Screen Daily is reporting that open auditions for the part of Lyra in the upcoming His Dark Materials film will be held. The producers say they are looking for a girl “who embodies Lyra's loyalty, bravery and mischievous nature” and say that she need not have any previous acting experience.
Auditions for the role will be taking place solely in England: at Cambridge, Oxford, Kendal and Exeter. The auditions will be held during the first two weeks of this April. A girl between the ages of 9 and 13 is being sought, allaying fears that Lyra's age would be raised for legal or moral reasons.
For those going: We'd like to cover the auditions here on BttS as fully as possible, so if anyone actually going to the auditions is interested, we'd love it if they could tell us of their experiences – how they convinced their parents, what the queue was like and perhaps even taking a few photos. If you are planning to go to the auditions and are interested, then you can email us here. Your stories would be featured here after each of the auditions.
Details:
The casting calls will have open queues in the morning lasting from 10 o'clock until 12 o'clock and will end at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The exact locations are:
- Cambridge's Corn Exchange (4 April)
- Kendal's Castle Green Hotel (6 April)
- Oxford's Examination Schools (11 April)
- Exeter's Great Hall at the University of Exeter (13 April)
haha lol
I went for 4 days, i went on the 27th. The dates here aren’t right.
It was SO awesome 😀 I went to 2 musicals, the phantom of the opera. Which was fantastic! And the lion king, which was very nice as well.
and we went to musea and stuff. 🙂 Really had a great time there!
As for Ian, I haven’t heard a single reason why we should leave..:S Except from the one that it’s a public space and we tell too much about ourselfs and that weird internet freaks can have bad meanings.
Which i find highly ridiculous because the chance that will happen is less than a percent. And even if someone with bad meanings would come here they wouldn’t even come anywhere with the stuff we tell.
omg.
I guess weird spam has reached this forum.
perhaps you should concentrate a bit more on that Ian, we have had a weird thing with a link to freaking porn once as well..o.o
that was really sick, I didn’t click on it though.
I mean, this board is ancient but if that would come up on more recent boards it would rather suck wouldn’t it?
wow spam.
i guess they do say the world’s full of surprises, huh?
wow, missy_me, that sounds so cool! i’ve seen both those musicals too, the lion king in janusary! (wow), but the phantom of the opera was when like i was 7, so for some weird reason i don’t remember it much…
…i do remember the chandelier however…
but 4 days in london, your so lucky, i’ve never spent more than about 4 hours there, let alone seeing 2 musicals in so many days!
hahaha. Yeah, the chandelier was so cool.
The weather here is SO beautiful! 😀 Is it there so nice as well? Sun, warmth. Lovely!
I don’t really have a lot to say actually.. 😛 whehe
Hey guys 🙂
I remember I first visited this very page at thirteen years old – looking for the details of the auditions…. now nearly sixteen.. I think I’ve had enough…
Ian – you threatened deleting this page / the comments? Could you? Please. We’ve all put too much of ourselves up here.
Bye guys 🙁
There’s always msn, and conversation’s died here anyway 🙁
Am I going to have to keep spamming here to get your attention? Coz I will….
who’re you talking to now Rachel? To the people from the site?
Then i guess it’ll work better to mail them..:P
Lol yeah I’m talking to the people from the site. Cba to email them atm.. and spamming is easier
Well that worked :S.. could you at least delete the comment where I said my full name please?
Rachel I don’t think you should to worry about this. Who on earth would come here and then search of 34 pages of chatting to look for a name?
But let me back up a moment in his story. ,
