Yesterday I attended a cattle call for a new Warner Bros. feature project called “The Town“. This will be an adaptation of the dark, heist-romance novel Prince of Thieves written by Chuck Hogan. Apparently Ben Affleck is slated to rewrite, star in and direct the film.
Pleasantly, the audition was well-run! Sometimes these massive calls that screen everyone from all ends of the earth can result in manifest mayhem. But, there were many assistants on hand, many more in attendance and an efficient queue system. I filled out the requisite paperwork, picked up the sheet with dialogue and stepped over to the photo location for a quick pic. Then, I took a moment to review the lines before stepping into another queue.

(C’mon guys! I would be great!)

It looks like a potentially riveting read with hints of salaciousness, especially fresh off the heels of Bringing Down the House. True, I would have been great as Jill Taylor in the screen adaptation, 21, but that didn’t work out. However, I see a potential second-chance: the upcoming film adaptation of Accidental Billionaires!
While the book may not please every party out there (not many books do), it’s sure to be a scintillating tale visually. So I’m asking you to please consider me for your acting needs in this next film project. I’m an accomplished actress with sound technique, a stalwart work ethic, a great personality, a unique look and much talent to book – er, boot. I’m certain the script may not yet be … Read more »
