Psst, Want To Be In The New Star Trek Movie? Freaks And Weirdos Welcome!

Have you ever wanted to be in a ‘Star Trek’ movie? Well now you can, but you won’t be playing Captain Kirk or Scotty, so get those thoughts out of your head straight away. Instead, you could end up looking like a complete freak in the new JJ Abrams directed ‘Star Trek’ flick by being cast to play an odd looking alien.

HeadquartersCasting.com has put up a notice seeking talent for “the way Cool Sci-Fi Feature Film titled ‘Corporate Headquarters’” which judging by the original posting is clearly some sort of weird codename for the soon to be rebooted ‘Star Trek’.

The studio are looking for:

“males and females, ages 18-70, any ethnicity: to play cadets: young, fresh-faced, military types: marching experience preferred, thin, regal talent with brown or black hair and are OK with their eyebrows being shaved from the arch outward to portray a Vulcan-type eyebrow shape.”

“talent with interesting and unique facial features such as: long necks, small heads, extremely large heads, wide-set eyes, bug eyes, close-set eyes, large forehead, short upper lip, pronounced cheekbones, over- or undersized ears and/or nose, facial deformities, ultra plain-looking people, ultra perfect-looking people, pure wholesome looks, twins, triplets, emaciated talent, regally poised and postured talent, or other visually unique characteristics.”

Phew, that just about covers everyone in the world doesn’t it? I can tick at least two off that list, and I consider myself pretty normal. Successful candidates who pass the obviously stringent ‘must have’ list will be cast as extras to play Star Fleet military cadets.

The film tells the story of the early days of Captain Kirk and his crew, and most of the central characters have already been cast. Chris Pine will play Kirk, Karl Urban is Bones, and Simon Pegg is Scotty. It is currently in pre production, and is due to be released December 2008.

So if you fancy getting in on the action, just get yourself to Burbank, California this Saturday November 10 at 2.30pm. Good luck… you freaky looking weirdos.
