Casting call for Legacy


ALCATEL ONE TOUCH, Unstoppable Entertainment and Think Big Productions, would like to announce a UK search for young people to star in the upcoming movie event “LEGACY”.

Exec Produced by Noel Clarke (4.3.2.1, The Anomaly) and Jason Maza (The Knot, The Hooligan Factory) LEGACY tells the story of five teenagers and the ultimate party of the year. We are looking for five young actors to play the leading roles in the new film set to be released early 2014.

The production team will be conducting a nationwide search to find the five stars of the movie. Auditions will be being held in London, Nottingham, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

So if you’re between the ages of 17 to 22 and have ever considered yourself as a budding actor, please go to https://www.facebook.com/LegacyMovieUK for details on how to apply.

CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS

Sean Mason: 16 Years Old, (Black/ Mixed race) The unspoken leader of the group. A diamond in the rough showing obvious leadership qualities, but without being pushy or aggressive. Academically intelligent but doesn’t play on it. Sensible but still struggles with the churning emotions of adolescence. He has been besotted with DANI for as long as he can remember.

Dani: 16 Years old, (White) Strong willed, fierce, aggressive yet still lovable, she is protective and more than a match for the groups’ machismo. She’s an attractive tomboy with deep-rooted femininity issues exacerbated by her elder sister YASMIN. Has known SEAN since they were in Primary school together.

P.J.: The youngest member of the group but an undeniably confident, fast-­‐talking, street slanging, failed womanizer. A compulsive exaggerator who puts people down to make himself feel better. Feels he is Sean’s best friend.

Cameron: 16 Years Old, he’s a socially awkward technological genius and hopeless romantic. The most put upon member of the group. He’s closest to BEN after being saved by him from a beating. His intelligence is never outwardly valued, but always utilized.

Ben: 16 Years Old, he’s a big bellied, big-hearted pacifist, he’s the calm in the storm of the group. The one member that everyone loves without question. Professional food lover.

Not overly smart.


LEGACY SYNOPSIS

Mark Wahlberg joins Transformers 4

HOLLYWOOD, CA (November 8, 2012) – After an exceptionally successful collaboration on the upcoming "Pain and Gain," Michael Bay has cast Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg in the highly anticipated “TRANSFORMERS 4.” The film will hit theaters June 27th, 2014.

"Mark is awesome. We had a blast working on “Pain and Gain” and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to re-invigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy,” said Bay.

Bay will direct the next installment in the “TRANSFORMERS” series, which begins shooting next spring. From Paramount Pictures, a division of Viacom, Inc., in association with Hasbro, the film will be produced by Don Murphy & Tom DeSanto, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Ian Bryce, and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Bay, Brian Goldner and Mark Vahradian.

Bay’s first “TRANSFORMERS” film was a box office sensation in 2007, opening at #1 and earning more than $700 million worldwide.  His second installment “TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN” in 2009 grossed more than $830 million worldwide. In 2011, “TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON” was an even bigger hit worldwide, grossing more than a billion dollars to become the 5th highest grossing film of all time. To date, the franchise has earned more than $2.6 billion worldwide.

From acclaimed director Michael Bay comes "Pain and Gain," a new action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson and Anthony Mackie. Based on the unbelievable true story of three personal trainers in 1990s Miami who, in pursuit of the American Dream, get caught up in a criminal enterprise that goes horribly wrong. Ed Harris, Tony Shalhoub, Rob Corddry, Rebel Wilson and Bar Paly also star. The film is based on magazine articles by Pete Collins, with a screenplay by Christopher Markus & Stephen McFeely and produced by Donald DeLine, Michael Bay and Ian Bryce.
