Child Auditions for Steven Spielberg Movie

Three time Academy Award winning and perhaps the most well known director of our time, Steven Spielberg is looking to fill the lead role in his upcoming film , “The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara. This is a rare opportunity to submit for a lead role in a Hollywood blockbuster movie! We all know Mr. Spielberg’s movies tend to get nominated for the top film awards.

The movie will tell the the true story of Edgardo Mortara – a 6 year old Jewish boy from Bologna who was reported to have been secretly baptized by a maid, and was deemed by the Catholic church therefore to be Christian. Pope Pius IX (to be played by Mark Rylance) decreed that the boy could not remain with his Jewish family. He was seized by the Papal State and taken to the Vatican where his indoctrination into Catholicism began. This was a cause célèbre of mid-nineteenth century European politics and the domestic and international outrage against the pontifical state’s actions may have contributed to its downfall amid the unification of Italy. This is an incredible story of real historical relevance.

Casting directors are looking to fill a boy ages six to nine years old to portray a six year old. They are seeking a boy who appears to be a Jewish Italian child. They are seeking kids nationwide except for in the areas of New York and Los Angeles (different casting directors are handling those roles). This is a SAG paid movie.

“THE KIDNAPPING OF EDGARDO MORTARA” Casting Call

EDGARDO — BOY age 6-9 to play 6 years old. This is a unique and very challenging part for a truly special boy.

HE SHOULD APPEAR TO BE A JEWISH ITALIAN child. We are not looking for any kind of Italian accent. LEAD.

Disney Movie Lead Role Auditions

The opportunity of a lifetime is here! Disney is now casting lead roles for their new movie “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms”! Disney is making the famous ballet into a live action film. Disney is now casting for the lead role of Clara. The take on the classic talent will be based on the story ‘The Nutcracker and the Mouse King’ written by E.T.A. Hoffman. The classic story told of a young girl named Clara who receives a nutcracker doll from her godfather on Christmas Eve. When she goes to check on it later that night, the clock strikes midnight, and she finds herself thrust into a fantastical world where she is in the middle of a war between gingerbread soldiers and an army of mice, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Casting directors for Disney are looking for a female actress between the ages of 13 and 17 years old. Actresses can be any ethnicity and height.

Clara (Female) – aged 13-17 years

Lead role

Clever, creative and independent, Clara goes against female societal conventions of the period. At the beginning of the story she is lacking in confidence, struggling to cope with the death of her mother and trying to find her footing in the adult world. Uninterested in beauty and fashion, Clara is most herself when inventing contraptions and going on adventures; she is most comfortable in her own imagination. As she grows through the film we find her to be self sufficient, strong willed, curious, witty, inventive and ultimately confident in herself. She can be any height or ethnicity.

If you fit the role and would like to be considered, email a recent photo and contact details to lucybevancasting@gmail.com If you have an acting resume or acting experience you may include that as well. The movie is slated to begin filming this fall.
