Vin Diesel is working on a new supernatural themed film, “The Last Witch Hunter”.
“The Last Witch Hunter” is about to begin filming in the Pittsburgh area. The production is scheduled to begin shooting on the 15th of this month and will continue filming through the fall and into the winter. There is an open casting call scheduled for “The Last Witch Hunter” in the Pittsburgh area later this week.
Currently, the films casting directors are looking for extras that are 18+. While this casting call is for background actors 18+ only, the production will be allowing people to bring a photo of their child for consideration.
Vin Diesel’s new supernatural action film will also star Rose Leslie. Rose Leslie just got killed off last season in “Game of Thrones“. Rose played Ygritte, Jon Snow’s wildling girlfriend. Rose Leslie has been cast to play the female lead of the witch who teams up with Diesel and becomes his love interest in the new film. Joining Leslie and Vin Dielsel are Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins from “Lord of the Rings trilogy”), Michael Caine and Ólafur Darri Ólafsson.
The story follows an immortal witch hunter, played by Diesel, in modern day times. In New York City an evil witch queen is about to release some serious evil on the human population. Vin Diesel partners up with his sworn enemy, another witch to stop the evil one.
Vin Diesel is also behind the camera on this project, he will be serving as one of the film’s producers as well. Also producing the film are Mark Canton, and Bernie Goldmann. The studio behind this project is Summit / Lionsgate (Divergent, Twilight, The Hunger Games). Screenrant reports that the film has been waiting for a greenlight from Summit for quite some time now… 2010. But they are good to go now and Pittsburgh area extras can get in on the action.
