Casting call for TV pilot “The Interestings“
Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire director Mike Newell has a new TV series in the works for Amazon. The new show called “The Interestings,” is now filming the pilot in the NYC area and is in need of NYC area background actors to fill some specialty roles. The show’s extras casting directors with GWC in NYC are seeking locals who own some 80s cars and would like to make some extra cash as TV show extras. By the way, the car gets paid to!
“The Interestings” is based on Meg Wolitzer’s bestselling book about a tight group of friends who meet when they are all teens at a camp in the mid 70s. The show follows them over the course of the next 3 decades chronicling the realities of their lives as their youth slips away and middle age crawls in. The new Amazon show is written by Lyn Greene and Richard Levine (Nip / Tuck) and is described by Deadline as a grounded, character-driven drama.
“The Interestings” – The summer that Nixon resigns, six teenagers at a summer camp for the arts become inseparable. Decades later the bond remains powerful, but so much else has changed. In The Interestings, Wolitzer follows these characters from the height of youth through middle age, as their talents, fortunes, and degrees of satisfaction diverge. – GoodReads
