Calling all wannabe actors: Paris Hilton needs a co-star, and she's looking
for that co-star online. National Lampoon is teaming with TalentMatch.com to
host the film industry's first online casting call. Hilton will star in her
first feature film role working with at least one TalentMatch.com member who
will be awarded a speaking role in the upcoming film comedy National Lampoon's
Pledge This!.
TalentMatch.com members from anywhere in the world are able to register for participation in Pledge This! beginning today, and filming will begin this September in Miami. Juan Carlos Zapata, co-founder of Street Alien Pictures, and National Lampoon are producing.
In the film, Hilton will star as Victoria, the president of the Gamma Gamma Gamma sorority at South Beach University. It will tell the story of twenty female pledges of the most elite sorority on campus as they battle the girls of SASS - Sisters Against Stupid Sororities. The project will be filmed at the University of Miami, with physical production scheduled to begin later this summer.
If being cast from a website sounds too good to be true, it isn't. Online casting services are being used more and more. TalentMatch.com members have appeared in prime-time television programs, including The Sopranos and Law & Order. Aaron Fiore landed a leading role in Courage & Stupidity and is currently filming a M. Night Shyamalan film, The Village, scheduled for release this year.
