PARAMOUNT PICTURES BEGINS NATIONWIDE CASTING SEARCH
FOR IDENTICAL TWIN BOYS, 9-11, TO PLAY LEAD ROLES IN
“THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES”



Paramount Pictures is seeking one pair of identical twin boys, Caucasian, aged 9-11 to play the lead roles in “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” a new fantasy film based on the best-selling series of books.  No acting experience is necessary.  

 

CONTACT: RDC CASTING, 1004 BATHURST STREET, TORONTO, ON, M5R 3G7 TEL: 416-929-6880 or CELL: 416-697-7024 EMAIL: nicolehf@canadafilm.com . DEADLINE – Thursday, March 30th.

 

The film will begin production in summer 2006. Please contact the office above to be signed in for auditions held in Toronto or to be given instructions on how to submit a casting tape from within Canada, but outside the Toronto area.


SYNOPSIS: When the three Grace children – troubled Jared; his bookish twin, Simon; and their sister, Mallory, a fencing jock – move to the ancient Spiderwick mansion, they are at first none-too-enchanted by the rundown Victorian… until they discover a Brownie, an enchanted creature, living in the walls.  They soon find a book – Arthur Spiderwick’s Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You – that will open their eyes to the invisible, odd, and sometimes dangerous world of dragons and boggarts, phookas and fairies, sprites and goblins that is all around them.  When they cross paths with Mulgarath, an ogre, they realize quickly that he will stop at nothing to get his hands on the Field Guide.  

 

Based on the best-selling series of books, “The Spiderwick Chronicles” is directed by Mark Waters (“Mean Girls,” “Freaky Friday”). Waters said, “We’re opening up the ‘Spiderwick’ casting experience.  We really are looking for an unknown pair of kids. (Please contact the casting office above to find out what you need to do to make an audition tape and mail it to us.)  You never know – you might be just what we’re looking for.”


Paramount Pictures presents a Nickelodeon Movies/Artists Production Group production, “The Spiderwick Chronicles.”  Directed by Mark Waters, the screenwriters are David Berenbaum, Brent Forrester, and John Sayles.  The producers are Mark Canton, Julia Pistor, Ellen Goldsmith Vein, and Gregory Goodman.  The executive producers are Tony Di Terlizzi and Holly Black.
