the clock, ultimately. But who knows? I think, in hindsight, it feels crazy that we would think we would, post-Scream, step into a John Carpenter franchise. You never know. There’s still interest in it and we’ve had a few conversations about it but we’re not attached in any official capacity.”

Radio Silence has yet to announce any of its upcoming projects.

Shelter in Place, New ‘A Quiet Place: Day One’ Trailer Drops

Published

on

The third installment of the A Quiet Place franchise is set to release only in theaters on June 28. Even though this one is minus John Krasinski and Emily Blunt, it still looks terrifyingly magnificent.

This entry is said to be a spin-off and not a sequel to the series, although it’s technically more a prequel. The wonderful Lupita Nyong’o takes center stage in this movie, along with Joseph Quinn as they navigate through New York City under siege by bloodthirsty aliens.

The official synopsis, as if we need one, is “Experience the day the world went quiet.” This, of course, refers to the quick-moving aliens who are blind but have an enhanced sense of hearing.

Under the direction of Michael Sarnoski (Pig) this apocalyptic suspense thriller will be released the same day as the first chapter in Kevin Costner’s three-part epic western Horizon: An American Saga.

Which one will you see first?

Rob Zombie Joins McFarlane Figurine’s “Music Maniacs” Line

Rob Zombie is joining the growing cast of horror music legends for McFarlane collectibles. The toy company, headed by Todd McFarlane, has been doing its Movie Maniacs line since 1998, and this year they have created a new series called Music Maniacs. This includes legendary musicians, Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, and Trooper Eddie from Iron Maiden.

Adding to that iconic list is director Rob Zombie formerly of the band White Zombie. Yesterday, via Instagram, Zombie posted that his likeness will join the Music Maniacs line. The “Dracula” music video inspires his pose.

This won’t be the first time Zombie has been featured with the company. Back in 2000, his likeness was the inspiration for a “Super Stage” edition where he is equipped with hydraulic claws in a diorama made of stones and human skulls.

For now, McFarlane’s Music Maniacs collection is only available for pre-order. The Zombie figure is limited to only 6,200 pieces. Pre-order yours at the McFarlane Toys website.
