CARMEL, Ind. – RACSO Motion Pictures has announced a general casting call to all interested candidates for the fan-based production titled “Fall Of Gotham”. Production is scheduled to begin over the summer of 2010, and stars NBC’s American Gladiator Jamie “Fury” Reed.
The fan-based production follows in the style and motif of the last two Batman films, and introduces a beloved DC Comic Character, Wonder Woman, to the modern day Gotham City. Writer/Director Christopher Allen says that Wonder Woman is a “reboot” of the celebrated character, and is given an entirely new look in “Fall of Gotham”.
“Fanfilms, or what I like to call ‘fan based productions’, are a great way for actors to be seen.” said Christopher Allen, producer of the award winning Star Trek vs. Batman film. “In this business, its about exposure and getting seen. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.” Allen went on to add. The positions are non-union and with no pay.
Originally from Madison, Indiana, Allen has been actively involved in the Indiana film scene since launching RACSO in 1993. His previous films include “Quantum Leap: A Leap To Di For”, “A Time for the Heart”, and “Star Trek vs. Batman” (*First place winner of the RadCon Film Festival in Seattle, WA). Jamie “Fury” Reed-Kovac from NBC’s American Gladiator has agreed to star in this film, and Allen hopes to attract one more name to the show. “Just a few years ago, fan based productions were generally laughed at and amateurish. Now, they’ve attained a huge amount of credibility considering it takes the studios two to three years to turn around content.” said Allen.
Interested actors are encouraged to visit www.fallofgotham.com for submission guidelines and character descriptions. Once all the materials have been submitted, selected actors will be sent sides (for their consideration) as well as to arrange an audition date and time.
