Defamer Casting: Be Brett Ratner's Favorite Showgirl
Defamer is committed to making its readers aware of exciting opportunities to gain valuable exposure by working with Hollywood's most talented filmmakers on their highest-profile projects, and so we pass along this Craiglist ad trolling for fresh-faced talent for an upcoming gig:
"Rush Hour 3" is looking for the Hottest, Sexiest, most drop dead The Feature Film "Rush Hour 3", Starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, is now accepting picture submissions of beautiful model and dancer type females (all natural) for an upscale French Club scene. Due to the original look of this scene, if selected, you will be wardrobed in "showgirl/burlesque" type costumes. Director Brett Ratner is personally hand selecting his favorites for an interview this up coming Monday (January 22, 2007). If selected, you will be booked on the "Follies" club scene with tentative work date of Tuesday January 30. The pay rate is $500 for 10 hours. Please e-mail a current headshot(s) and contact info to xxxx@gmail.com . Submissions should be received no later than 8:00 P.M on Sunday January 21.
We apologize for spotlighting this casting call after the stated submission deadline, but we imagine that anyone who's truly committed to succeeding in this town won't be deterred by such a piddling obstacle. Right now, Ratner's probably deep in the process of "personally hand-selecting his favorites" at the Rat Entertainment offices in West Hollywood, so there's probably still plenty of time to rent a burlesque costume and crash the session, proving by your trespassing moxie your total commitment to helping him advance his hacky, slutty French showgirl-exploiting vision.
