Calling all young unknown actors! If you’ve always dreamed of landing a starring role in a major film, you’re in luck.  DreamWorks Studios has launched a national casting search to fill a lead role in its upcoming movie “Welcome to People”.  The only catch? You have to be male, between the ages of 11 and 13.

Welcome to People is a drama about a young businessman (CHRIS PINE) who returns home after his estranged father’s sudden death, only to uncover a devastating family secret, which sends him on an unexpected journey of self-discovery.

The film is the feature film directorial debut of Alex Kurtzman (TRANSFORMERS, STAR TREK) with a script written by Kurtzman, Roberto Orci (TRANSFORMERS, STAR TREK) and Jody Lambert (OF ALL THE THINGS).

In addition to Chris Pine (STAR TREK), Elizabeth Banks (THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN) has also joined the cast.  Film is scheduled to begin production in January in Los Angeles.

Actors interested in the role are invited to attend an open casting call on Saturday, December 4 in Los Angeles, California.  No acting experience is necessary for interested actors, nor are they required to prepare anything for the audition.

The role to be cast is ‘Josh’: Male, 11-13 years old, Caucasian, athletic, independent, and confident.  Interested actors should be able to memorize lots of dialogue.  Film will be rated PG-13 and actors should be comfortable with dialogue reflecting that rating.
