ABE'S TOMB II Casting Call

 

 

Carl Merritt Productions, L.L.C. will be holding an open casting call for the movie, ABE’S TOMB II on May 18, 2008 at Barnes & Noble Bookstore (Across from Fairfield Commons Mall in Fairborn ) at 2:00 PM .  

COMPENSATION:  

The roles to be filled are non-paid roles.  Carl Merritt Productions, L.L.C. does not pay extras, or those with minor roles, and that’s what the remaining open roles are . . . basically minor roles or else extras that may not even have lines.  

So, as with the vast majority of non-union films, compensation will be credit, a copy of the finished movie, food, exposure and a lot of fun.  

ABOUT OUR FIRST MOVIE:  

The first ABE’S TOMB movie was filmed in standard definition and with substandard equipment in 2006.  Still, it won seven awards out of six film festivals in 2007, including Best Feature, Best Actress, Best Director and more.  Later, it went on to achieve worldwide distribution – release date: August, 2008.  ABE’S TOMB II will be shot in HD with much better equipment, and is expected to do even BETTER at film festivals.  Worldwide exposure and distribution for our second movie is nearly certain, unless, of course, our distributor suddenly decides to go out-of-business.  

ABOUT THE FILM:  

Going with the distributor’s wishes, ABE’S TOMB II, will be much bloodier than the original movie.  It will also be much sexier.  Whereas ABE’S TOMB I was filmed with children in mind, ABE’S TOMB II will have adult situations, the language will be much harsher, and there will be some of the sexiest ladies on the planet playing the parts of man-hating vampires.  There will be no sex in this movie, nor will there be even partial nudity.  

LOCATIONS:  

The vast majority of the second movie will be filmed within fifty miles of Dayton , Ohio .  Locations include local business offices, a castle, area stores and, along with similar locations, The Village of Spring Valley, Ohio.  

DATES:  

The exact production schedule is up in the air right now, however, the winter scenes are complete, and main production is to begin in the Dayton area on Sunday, June 29, 2008 and is expected to take approximately two weeks.  During this time, actors only need to be present on the days their scenes are scheduled to be shot.  

PARTS NEEDED TO BE FILLED:  

National Guard Soldiers: Five (5) actors needed for these parts, either male or female.  Uniforms, weapons and accessories will be furnished.  Actors/actresses must be well groomed, in shape and able to portray members of the American military.  No face jewelry, no long hair, no body fat, no facial hair except possibly a well-trimmed mustache and must be between the ages of 18 – 30.  Uniforms will be provided, so waist size must not exceed 34 in, preferably less.   

Gun Store Employee: Need one (1) actress for this part.  Age must be between 18 – 25, and must be sexy as hell.  This actress will die in a vicious vampire attack scene.  

Gun Store Customer: Need one (1) actress for this part.  Age must be between 18 – 25, and must be sexy as hell.  This role has a hidden benefit that will be explained at a later date.  Actress must be able to lay perfectly still (playing dead) while still maintaining the sexy look for at least one minute.  

Drive Thru Owner: Need one (1) male actor for this part.  Preferable age is over 40, though will consider others if talent merits consideration.  

Drive Thru Employee: Need one (1) actress for this part.  Age must be between 18 – 25, and must be both innocent-looking and a drop-dead beautiful girl.  This scene will be of an adult nature, however, no sex and not even partial nudity.  

Deranged Rapist: Need one (1) male actor for this role.  The ultimate “tough guy” needed.  Age can be anything between 18 – 45.  In addition to playing the part of a rapist, this person will also be the victim in a bloody death scene.  An “evil-looking” appearance a definite plus, and being able to take a hard hit from a beautiful lady would also be helpful...  

Army Colonel:  Male.  You know the type – no nonsense and official.  That’s what we need.  Actor must be well groomed, in shape and able to portray a member of the American military.  No face jewelry, no long hair, no body fat, no facial hair except possibly a well-trimmed mustache and must be between the ages of 40 – 50.   Minor role, only in the very beginning of the movie.  Uniform will be provided, so waist size must not exceed 34 in.   

Sexy Vampires:  Most of these parts will be filled by The Ohio Bikini Team, however, there is a need for a large number of “extra” vampires.  Age must be between 18 – 25, and must be the drop-dead type of lady.  Again, these parts will require no sex and not even partial nudity.  However, be prepared to wear the sexiest outfits known to mankind.
