BE A BEATLE IN A MOVIE!
"BEATexpo 2009," coming to the Downtown Stamford Holiday Inn in Stamford, CT on November 28-29, currently boasts a wonderful guest-list, some fine tribute bands, a memorabilia marketplace + other worthy convention attractions. Now the event has one other amazing element to it: a motion picture casting call! But not just any casting call, this is the national audition for the upcoming Fab Four film being produced by Disney. They are not looking for singers, as the film is using 16 original Beatles tracks, but they are seeking four actors to play the leads who resemble or can imitate, or have the mannerisms and idiosyncrasies of Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr. Aspiring actors and hopefuls are invited to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play a Beatle in what will undoubtedly be the biggest animated film of the year (it was previously reported that this was the 3-D remake of "Yellow Submarine").
The official casting call takes place at the hotel’s "Shippan Point Room" on Saturday, Nov. 28 from 10am-6pm and Sunday, Nov. 29 from 12 noon-8pm as part of the convention. Below are the casting details…

*please come dressed appropriately for the late 60’s era
*actors should come in character with the accent & mannerisms
This film will be done in the Motion Capture technique that has been used in features such as BEOWULF, THE POLAR EXPRESS, A CHRISTMAS CAROL and MONSTER HOUSE. The human characters will resemble the Fab Four and not the particular actor playing the role. For all of the characters, we will capture not only the actor’s voice but also physical performance in incredible detail. The captured performance then drives the computer-generated character in the final screen image. The actor’s actual performance is very non-technical and liberating and is rehearsed and performed in a studio like a play.
Those auditioning will be portraying characters between ages 20-45. Actors should come dressed appropriately for the late 60’s era and come in character with required accents and mannerisms. For research material and audition scenes, visit the blog: http://fabfourcasting.blogspot.com.
This casting call for the four leads is just one element, albeit a unique and exciting one, of this special event for fans. For further information on BEATexpo 2009 (not on the casting call itself), contact (203) 795-4737 or visit www.ToursAndEvents.com/BEATexpo.htm.
