So you want to be in a scifi movie?

I don't really stay on top of film casting announcements because, frankly, I don't act and there are way too many movie projects in production.

Nonetheless, [url=http://www.backstage.com/bso/production-listings/los-angeles-production-listings-1004003564.story]Backstage[/url] published a few interesting tidbits that I thought I would pass on.

"John Carter of Mars" begins filming in January 2010
Casting: Marcia Ross, Marcia Ross Casting, 500 S. Buena Vista, St. 210-D, Team Disney Bldg., Burbank, CA 91521.

Be prepared to travel to and live in Utah, I would guess (but I don't really know).

Other projects listed include:
"The A-Team"
