It’s wild that we don’t have more recognition for the art of casting. Casting directors have a guild with an Academy branch, but not their own Oscar category. While the work can often seem alchemical or opaque to outsiders, casting directors are really in the first line of storytellers who collaborate on a film; they have to see and expand on a director’s vision for the film’s world and find the actors who will embody what the filmmakers aim to create. So IndieWire is bringing back an old pre-pandemic feature to celebrate the storytelling work of casting.
We reached out to a number of the film industry’s top casting directors to ask them to nominate one outstanding work from this year. As it turns out, though, the casting directors we spoke to had lots of films with casting they loved this year. “Being asked to...

Editors note: Alexis Allen Winter began her casting career in North Carolina in 2007 on One Tree Hill, and moved to L.A. in 2012 where she has worked in the offices of Laray Mayfield, Rich Delia, Courtney Bright and Nicole Daniels, Tamara Notcutt, Gail Goldberg and Sheila Jaffe, winning an Artios in 2020 for her work on To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Deadline asked her to weigh in on the current autition controversy involving self-tapes and how it is impacting her business.
I, like most of the casting community, have spent time reading over the latest articles on the current state of casting (and the comments on those articles). It has been gut-wrenching to read and try to digest, especially as someone who learned this industry in the Southeast, where self-tapes have been the prominent form of auditions since I started in 2007 working as a casting assistant and in extras casting.

“Too Old to Die Young,” Amazon’s forthcoming series starring Miles Teller, is gearing up to shoot in Los Angeles. Production for the crime-thriller, from “Drive” filmmaker Nicolas Windin Refn, is slated to begin in November. Courtney Bright and Nicole Daniels (Bright/Daniels Casting) are heading up duties on the casting side of things, while Refn is serving as executive producer.

Depicting the dark underbelly of L.A., the series will see Teller in the leading role of Martin, a police officer who finds himself caught up in the city’s criminal doings. This will be the actor’s first series regular gig on television. Learn more about the production via the Backstage listing right here. For more projects, check out Backstage’s L.A. audition listings!

Drive and Only God Forgives director Nicolas Winding Refn is back with The Neon Demon this year. Starring Elle Fanning, Keanu Reeves, Christina Hendricks, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, and Bela Heathcoate, the horror-thriller follows an aspiring model who moves to Los Angeles where her youth and vitality are devoured by a group of beauty-obsessed women who will go to any lengths to get what she has.
Recently announced to be part of the Cannes Film Festival competition line-up, Amazon Studios have dropped the first trailer ahead of a June release. Steeped in evocative, gorgeous imagery, we get the sense this is Winding Refn’s Suspiria-meets-Black Swan-esque take on the world of modeling, with some of the darker, flat-out bloody elements popping up towards the end of the preview.
“We describe the first half as a melodrama like Valley of The Dolls, and the second half is like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Hey, it certainly sounds better than Twixt. THR reports that Francis Ford Coppola is readying a new feature that should appeal to more of his traditional fanbase. The film is currently untitled, but the outlet reports that it “will chronicle an Italian-American family and span from the 1930s to the 1960s.” The project is also described as “a coming-of-age story that focuses on a boy and girl in their late teens.” While details are obviously slim as of now, The Wrap’s Jeff Snider also tweeted today that “Dance will be a key element in the new Francis Ford Coppola movie. That’s all, folks.” So that’s…something. Oh, is this going to be a new Dirty Dancing? Is that it? Coppola is currently writing the screenplay himself, and while the project has no firm studio commitments (despite having offices on the Paramount lot), a pair of casting directors have already been brought on (Courtney Bright and...

Francis Ford Coppola is reportedly readying an untitled film chronicling an Italian-American family from the 1930s to the 1960s.

SPAAmart project Wake Up Dead, to be directed by Joel Kohn, and an adaptation of a stage play by former Sydneysider Jack Feldstein, are among the features being developed under Garry Charny.s new production company, Spotted Turquoise Films.
Charny has kept a low film profile since his former company, April Films, produced Ray Lawrence.s Jindabyne, which was in official selection at Cannes in 2006. He has been keen to re-enter the business, however, and has appointed Vca graduate and short film producer Josh Butt to work with him on development and packaging.
.I want to do films with heart," Charny told If Magazine. "I will never make Snowtown or even Animal Kingdom, not because they are not good -- or bad -- but because they are just not what I want to make....

In just four films—two original and two adaptations—filmmaker Sofia Coppola has proved herself one of the most fascinating American auteurs working today. She makes pensive, intimate portraits in which her protagonists often feel growing pains while transitioning into a new stage in their isolated, privileged lives. Coppola's special brand of "cool" marks each film she touches—a strong sense of personal style that has propelled her far from Francis Ford Coppola's paternal shadow. For her latest film, "Somewhere," Coppola recently became the first American woman to win the Golden Lion Award for best picture at the Venice Film Festival. In the film, Hollywood star Johnny Marco (Stephen Dorff) is going nowhere in style—driving his Ferrari, ordering strippers like room service, and partying—when his 11-year-old daughter (Elle Fanning), who is fast becoming a woman, reappears in his life. "I thought about how Johnny is at that...
