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)
OK. funny. is he on btts? cos i dont see any pic!!!!!
oh yeah. i have msn. i'll add you guys k?
mines up top
ok guys this might seem fine to you, but i'm really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really squemish and this really freaked me. so…
i just thought i'd post it here! :tongue:

OMG! that's SO gross… o.O
but yeh indeed it feels veery weird>>!
ive not seen the picture yet.. mm gonna watch now
So what do u all think of the site? I think everything is great but the Athlethiometer isn't really captured for me. I mean it is one of the most important things and I don't think it has the spark that Philip Pullman wrote it to have. Aside from that everything is perfect!
Oh yh and that link is gross! Anyone reading this – don't click it!
too late for me, i posted it remember.
i am SO SO SO bored. my whole family decided to get rid off our christmas shopping today, so we went to town.
-an important thing to note here, is that i really dont like shopping, let alone christmas shopping when everywhere is completely packed-
ok. now the WORST part, do you know how LONG we were out of the house!?!
we left at 11.30 this morning and got back at 8.20 this evening (that was 5 mins ago)
i'm very fed up.
AND my uncle and his family are coming tomorrow so thats my whole weekend down the drain. i dont get on with any of my cousins in that family… 🙁
oh woe is me
holy crap that IS long
anyways, i LOVE the way that everyone looks in the film. however, DBR isn't as much as i'd hoped :wassat:
but lee looks amazing to me
huh what site? this one..?
but wow emily! that IS long..!! >.<
I went to school today and my day totally sucked,!
however i did gave me up for the audition of the dutch movie… 🙂
Yh that is AGES! poor u!
I'm FINALLY bac at skool … i dont love it or anything its just im glad 2 b bac! lol
So have u done all ur xmas shoppn alewyn/missy-me? i havnt even started! :wassat:
christmasshopping.. like in buying presents for people?
nah we don't do that 😛
Me and my friends from school are doing secret santa, so i only have to get 1 gift for that
but then i have all my friends from town to get gifts for, i haven't started either lol
My tutor group are doing scret santa. i got one of my best friends! ha! and then i got her to believe that it was one of the boys who has her. it's hilarious watching her figure it out :tongue: :laughing: :tongue: :laughing:
werecatweird that sounds fun! :tongue:
wish my tutor group did things like that …
er…i don't have a tutor group :wassat:
you dont have a tutor group? wait. its probobly just called something different…er…um…a form maybe? or er…a class?
any idea's ppl? i'm literally asleep at the mo. brain deactivated
OHHH yeah, a class
tutor groups are like the people you go to school with, right?
Yh a tutor group is pretty much the same as a class, only you have tutorial with your tutor group and lessons with your class(es)… if that makes any sense! Mine's the same size as a regular class, 30.
I know that was terribly interessing 4 u all … ! :wassat:
Sorry but, um, what's the difference between a class and a tutorial?
well a class is like your english class or something while a tutorial. wait. i have like a few lessons with my tutor group as well.
wow. you know, i never realised how complicated explaining what a tutor was would be…
ANWAY. we got are secret santa presents today. i got a large chocolate selection box. yum yum :tongue: anyway, my mate got hers. but she still dosen't know you its from cos ihavent told her and i got my big sis to write the label. and know she's asking everyone she see's whether they recognise the handwriting. AND I STILL PLAY ALONG.
ok read post underneath 1st if you read from top.
i nearly die laughing seriously.
and even better. my sis wrote something rude on the bottom so i crossed it out with a silver christmas pen. and know she's convinced that it says the persons name underneath, so she's spent the whole of graphics (thats was right after lunch and last period of the day) trying to work out what it says!
AND i think nearly everybody in the tutor knows it was me, but there playing along too. ha ha ha!
the good thing is that she absoultly loves what i got her, but unfortuntely is smart enough to realise that the person who did knows her well.
:laughing: :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
on a darker and a brighter side. ITS THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL 2MORROW, HALF DAY AND MUFTI! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
on that darker side, the head and the deputy heads are making me play a saxaphone solo in front of the hole school… 🙁
.omg. it was bad enough having to do a solo in the 2 christmas school concerts last week, but this is in front of the WHOLE SCHOOL.
good thing is my brother went on a school trip to paris for 4 days. so he wont be there. and my older sis has left my school and my litl sis has come yet. phew.
actually i dont think tahts a good thing. i'd rather do it in front of my bro to be honest, that in front of the school…
kill me now!
HA! look at me babbling. i'm probs gonna have to split this.
omg that's so cool!!! i would LOVe to be asked to do a solo!
also, the whole secret santa thing is hilarious
we exchange gifts this thursday and friday 🙂
I JUST BROKE UP FROM SCHOOL!!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 35MINS AGO I BROKE UP FROM SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry.
yeah i played my sax solo right. and guess waht. i got up there and my reed BROKE. so when i played it was this horrible scratching screeching sound. :crying: :crying: :crying:
so i stopped playing and turned round and talked to my music teacher and my headteacher (and loads of people in the audience where cheering and stuff. arseholes)and so my headteacher walks up to the mike and goes
'emily is unfortuntely having a technical problem her reed has cracked'
and so i had to walk all the way to the music block with my music teacher (he is an AWESOME teacher. seriously. he rules.) and i got a new reed out of my case and stuff.
and THEN i had to go bcak to the sports hall (thats where the assembly was) and play it again.
THANKFULLY i did it perfectly and everybody has been congratualting me all day, and giving me chocs and telling me about ppls reaction. (which were aparently amusing). and now i'm rly happy.
but that was in front of the WHOLE school. teachers and pupils alike
O.M.G
i think i really need to thank the fact that i keep a pack of reeds in my case. imagine if they weren't there or i'd run out…..
sorry. i had to let that spill.
