Do you wanna be a movie star? Like, duh – course you fuggen do! So, why not check out the world’s biggest open casting call, inviting anyone aspiring to stardom to audition for roles in a feature film?
Bethemoviestar.com allows site visitors to send in 30 second video clips of themselves auditioning for a role in a thriller called, rather unthrillingly, The Prayer Book. The film will then be released in cinemas around the chuffing globe.
Or at least that’s what the folks behind it (Tony Klinger and Steve Nesbit) are saying – but then, they’re hardly gonna say the flick’s destined for the dumper, are they?
Stars of shortlisted clips will apparently be whisked to London in May for an acting boot camp and to face challenges such as screen tests and, more worryingly, stunt driving lessons – all of which will be put up to the public vote online. Hell, why even bother making the movie, eh?
