Update about the cast of CAPTIVATED
Hey everyone!
Thank you all so very much for auditioning for the role of the new, Irish character who's going to be introduced in episode 4 of CAPTIVATED.
Now, since we have reached the deadline for auditioning today, you might be wondering, when the final decision is going to be made in regards of who gets the part in the end.
First off: It's going to take us a bit more time to make that decision than previously anticipated. In the past few weeks, we have been rewriting a large part of the story, since our first cut of the episode didn't meet our expectations in terms of storytelling and quality, so we are going to reshoot about ¾ of the episode, and that happens in about four weeks.
There are several reasons as to why we are holding off of casting decisions right now:
We are probably going to need some more voice actors for some minor roles, so there will probably be another casting call by the end of February for those. Also, since we've been rewriting the episode, we still have some more figuring out do to when it comes to some characters; the role you auditioned for as well.
So what does this mean for you? Well, first and foremost it means that you'll unfortunately have to wait a bit longer than even we expected for the final casting decision. Also, and this might come in rather handy for you: Since you've already auditioned and I know what you sound like, I might approach some of you individually by the end of February and offer you another role, even though we might not have selected you for the role you auditioned for in this particular casting call.
This might sound like some of the typical PR/marketing hogwash big companies spout off all the time, but we are really trying to achieve the best possible episode for our season finale, and that also means scrapping a large part of the whole thing and doing it again, and that takes time. But we of course – again – really appreciate that all of you auditioned, and we will have a decision ready for you in a few weeks time!
If you have any questions about the project, your audition or the role you auditioned for, please feel free to ask!
Best regards,
Moritz
