20th Century Fox is now in pre-production on the feature film "Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules", which is based on Jeff Kinney's second illustrated novel about wise-cracking junior high school student Greg Heffley. Kinney works full-time as a writer and designer of online games such as the kid-friendly website Poptropica. Zachary Gordon was hired to play the role of Greg Heffley after an extensive 9-month talent search through an Online Open Casting Call.
The first adaptation, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, was released on March 19, 2010 and has grossed over $63 million at the Box Office in the USA, and the novel has sold over 28 million copies. That film hits the big screen in the UK on August 27, 2010.
The upcoming second live-action adaptation is about Greg Heffley, his older brother Rodrick, and the school talent show. If the film does well at the box office, it is likely 20th Century Fox will continue the series.
Casting call and auditions information is being posted on the following blog:
Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2 Auditions
Here is a list of Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid novels:
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw
- Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days
There is also a "Do It Yourself" activities book, and a "The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary" which is a movie tie-in book about the making of the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie.
David Bowers, who is known for directing animated films such as Flushed Away and Astro Boy, has signed on to direct. This will be Bowers first live action movie.
Rodrick Rules will begin shooting in August, 2010 in Vancouver, and has a release date set for March 25, 2011.

hey, my name is kate jones, i would love to audition for the part of Holly Hills, but my mum said no!.
so, i cant, she said next time.
i love to act and sing.
and im 12 years old.
I know I'm supposed to send in a resume and headshot. I'm working on it. We just don't have alot of money, so I'm not sure if I can get that done.
I'm hoping that these comments will help, but I doubt it.
I'm 14, very enthusiastic and have been acting, singing, playing guitar and flute, and writing songs since I was very small.
I have experience from school plays and community and arts camp musical theatre. It's my dream to be a star. And I definetly have a unique and outgoing personality. I would love to have the lead role of Holly Hills.
If by some chance the casting director reads this, please check out my youtube page at www.youtube.com/julieheartstwilight and email me at juliee_concert_girl@hotmail.com. I can send a resume and a semi-professional headshot :)

I have read the books, so I possibly know most parts for Holly Hills, Heather Hill's young sister for which Greg has a slight crush on. I am not blonde like Holly in the book. i am a drakk brunette with slight facial acne and glasses. I also am age 11, one yr. younger than Zachary. Please consider. I will also do extra parts. 1 question though. Are there auditions some where, or do I find the script online? Please answer if you are seeing this. :)
P.S. I will only tell anything if you reply.
