Eight of the top ten weekend grossers used Cast It to manage the audition and casting process. Producers, directors, and studio executives log in to Cast It to view roles, actors, auditions, reels and screen tests posted by their casting teams from multiple locations.
The top four grossing feature films from last weekend all used Cast It to manage the auditions process online. Congratulations to Janet Hirshenson, Jane Jenkins and everyone at The Casting Company for their work on Angels and Demons!
Nearly mid-way through the casting process, production shut down when the WGA went on strike. Once the strike was over, casting quickly jumped back on track, thanks to Cast It’s archiving capabilities. Roles, lists, actors, auditions and a complete history of the where the casting team left off before the strike were immediately available to the directors, producers and executives.
The summer boxoffice season officially kicked off this weekend. X-Men Origins: Wolverine opened big with Ghosts of Girlfriends Past coming in second. Both productions used Cast It to manage the online audition process. Congratulations to Fox and New Line Cinema.
