DreamWorks is looking to discover an unknown talent to play the long-lost tween son of Hugh Jackman in Real Steel! This is a lead role in a Steven Spielberg film to be directed by Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy! They say no acting experience or credits are necessary.
The role to be cast is "Max": Male, 10-14 years old. He's a street-smart, tough, charming kid with a hard, untrusting outer shell which hides a warm enthusiastic spirit beneath. He is a complicated, strong-willed and resourceful boy.
The story explores a new sport, robot-boxing. Hugh Jackman stars as a former boxer who gets one final shot at the championship title when he teams up with his long-lost son Max to train a unique robot for the upcoming Real Steel World Championship.
Two ways to be considered:
1. Submit a videotape audition at www.realstealcasting.com (all the instructions and details are on the site).
OR
2. Show up at an open call audition at one of two locations

When the news hit that Columbia was doing away with Spider-Man 4 for a teen Spider-Man Reboot, KidsPickFlicks.com suggested Percy J
ackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief star Logan Lerman with a couple of other teen actors and put them up for a vote. While you guys voted Terminator Salvation and Star Trek star Anton Yelchin your choice to play Spider-Man, Logan was tied for second with Shia LeBeouf.
Now, Logan Lerman tells Billy Bush that the producers and filmmakers reached out to him. He says, "Conversations are starting. It's a long process with a studio and producers and everything but it is a project that I'm really interested in, of course."

ZATHURA IS A PICK
If you want to be an astronaut here are some things you do not want to encounter: battling robots, zorgons, and meteor showers. There is no telling what is going to happen in space. In the movie Zathura, two boys are playing a game. They cannot lose the game or they will be trapped in space forever. This PG movie was released in 2005 and is amazing. The movie was directed by Jon Favreau. The lead actors are Jonah Bobo and Josh Hutcherson. “Zathura” is one of the best action movies out there. Once you start the game there is no turning back. There is no telling what is in space. Don’t push the button!
