Hollywood OS will be holding ongoing  open casting call for the feature film The Runaways starring Dakota Fanning and Kristin Stewart.

The film is a coming-of-age story about the forming of the first all girl rock band that actually made it to stardom and broke records.  Stewart will portray rock legend Joan Jett with Fanning taking on the role of Cherie Currie.  The production is headed up by River Road Entertainment (Into the Wild  and forthcoming Terrence Malick film The Tree of Life starring Brad Pitt).

Open Casting Call. 

Date and time:  

Monday – Friday (ongoing)
1 – 4 p.m. only (Address below)

At the Hollywood OS Office
3108 W. Magnolia Blvd.

(Between Hollywood Way and Buena Vista Street)

Casting Notes:

Hollywood OS recommends you review the photographs at: http://hollywoodos.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=63&Itemid=48 so you know the look they are seeking.  If you do not have that look, it is not necessary to attend the casting call because each look is specific.  This is for SAG and Non-Union talent. Everyone, at all times, must have the right hair. This is not Austin Powers,  over-the-top 1970s. This is real, a reproduction of true events, very authentic rock’n’roll in the 1970s.

Girls' hair should be long, straight, or wavy—no modern cuts or colors—only natural colors. Hair can be shorter, but not super short. Hair was not stick-straight; no appliances to straighten the hair were used.  Guys' hair should be shaggy, longish, or completely long—no crew cuts.

Hair for both sexes was generally parted in the middle and worn long or waved back Farrah Fawcett style. 18-to-look-younger guys should have no facial hair. No visible tattoos except for Joan’s Street Punk Friends!! No tattoos on either gender!

Everyone should be on the thin/skinny side. Clothes are provided for the most part, but any clothing you can provide is welcome.

New faces to Hollywood OS are very welcome, especially all Japanese types, 18-to-look-younger types, and Club-Goer types.

At the Open Call:

You must come dressed and camera-ready for a photograph. Again, your hair, makeup, and wardrobe should reflect the look in the photographs.  At the Hollywood OS office, you will complete your free online profile to be entered into the searchable database for booking consideration. (Please do not wear the color white.)

Open call is for the aforementioned types, but there is no guarantee of work.

Hollywood OS is seeking the following types:

• • Hollywood Party Types
• • 18-to-look-younger Roller Skaters
• • High School Types
• • Club-Goers
• • Joan's Street Punk Friends
• • Rough Crowd Types
• • Preppy College Crowd
• • Japanese Businessmen/Journalists
• • Japanese People of All General Types
• • Japanese 18-to-look-younger
• • Teacher Types (reference photo only, NOT for open call)
