Child Talent search for lead role in upcoming movie “The Legacy of the Whitetail Deer Hunter” – Open auditions for kids.
The search is on for the lead role in Danny McBride’s and Jody Hill’s new film “The Legend of the Whitetail Deer Hunter“. The film is scheduled to go into production this October and will be filming in the North Carolina area this fall and winter. “The Legacy of the Whitetail Deer Hunter” will be directed by Jody Hill (Eastbound and Down).
Casting directors are seeking a child actor for the lead role. No acting experience is required. The character’s name is Jaden and he is described as a 10 to 13 year old southern boy with a great sense of humor and a gift for telling stories.
“The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter” will star Danny McBride and Josh Brolin. The story behind “The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter” has been under wraps but this casting call suggests that there will be a father / son hunting trip involved. According to a Deadline report, McBride, David Gordon Green, Carcieri and Lila Yacoub are executive producing the film and the script is written Jody Hill, Danny McBride, and John Carcieri. You may also check the movie’s IMDB page for any new information about the project.
Kids auditions for the lead role of JADEN:
11-14 y/o BOY to be the lead of feature film “The Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter.” JADEN is confident & considers himself to be pretty cool, but there’s definitely an awkward 6th grade boy quality that’s hard to miss. Forced to go on a road trip with his father, Jaden would rather be anywhere but. We are VERY open to kids that have no experience.
The project is being produced by Rough House which is Danny McBride, Jody Hill and David Gordon Green. This is the same team that was behind HBO’s hit comedy series Eastbound & Down. The team also has another HBO comedy in the works, “Vice Principals,“ which has also been filming recently.
Open auditions will be held in Macon, GA and Myrtle Beach SC next month.
Talent does not need to make an appointment but do need to bring a recent picture or headshot with them. Kids and their parents interested in trying out for the role may simply attend the auditions which will be held in Asheville, NC. Please see the casting notice below for further details about the role and the upcoming auditions for kids.
Fincannon & Associates Casting, a NC based Emmy award winning motion picture casting company, is hosting open casting calls looking for a 10-13 YEAR OLD BOY to play the son of actor Josh Brolin in an upcoming major motion picture. The film will be shot in the South, stars Josh Brolin and Danny McBride and will be directed by Jody Hill, who also directed Eastbound & Down and Observe & Report.
“No acting experience is necessary,” explains Lisa Mae Fincannon, Casting Director on the project. “We are looking for very real, southern young talent who have a gift for telling stories and being themselves in front of the camera…a great sense of humor helps as well! Jaden (our 10-13 year old boy) is confident and considers himself to be pretty cool, while having a 6th grade real boy quality. He is supposed to be bonding with his father on a hunting trip, but Jaden wants to do anything but!”
