NAME OF PRODUCTION:
Beyond The Rave
Hannah Birkett is casting for BEYOND THE
RAVE, the first Hammer Horror production in
some 20 years and is feature length but will
be released episodically via the internet.
Casting: Thursday 16th & Friday 17th
August 2007.
Rehearsal/Shoot: Please refer to
each individual character.
Rate: £100 per rehearsal/shoot day
including agency fee.
If you have any household names for the
roles of Tooley and Leopold please do
suggest them & we can negotiate a suitable
fee.
We are looking for the following:
NECRO
Really important part. Best friend of Ed
(lead character), Necro is a bit of a loser
but who is kind at heart. Necro is a bit of
a joker but essentially a normal, everyday
lad, keen to find someone to love (and he
falls for someone in the film).
We’d love to see dark haired, skinny;
slightly haunting guys aged around 20 (could
be a young Tim Burton type).
Must be available for the whole of September
for rehearsals & shoot.
TOOLEY
The don of all drug users. He’s an old drug
dealer who seems to have lost his mind - but
is the only man in town who realises that
vampires are around. He lives in a dirty
squat. Good cameo role. Has his own
featured episode. Perfect for a great
character actor.
We need to feel with him that he has
indulged in years of regular drug use. Think
Keith Richards from the rolling stones or
someone like this:
LEOPOLD
A drugged out vampire, who kills two ravers
after offering them a hit on his
chillum. Has his own featured episode.
This is a great role for an old established
character actor in the vibe of Anthony
Hopkins (eyes intense and filled with the
wisdom of a thousand years) or maybe quirky
like Dominique Pinon - see http://www.vaulxfilmcourt.com/photos/PINONDominique.jpg Could
be aged between 40-70.
Must be available on September 27th.
BELIAL
A hyperactive, loquacious
vampire. Inseparable with Strigoi, who will
be played by Rick Warden (Band of Brothers)
so it might be nice if they have some
physical similarities. He’s quite
flamboyant, exuberant, and maybe even
sexy. Aged around 30.
Must be available on Sept 7th & 11th
BIG JIM
Large bouncer at a nightclub. In love with
a woman in the film. One of the gang of
friends. Age 18-30. Should be big but
likable. A loveable bear.
Must be available on
September 5th,7th,10th,12th,13th,14th,17th,18th,19th,21st,22nd
& 26th
ED'S DAD
The father of the lead character, this is a
great character role for an intimidating,
gravelly voiced actor. He’s in his fifties,
big, hard & a local warrior legend. Stern.
Authoritative. Right wing. Bloodshot eyes
(because he is always drunk). Has his own
featured episode.
Must be available on September 10th.
JEN'S MUM
Mother of a 20 year old girl. Suburban,
worried & normal, aged 40-50 years old.
Must be available on September 10th
Pipsqueak Chav:
Aged 10 to a young looking 14. A miniature
Chav. Must be available on September 15th.
