Hey folks, Harry here with a report from New Zealand upon two projects of interest to pretty much all of us. Seems George and company are scouting a bit of New Zealand for Episode 3... and seems P.J. Hogan is scouting talent to play Wendy there as well. Pretty groovy, eh? Here ya go...
Hey there Harry,
hope this is of some interest.
Auditions are underway in New Zealand to fill the role of Wendy in P.J. Hogan's upcoming big budget Peter Pan flik.
Peter Pan casting Agent Dianne Bowen has called for mature 13 year old girls across the country to come forward over the next week. Auditions will be held in New Zealand's 4 main centers (Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch & Dunedin), further details can be found in local Newspapers.
Dianne Bowen has said they are "looking for the next Anna Paquin,, and where else would you find the next Anna Paquin but NZ"
Also here's another interesting bit of News. Seems parts of Star Wars Ep3 may be filmed in NZ. NZ's TV3 News ran a story on Hollywood Movies being filmed in NZ eg The Last Samurai, Lord of the Rings, when they mentioned that some of Georges scouts are searching NZ for possible SWEP3 locations with Fiordland looking to be the most popular chioce. Considering NZ is only 3 hours across the ditch from OZ, doesn't seem too unrealistic.
Note: Fiordland was one of Steven Spielbergs top chioces when he was looking for places to film The Lost World, not too sure why it didn't happen.
Thats all
Seeya
