Batman Genesis is a live action short film (with a few parts in need of voice actors) being made during Quarantine using digital set extensions and a few experimental tricks for safe social distancing to see if we can pull together a quality live action short film while the Washington State King County Quarantine keeps us from working on anything else (And so far it's going great!).
Anyone who is cast will not only receive credit in the film itself but credit on IMDB! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13029448/
We have already begun filming and are very excited to finish this project! we've posted some frames from filming on our Instagram https://www.instagram.com/highmountainstudios/
And if you want to see what the music will sound like: check out the awesome work of William McCarthy! He made this for a Batman short we almost made 2 years ago, and he has since revamped it for this project! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9362F_P0Hw
P.S. We've been warned some actors on here take issue with the use of adult language, if this is a problem for you please do not audition, the project is only about a PG-13 in terms of language but if that is still an issue for you we completely respect that and ask you to move on so you don't waste your time or ours, thank you!
We have a physical actor for the part but she's a first time actress and doesn't feel comfortable doing the voice, she specifically requested we find a voice actress she can lip sync to, you will receive FULL credit for the voice of Harley Quinn (your name as the voice will actually go right above the physical actress's in the credits).
We're looking for someone who can really embody the character's quirkiness, short temper, and playful nature, we want you to have the freedom to put your own spin on it but if you need a point of reference: definitely go with Arleen Sorkin's performance in BtAS or Tara Strong in the Arkham games. If you can: please try to do that New York/Brooklyn style accent Harley Quinn usually has.
[Being interrogated by a Detective, smugly refusing to talk]
Sorry, no can do! I'm under strict orders ta' only speak with the bat!
[Batman just said Harley is "Just another psycho with a gimmick", she loses her temper for a moment, then quickly returns to her more playful self]
I AM NOT PSYCHO!!!...(Deep breath) I'm just a lil' screw loose... Everyone's gonna be like me and Mistah J one of these days...all it takes is one....very...VERY bad day.
Don't be so formal, Bats...Call me Harley, Harley Quinn....
This character's voice over appears throughout the film as a way of natural exposition, in this short film Vicki Vale is a radio show host, the audition line here is her very first line in the script
Good Morning Gotham City!! Your host Vicki Vale here, as we all slept soundly in our beds last night: There was a party going on at Arkham Asylum! Many speculate that a dangerous inmate has escaped! We'll find out more soon when GCPD's golden boy Captain Gordon takes the stage at an emergency press conference.
Killer Croc is only in one scene but when he's there he's the star of the show! a fully CGI character, we're using the model from Arkham Origins and re texturing it a lot to look good in 4k, please play this character as growly and monstrous as possible! feel free to play with it a bit though!
[Walking into a room with a bound and gagged Batman laying on the floor] I thought I smelled dinner!!
[angry after Batman manages to land his first successful hit] YOU LITTLE SHIT! Let's see how well you fight after I BITE YOUR HEAD OFF!!
