Nightmare on Elm St. Promises 'Tasteful' Pool Party Toplessness

Written by Kyle Buchanan

In what ways (other than casting Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger) is the new Nightmare on Elm St. different than its predecessors? According to a new casting notice, it’s all in its tasteful, sensitive depiction of bare breasts:

We are searching for attractive women, 18 to 27, who are comfortable working topless in a tasteful pool party scene. This scene is a non-speaking “special extra” role and will be filmed with the utmost respect. The location of this scene is in the suburbs (exact location TBD). This scene is a three-night commitment, June 1st, 2nd , & 3rd (night can start as early as in the afternoon and will shoot until sunup the next day) You must be available all three nights to be considered.

If you are interested please e-mail us a recent color photo (in swimwear) along with your height/weight/age/address and phone number to: noe.extras@gmail.com

This scene is being cast very quickly! Once we receive your photos we will contact you to come and meet with us.

Note: For your privacy and confidentiality please do not send us any nude photos.

Joan Philo casting has cast tasteful nude and partial nude scenes in the past (Mad Dog and Glory, Prison Break pilot) successfully and in good taste. You will be treated very well on set.”

Indeed: Upon doffing their tops, a respectful Freddy Krueger will now note, “You have a very third-wave feminist take on nudity and reclaiming its power,” before handing them a pair of gardening shears and adding, “Moments ago, I’d planned to use these to facilitate your death. Now, they are an instrument of all that oppresses you that you alone can wield.”

‘Star Wars’ Live-Action TV Series Casting Underway

Published by Eric Ditzian

A live-action TV series set in the “Star Wars” cosmos has been an elusive, tantalizing prospect for years. News of the potential production first surfaced in 2005 while George Lucas was promoting “Revenge of the Sith.” Work on the “Clones Wars” animated feature film and Cartoon Network series, though, took creative precedence. In late 2007, Lucas revealed that he and his team were about to begin writing scripts for the live-action show. Now MTV News has learned that casting for the series is currently underway.

During the junket for the Nicolas Cage thriller “Knowing,” star Rose Byrne let slip that Team Lucas is casting a wide net for actors to join the show. “A lot of my friends have been auditioning for it,” she said.

According to Lucas, the show will focus on minor characters from the saga and be set in the time period between “Revenge of the Sith” (Episode III) and the original “Star Wars” (Episode IV). The action will follow the Rebel Alliance as it slowly gains strength against the Empire. There will be Stormtroopers, but no Jedi or Darth Vader will appear on screen. As he did with the “Clone Wars” series, Lucas will write and shoot an entire year’s worth of episodes before looking for a cable channel on which to air the series.

Thus, with casting just now moving forward, it looks to be quite some time before fans will be able to catch some live-action “Star Wars” on the small screen.

Bryne couldn’t have been more pleased about her time working with Lucas on 2002’s “Attack of the Clones.” “My experience was wonderful,” she said. “George is a great guy. I was just there for a week, standing behind Natalie [Portman] looking very demure and supportive. 95% of the fan mail I get is from ‘Star Wars’ and I’ve never seen them.”

As much as she enjoyed the “Star Wars” experience, Byrne, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for her work on FX’s “Damages,” will not be auditioning for the live-action series. “I’m on a show,” she said. “I don’t know if I look that good in space.”
