Release Summary: Emirates Airline has announced that it is looking
online to cast people to star in a short movie entitled The Exposure
of Tom King.
Press
Release Body: To celebrate the launch of their new route direct
between Dubai and the home of movies and cinema, Los Angeles,
Emirates Airline is giving people the opportunity
to star in an L.A. movie.
The
short movie, which is called ‘The Exposure of Tom
King’, has already been shot in L.A., but with
absolutely no people in it whatsoever. The next step in this unconventional
filming process involves Emirates
quest to find the correct cast to star in the film.
They
are inviting people from all around the world to audition for
a role online, via their webcam, at the new The
Exposure of Tom King
website. The site uses bluescreen technology to enable audition
footage to be placed within scenes of the movie making the new
film the first movie of its kind.
Emirates Airline have enlisted the help of top Hollywood
casting director Avy Kaufman, who will be in
charge of the casting to ensure the best people are found for
each of the main roles. Avy Kaufman is highly
regarded within the film industry, having been involved in the
casting industry for over 20 years, and with over a hundred film
credits to her name, including the Sixth Sense, The Bourne Ultimatum,
the Thomas Crown Affair and Brokeback Mountain.
Visitors
to the website can create their own movie trailers, watch all
the auditions for the movie so far or choose to audition for a
role. The final Emirates
film will have a cast from all around the world who
have never met, but will be sharing scenes together and acting
via their webcams.
Auditions
will be taking place until the 26th of October with the premiere
taking place shortly afterward on the 7th November 2008.
