Sony Pictures Entertainment will be shooting a remake of the music-themed 1976 film "Sparkle" inspired by the story of The Supremes. The extras casting director needs to hire over 3,000 background actors to work on the film in the Detroit, Michigan area this Fall, 2011. All ages and types are needed, no experience is necessary, this is fully paid employment, and there no fees to apply or work on the film. Columbia TriStar Pictures will distribute.
"Sparkle" stars the beautiful and talented singer-songwriter, model and actress Jordin Sparks. Jordin stars in the lead role of the youngest daughter of three, a music prodigy named Sparkle Williams, and her struggle to become a star while overcoming issues that are tearing her family apart. Whitney Houston will play the not-so encouraging mother of Sparks' character. Mike Epps will play a wealthy comedian named Satin, who woes one of the sisters into a drug filled abusive relationship.
Two-time Image Award nominee Salim Akil will direct from a screenplay written by his beautiful and talented wife, BET Comedy Award winning producer/writer/actress Mara Brock Akil. Salim Akil's directing credits include the recent TriStar comedy feature film "Jumping the Broom" (which Mike Epps also acted in), 13 episodes of the Primetime Emmy nominated series "Girlfriends," and 52 episodes of the popular TV series "The Game". Mara Brock Akil is creator, executive producer, and head writer of "The Game" which will begin it's fifth season in 2012. Mara was also consulting producer on the Golden Globe nominated series "Cougar Town," executive producer and writer of "Girlfriends," supervising producer of "The Jamie Foxx Show," and producer of the series "Moesha" among others. Salim and Mara Akil will also produce "Sparkle".
