Kids Casting Call Announced For Featured Roles On “Popular 80’s Netflix Series”

Written by Patti Pauley

On the heels of yesterday’s jaw-dropping Super Bowl teaser trailer for the second season of the Netflix treasure Stranger Things, we now have more news which may or may not be in regards to one of the best things to come out of the movie streaming service in recent memory.

The casting call bulletin site Project Casting, has just put out an announcement per Casting TaylorMade, that casting directors are looking for particular kid actors for “very featured roles for a popular Netflix series set it in the 1980s.” They aren’t specifically stating that is indeed for Stranger Things. However, it’s a bit to hard to convince me otherwise that it isn’t for the nostalgia-induced, series smash.

 

The casting directors are looking for kid actors that fit their criteria in the state of Georgia in particular. Which in the case you may not know, Jackson, Georgia serves as the stand-in backdrop for the faux city of Hawkins, Indiana in Stranger Things. And again with season two, the cast and crew are returning to the city that sits about 50 miles southeast of Atlanta for filming. Also note, many times these casting call companies refrain from mentioning the name of the project when putting out bulletins for roles in an attempt to garner a more authentic audition in the selection process.

 

Per the announcement, casting directors are searching for Indian girls ages 8 to 10 years old with acting experience, along with identical toddler girls. The site notes that filming will take place in early February.

 

Here’s the rundown in specifics:

1) INDIAN GIRL AGE 8-10 YEARS OF AGE
MORE DETAILS WILL BE GIVEN IF WE ARE INTERESTED IN AUDITIONING YOUR CHILD.
ACTING EXPERIENCE IS A PLUS (BUT NO NECESSARY), PLEASE INCLUDE ANY EXPERIENCE OR TRAINING IN YOUR EMAIL.
SHOOT DATE: THURSDAY, 2/9 AND/OR FRIDAY, 2/10
LOCATION: TBD, ATLANTA, GA OR SURROUNDING CITIES
FITTING DATE: MONDAY OR TUESDAY (next week)
SUBJECT LINE: INDIAN GIRL

2) BRUNETTE TODDLER IDENTICAL TWIN GIRLS
IDENTICAL TWIN TODDLER GIRLS / BRUNETTE HAIR / AGES 1.5 – 3 YEARS OF AGE / MUST BE ABLE TO WALK!
MORE DETAILS WILL BE GIVEN IF WE ARE INTERESTED IN USING THEM FOR THIS.
LOCATION: TBD, ATLANTA, GA OR SURROUNDING CITIES
SHOOT DATE: THURSDAY, 2/9 AND/OR FRIDAY, 2/10
FITTING DATE: MONDAY OR TUESDAY (next week)
SUBJECT LINE: BRUNETTE TWINS

 

If your children fit this criteria and again, are Georgia based, then your little spawn(s), could be possibly saving humanity from the Thessalhydra alongside Eleven and friends if this announcement is indeed connected to Stranger Things; and it pretty much looks like it is. Submissions should be via email to [email protected] with the proper documentation. You can view the entire announcement and what you will need to apply by clicking here.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
