Disney's National Casting Call for John/Paul/George/Ringo at  BEATexpo Nov.
28-29
Connecticut: "_BEATexpo 2009_ (http://toursandevents.com/BEATexpo.htm) ,"
coming  to the Downtown Stamford Holiday Inn in Stamford, CT on November
28-29,  currently boasts a wonderful guest-list, some fine tribute bands, a
memorabilia  marketplace and other worthy convention attractions. Now the event
has one  other amazing element to it: a motion picture casting call. But not
just any  casting call, this is the national audition for the upcoming
remake of  the Fab Four film being produced by Disney. They are not looking for
singers, as the film is using 16 original Beatles tracks, but they are
seeking  four actors to play the leads who resemble or can imitate, or have the
mannerisms and idiosyncrasies of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr.
Aspiring  actors and stars from all over the world should turn up for this
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a Beatle in what will undoubtedly be the
  biggest animated film of the year.
Casting call times are Saturday, Nov. 28 from 10am-6pm, and Sunday, Nov.
29 from noon-8pm as part of the convention being held at the Downtown
Stamford Holiday Inn, 700 E. Main Street, Stamford, Conn (in the Shippan Point
Room).
Directed  by Robert Zemeckis, this film will be done in the Motion Capture
technique that has been  used in features such as BEOWULF, THE POLAR
EXPRESS, A CHRISTMAS CAROL and  MONSTER HOUSE. The human characters will
resemble
the Fab Four and not the  particular actor playing the role.  For all of the
characters, we will capture not only the actor's voice but  also physical
performance in incredible detail. The captured performance then  drives the
computer-generated character in the final screen image. The actor's  actual
performance is very non-technical and liberating and is rehearsed and
performed in a studio like a play.
FOR AUDITION, PLEASE CHOOSE THE ROLE THAT YOU BEST  EMBODY:

[JOHN]  20-45, British Accent (Liverpool)…LEAD ROLE

[PAUL]  20-45, British Accent (Liverpool)…LEAD ROLE

[GEORGE]  20-45, British Accent (Liverpool)…LEAD ROLE

[RINGO]  20-45, British Accent (Liverpool)…LEAD  ROLE
Those  auditioning will be portraying characters between ages 20-45. Actors
should come  dressed appropriately for the late 60’s era and come in
character with required  accents and mannerisms. For research material and
audition scenes, visit the  blog: _http://fabfourcasting.blogspot.com_

Currently  being billed as an untitled "Fab 4 Project," there were previous
  reports that this movie was to be a remake of "Yellow Submarine" in  3-D.



This  casting call for the four leads is just one element, albeit a unique
and  exciting one, of this special event for fans. For further information

casting call itself), contact (203) 795-4737 or visit
