Jared Leto as Kurt Cobain

Jared Leto posted this video on the 30 Seconds to Mars YouTube page along with the statement below.  My guess is there are rumors still flying about the possibility of a Cobain film.  I think this is just his audition on the world stage.

It's believable.

"I heard today (April 5) was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can't believe it's been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I'd be doing this if it weren't for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I'd share it now..."

Audition with help from Paula Abdul



Paula Abdul has stepped into the world of Internet Castings!  With her new joint venture AuditionBooth.com  is supposed to be a quick and easy way to show your talents to the leading casting directors in the world.  

 Paula gives tips on how not to audition through a few videos in her blog section.  She has years of experience in this business, so any help she can offer is a good thing.
 
 I'm always skeptical of things like this, but you never know, maybe it will work out for some actors out there.  I wish them luck on their hunt for the next job and I hope AuditionBooth.com will give them an opportunity they wouldn't normally have gotten in small town America.

IMDb without the clutter

Thanks to screenwriter John August for having this info over on his website.

Introducing LESS IMDb!  

If you use SAFARI as your internet widow option, and you go to IMDb.com often, then this might be for you!

I hate the clutter over there, and Mr. August agrees.  All you want to do is see a persons credits and now their buried underneath a ton of junk.  Now, with this plug-in for Safari, you can get rid of the clutter & move the credits to the top!

So instead of this:

You get this:

Enjoy this option if you use Safari!
