Horrorween Producer Has Hollywood Hopping
It takes guts to cast a dead body guy as a show's star
Ed Meyer and his latest project, the cameo laden comedic feature film Horrorween have surprised Hollywood with an unbelievable amount of enthusiasm from the acting community.
With just shy of 18,000 submitted headshots and resumes as of today, not to mention hundreds of A and B list star agents asking for roles for clients, Horrorween has garnered incredible interest among the acting community, usually only reserved for studio films.
Meyer's pick for a Star has stirred a lot of emotions and created quite a "Hollywoodien" buzz in the film community. Mr. Chuck Lamb aka the Dead Body Guy's morbidly comic talent will be showcased over and over again in this horror spoof.
The trailer for Horrorween is to be filmed Saturday March 4th at the Hollywood Center Studios Stage 12. On March 5th, between 11am and 3pm an open-casket (open casting) call will take place at The Hollywood Museum, at the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland in Hollywood. An open casting call is rarely seen in Hollywood these days, but even further, an open-casket call is a first. For details visit Horrorween's website at: www.horrorween.com
