OCC: My character, Keith Karmaze, is a casting agent for a major production company. He has been hired to cast -- from the main characters to the extras -- for an epic production with Oscar written all over it. The buzz is very high. Every actor in Hollywood -- from the famous to the want-to-be famous -- want in on this film. They'll do anything to be a part of it. Keith Karmaze can barely even walk down the street without being flooded by portfolios and audition tapes. What people will do to be a part of this film! It could be a career-maker!
OCC: I'm leaving the plot of the film itself completely open. Your characters can either just try to get any part in this film or they can try for a particular role, which you can create. (Let's see what kind of film we're making by the characters/plotlines you come up with . . . ) Your characters can be dignified ACTORS or celebrities willing to fight tooth-and-nail to keep that celebrity or unknowns who just want that big break. What will they do to be a part of this film?

The call has gone out. Today's VARIETY, which has our casting call for the film AMAZON, is out on the street. We've been getting calls from agents who've heard about this for months. All of them want a piece of this film for their clients, but we've kept our mouths firmly shut. We only want those who want it the most to be a part of this film. Of course, we have to have our share of big names, to pacify the studio heads. But there are plenty of character parts available to unknowns. Its going to be a hectic time of casting. Anything can happen -- and will happen, as my previous casting experiences have shown me.
I've had just about every kind of wooing imaginable in my career so far. When I was casting GOODFELLAS for Scorsese, Ray Liotta sent me a big plate of his mother canoli. While casting BASIC INSTINCT, I used the soon-to-be-famous interrogation scene as my audition. You should have seen the group of women willing to show me their bikini waxes. And I won't even go into the SHOWGIRLS auditions!
My first round of open auditions begins this afternoon, but I know that my phone will be ringing off the hook this morning with agents and celebrities. I've got my eye on a few actors and actresses for the two main characters. Of course everyone wants these for their lead! Brad Pitt. Tom Cruise. Russell Crowe. Julia Roberts. Winona Ryder. Cameron Diaz. I'll have to give their agents a call this morning to get a feeler on them. But who knows who else will stop by. And I can't even imagine what my lunch at Spago will be like!
Oh well... let the wild ride begin!
