Auditions for ‘Breaking Dawn’ are Scams, says Portland Casting Agent Lana Veenker

Eclipse breaking dawn movie poster by grodansnagel 280x432 Auditions for Breaking Dawn are Scams, says Portland Casting Agent Lana Veenker rumor control must see breaking dawn I know we all want to be extras in The Twilight Saga:Breaking Dawn, and we’ve all seen ads just about everywhere for casting calls, but according to casting agent Lana Veenker, who did the actual casting for Twilight, says it isn’t so.

It’s all a scam, Lana says.

“Anyone who is saying click here to audition for ‘Breaking Dawn,’ or the deadline is coming up, is lying. ‘Breaking Dawn’ is not in production. No casting directors have been hired. Nobody is hiring extras.”

First of all, “they haven’t even announced what city or country they’re going to shoot in,” Lana says. “They may shoot in Vancouver again,” in British Columbia. If they do, “they’re not going to hire American extras to shoot in Vancouver. American kids wouldn’t be legal to work in Canada anyway without work permits.

“There’s no way the production company would hassle getting permits for extras when thousands are dying to be in this who live right there.”

Even if Summit Entertainment, the company that produces the films, chooses to shoot in Oregon again — and there have been rumors it might — Lana says casting directors would never sift through individual applications for extras. They’d have a casting call and check out thousands at a time.

Kids who think they could be cast in actual roles need a reality check, Lana says. In the first film, a few roles did go to actors who weren’t yet famous. “But they were known to casting directors around the country,” Lana says. “They weren’t just plucked up off the street because they were fans.”

Lana thinks “Breaking Dawn” won’t be shot until the third film, “Eclipse,” is released, which is scheduled for June. “Publicity will need the lead actors until then for press, to go to premieres all over the world and appear on shows like Jay Leno’s.

“But even if, say, they were going to start shooting on June 1, the principal casting company would be hired maybe eight weeks before then, and it will work with actors who have talent agents already. There may not be any open calls.”

So anything that says casting is “imminent” is wrong.

“And extras won’t be hired until a week or so before production.”

One last thing: “No bona fide casting director charges anyone money to audition. That’s the bottom line.”

I wish we could all play a part in Breaking Dawn but we can’t. And no matter the temptation, please do not fall victim to these scam artists. What would Jacob and Edward think of us?

One half of the picture is vampire Bella, the other half is human Bella… Notice that the side of her face that has the red eye also has pale skin? Took me a moment to notice too…

ashleypeterkin

Of course it's a scam. They haven't even written the script yet. Nothing is actually comfirmed for anything. Why would they hold auditions for something they aren't sure about?

People like that make me angry. Like those stupid April Fools jokes last year.

Wow this woman really needs to get the stick thats up in her ass. Saying that most people dont have what it takes? well if thats the case then im sorry i REFUSE to be of the movies and franchise. How dare this woman say those things as if she knows everyone. UGH its people like her the industry can do without. Im sorry to say but i believe the people behind the movies have an ego even bigger than the stars. How dare you Lana, you dont know us, you dont even know have us.

HOW DARE HER! Thats beyond unprofessional. Most amazing stars didnt need a damn agent to start off. Maybe you need a reality check Lana, and quit judging those who you have never met!

I cant belive that someone invented this stupid story … i hope that nobody fall in this trap…all of twiligt saga fans from italy are angry …

The funny thing about this is that I see these “ads” on Newmoonmovie.org and eclipsemovie.org all the time. They've been putting up ads for casting since Twilight was first coming out. I even saw these ads for casting Twilight after the movie had been released.

Can't these sites control the ads that are used?
Cullenmom

So is she leaking that maybe Breaking Dawn might start some of the shooting on June 1st. I don't see how that could be since Eclispe comes out on June 30. But it seems to me that what she said that they at least might start something on JUne 1st for Breaking Dawn. That would be so exciting if they did. It would be like double time again like it was for New Moon. New Moon was coming out and the were filming Eclipse. That was great. Double time on the news.
Spectra

Usually the ads are based on the content of the site. Google ads take what people are writing about the most at the time, or the content of the site. I don't believe you can go there is a tick box to say “no” to ads pertaining to casting of Twilight Movies. Too detailed unfortunately.
Chel*TeamLeakedScriptsAreEvil*

He'd be way out of their price range since they still have MR on their books *mutters under breath* stupid fools!!!!
CherBear87

Even though it'd be tough to wait for the second movie, I'd love to have BD in two parts! There were rumors about there being three parts and I think that'd be okay too. It would mean more stuff would be in it! That's not a bad thing
