Hi Ben and my DS Carmell

Have either of you heard back from Groucho or have they disappeared into thin air? I know Nikki has heard but wondered if you guys had? Ben you seemed to be the only one who got a response after your "bikini shot" - any more since then or do we all write this one off?

Look forward to hearing from you

So pleased to hear you've had a positive response Honey. I'll keep fingers crossed. How did filming go last week?
Tour long - another four weeks after this one then a couple of weeks off - bliss!! Think I should spend it on a beach in the Canary Islands but not much chance of that!!
Take care xx

I'm sure Carmell won't mind me adding to this thread the really great news that she has won the role of Amaretto - the lead female in this film!!

Wanted to say HUGE CONGRATULATIONS and shows that it was genuine after all!

We both applied and the best woman definitely won so good on you my DS!!

Hope everyone will join me in wishing her success as she is fairly new to this business and this could be a great boost to her career.

Well done Carmell

Congrats Carmel, you must be pretty chuffed.
I'm glad to hear we've had a happy outcome to this thread. Can I just ask - did you actually get to meet the casting director in the end or was it down to how good you look in a bikini?!

Well haven't met the director so guess it was my baywatch body!! I'm joking about the baywatch but after saying I have been selected as the lead now they say they want me to audition? So confused how can I be selected but now I have to audition. Should I not audition then be selected?

Hi Carmell, Ive been kinna following this thread on/off since it started and just thought Id butt in at this stage. I was all ready to congratulate you then I read the last note and thought oh oh, but congratulations is still worthy to you. It sounds like youve been thru a rollercoaster of emotions on this one, thinking youve landed the lead to be told this. I hope it comes good for you, I think youve got the attitude to stick at it, it aint killing you, its making you stronger. Iona x

Noooo! I can't believe they would tell you the part was yours and then ask you to audition! This doesn't make sense at all!

Carmell, I'm so sorry for putting this on the thread but I was SO pleased for you and your success I just wanted to share it with everyone! I'm sure it's a done deal and they are now just going through the motions of seeing you act and as long as you can then the part is yours! Chin up, Honey, it'll be fine.

Well done for the role in Macbeth, Ben! Hope for you the two things don't clash. I thought the film was being filmed in April??

Sorry again Carmell - was caught up in the euphoria of it all!

I must say this has sounded wierd from the beginning but fair enough, I'm not the most experienced actor in the world, esp not in the film world. But never have I heard of anyone being offered a part and then told they have to audition!!! Doesn't make sense at all.

Thanks to Ms Edler for her posting - it's most interesting to get an Agent's perspective on this film - so thanks for that.

I hope for Carmell's sake that this is all above board and turns out to be a huge hit.

Where's Clive when you need him? We really could do with his sleuthing on this one methinks!

Erm, not sure if DAVE
Edler likes the title "MS" :)(obviously thinking a bit too much about maltesers,sascha!)

As for clive- me thinks some bad casting directors snatched him and sold him into slavery- hes appearing in Heathcliff on ice in Moldova, 3 times a day, every day, for the next thirty years.

Oops sorry Mark!!! Must have been that my fingers were itching to get on those white Maltesers and hit the s not the r!!! Hope MR Edler will forgive me and pass my best onto MRS Edler!!

Please DON'T bring Clive into this! Mayhem will follow (allegedly)

Off to dream of white Maltesers - although there are some people on this site who do not appreciate them at all....you know who you are...
