The Birth of a Nation - Movie

The Birth of a Nation – Movie

One of the most powerful stories in all of American history is set to receive a well deserved big screen treatment and cameras will be rolling shortly. The Birth of a Nation is coming and casting calls for various roles in this star-studded inspirational tale will be taking place very soon.

The Birth of a Nation will tell the gripping story of Nat Turner, a slave and preacher who, fueled by his strength of faith and vivid religious visions, led the most successful slave rebellion in American history in 1831 Virginia. This historic epic will be led by a formidable ensemble cast fully capable of portraying the depth and gravity of these events that will feature Gabrielle Union (Bad Boys 2, Being Mary Jane, Think Like a Man Too), Armie Hammer (The Man from U.N.C.L.E., The Lone Ranger, The Social Network), Jackie Earle Haley (The Watchmen, Little Children, Bad News Bears), Golden Globe nominee Penelope Ann Miller (Carlito’s Way, American Crime, The Artist), Aja Naomi King (How to Get Away with Murder, Emily Owens M.D., Damsels in Distress), Roger Guenveur Smith (Do the Right Thing, American Gangster, Dope), Katie Garfield (The Vampire Diaries, Project Almanac, Sleepy Hollow) and Mark Boone Junior (Trees Lounge, Sons of Anarchy, Law & Order:

Special Victims Unit). The fabulously talented Nate Parker (Beyond the Lights, Red Hook Summer, The Great Debaters) will direct the film from his own script and take on the lead role of Nat Turner. Mogul extraordinaire David S. Goyer (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, The Dark Knight, Blade) will lead a fabulous and driven group of producers that includes Kevin Turen, Aaron L. Gilbert, Preston L. Holmes, Jason Michael Berman and sports superstars Derrick Brooks, Nnamdi Asomugha, Tony Parker and Michael Finley heading the charge to bring this important story to the big screen.

    Hello,
    My name nickname is Tootie
    Age 11 yrs, 8mos, 30 days old
    Hometown: NOLA
    I believe this would be a great movie to display the Legacy of Nat Turner. Although, I do not know much about him, reading a bit of information about him has really grabbed my attention. I do know that Nat Turner was born on October 2, 1800, in Southampton County, Virginia. In the wake of living as a slave for thirty-one years, he drove the most critical resistance ever. As an aspiring model/actress/dancer I would love to become a part of this wonderful legacy. Please consider me in your future casting calls.

    The study of history is a method that leads to the beginning of political freedom. It is disturbing to think how many people, some close to me, don´t believe racism and hate exist anymore. I think this movie will allow adults to engage a broader perspective of the rough historic undertone that still plagues our culture, our media and finally, our kids.
    I have substantial experience with acting, music and martial arts. I speak both english and spanish. I work very hard and daily. I am a happy young man who is willing to do EXACTLY what it takes to get the job done!

I have little experience already from church and school plays, and just last year I had the chance to be a part of the Whitney Houston movie production. Ever since, I’ve been looking for different opportunities to further that experience, this seems like a really good one so I hope that you will consider me. I’m really good to work with, I have great people skills, great learning skills, and I’m just a fun person to be around. Thanks so much for your time!

    Hello,
    My name is NiPre Williams from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am 21 years old. I have been acting since I was 10 years old. Ive done multiple musicals, and ive done serious theater. Ive taken multiple acting classes a s well. Now I am ready for the big stuff. Acting in front of the camera is something ive always wanted to do. I love the idea of telling the story of my people. Not a lot of my generation knows what really happened back then. I’ve always felt in tune with my ancestors. Which explains why I feel that natural beauty is the best beauty and I am a dark skin girl, & I love everything about it. I’ve acted in the theater play about slavery once before, and had to play the lead slave.it was such an eye opener for me. I didn’t even know that I was crying my real tears during the whole production.I am ready to improve and make acting my official career. Im serious about this and if I am blessed with this opportunity, please believe that you will not regret your decision.

    My name is Ashley Jenkins I’m 15 years young and I don’t act all the time but when I do I bring the feel,emotion,and passion. I come from a small town Baldwin,Louisiana and there’s only two ways you end up either in a grave or in jail. It’s scary sometimes wondering if your going to see the next day. Look I’m not trying to waste your time I just want a chance. Please give me a shot you won’t regret it by a long shot.

    I have always wanted to act every since I was 3years old but I’ve never had the opportunity ! I’m very unique & independent & outgoing Also very smart . I’ve had sone acting experience back when I was in elementary and middle school ! Now I have my own T-shirt line , I also do Photoshoots very often considering the fact that I’ve been looking for multiple acting agencies! Hopefully I’ll get picked this would be an amazing opportunity ! But if I don’t get pickedI still would understand that others want this position just as well as I do !!!!

  71. Malcolm Wright

    Hello. I have been blessed with tremendous, natural talent. Acting is my gift, my passion. There is absolutely no role I can’t portray. Any genre, my range is limitless. I can be an extra or I can lead the show. I just need the chance to show the world. I’m a full time family man, so having to hold down a job doesn’t leave much time to pursue my dreams, but if there are any upcoming auditions I would love a chance to prove myself, show the world I was born ready.

    All my life I have wanted to be in this industry. Not for the fame
    or the money. But to actually get to do something with your life
    and have self confidence. Show other people you can do it. Where I live
    its not very a “rich” city. I want to just buy my mother some things and really
    help her out on some bills. It stresses me out to see my mother struggle. And I really want to do something nice for her.
