Message from a movie casting office

Webmaster · 09-28-2007, 12:38 PM

I got the below via email. I cannot vouch for it and have no idea if it is for real, but I decided to post it anyway in case someone wants to check it out:

=============
I work in a casting office in Albuquerque NM and we are looking for a man at least 500 pounds for a speaking role in a feature film. This is a big budget movie, the pay is $759.00 for the day. If this man is immobile, we will travel to him should he get cast in the role. We are having a really hard time finding someone big enough to please our production team. We realize there are health concerns with someone of this size, so we will do whatever we need to do to on our end. Can you please recommend this to someone. I can't figure out how to start a new thread on the message board.
thanks,
Marie

I found more info on it (unverified):

Film New Mexico bulletin board listing

IMDB movie listing

"Game is a near-future action/thriller starring Gerard Butler (Kable) as the champion of an on-line game called "Slayers". Mind-control technology has taken society by storm and "Slayers" allows humans control other humans in mass-scale, multiplayer online game. With his every move tracked by millions, Kable's ultimate challenge becomes regaining his identity and launching an attack on the system that has imprisoned him."

I dont know..the fact that they are using a yahoo email makes it sketchy to me. I mean..if you're actually part of a company making a movie and such...you'd think you'd have an actual company email...

but thats just me.
