N.H. Film Looks for Cast in Jeremy Robinson's Bestselling Novel

ROCHESTER — Rochester-based, bestselling author Jeremy Robinson is now accepting auditions for a short film, The Owl, to be directed by Robinson and Ken Dodge. The movie will be shot this fall, Oct. 17 through 19, and will be premiered locally, shown at film festivals around the world and used as a launch pad for a feature length film. The Owl tells the story of two men, George and Chris, as they track down Amanda, a little girl gone missing — or taken — in the dark woods of New Hampshire...where something inhuman lurks. Classic frights mixed with a character driven narrative.

“We’re looking to cast actors capable of a wide emotional range,” Robinson said when asked about potential actors, which include a middle aged man and woman, a 20-something man and a girl, age 10–14. “The characters will experience everything from light-hearted humor to abject terror, and it all needs to feel natural.”

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Auditions for Groot

In ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ the gentle arboreal thug Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel, only has one line: “I Am Groot”.

However, every time he says it, it carries a different meaning. Think of him as a (only very slightly) more eloquent Chewbacca. 

When we spoke to the cast, we wanted to know if any of the other actors could step in and cover for Vin for the sequel. 

We auditioned Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Karen Gillan, Dave Bautista and director James Gunn getting them to read the line.

But, as our exclusive video above proves, Vin Diesel proved to be very canny casting.

Chris Pratt’s take is absolutely priceless.

Just yesterday, we announced that Seth MacFarlane, Mark Wahlberg and Amanda Seyfried would be heading to Massachusetts this summer to film 'Ted 2,' rekindling the 2012 relationship between Mark Wahlberg's character and a stuffed teddy bear, Ted, who, after coming to life, has a penchant for dirty jokes and strippers.

Hundreds Flock to Tom Hanks' and Meg Ryan's 'Ithaca' Audition

Hundreds of boys and their parents answered the call Sunday afternoon — the casting call, that is — vying for a spot in the Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan movie “Ithaca,” which will be filmed in the Richmond area this summer.

The open casting call for the young hopefuls ages 4 to 14 was held at Art Works in South Richmond from 1 to 4 p.m., though staff expected it to run well into the evening.

mbrellas and lawn chairs (and a strategically placed Blue Bunny ice-cream truck) lined the building, wrapping around and then some farther south on Hull Street as the afternoon sun and humidity built up. Many waited for at least two hours before starting their auditions.

Many of the boys only knew Hanks as the voice of Woody in Pixar’s “Toy Story,” while many of their parents recalled his romantic comedy days with Ryan in “Sleepless in Seattle,” “You’ve Got Mail” and “Joe Versus the Volcano.”
