Wolf Brother -

Based on the novel of the same name by Michelle Paver.

The book is set thousands of years ago when the land is one dark forest. Its people are hunter-gatherers. They know every tree and herb and they know how to survive in a time of enchantment and powerful magic. Until an ambitious and malevolent force conjures a demon: a demon so evil that it can be contained only in the body of a ferocious bear that will slay everything it sees, a demon determined to destroy the world.

Only one boy can stop it - 12 year old Torak, who has seen his father murdered by the bear. With his dying breath, Torak's father tells his son of the burden that is his. He must lead the bear to the mountain of the World Spirit and beg that spirit's help to overcome it. Torak is an unwilling hero. He is scared and trusts no one. His only companion is a wolf cub only three moons old, whom he seems to understand better than any human. Theirs is a terrifying quest in a world of wolves, tree spirits and Hidden People, a world in which trusting a friend means risking your life.

Well, i really enjoyed the book, and I read a lot, probably about 3000 pages minimum in a week, and I'm pretty critical, but I fear that this will turn into another mess up. I have seen it too many times when there's a good book and a rubbish film, not mentioning any names, as Eragon wouldn't like it if I mentioned the film here. I'm just worried that this will turn out to be another one of those...

I do believe once they post who the director will be, they might give out audition notices. However, not all films go for 'Open Auditions' such as the Harry Potter franchise, and it might just be kept on a close circuit for professional working actors with agents.

If you do want to audition, I suggest possibly getting backed up with an agent, or simply getting professional headshots done. Also, alot of people break out into the industry with modeling work (such as Cameron Diaz or Angelina Jolie). They do consider 'amateurs' but only if you have something that 'Wows' them, with working actors they can simply look at resumes or portfolios at their previous line of work.

Hoped the info helped & best of luck :]

WolfOct 24th, 2008 - 23:02:15

that info on the book is bad some better ones are:

Six thousand years ago. Evil stalks the land. Only twelve-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion can defeat it. Their journey together takes them through deep forests, across giant glaciers, and into dangers they never imagined.
In this page-turning, original, and spectacularly told adventure story, Torak and Wolf are joined by an incredible cast of characters as they battle to save their world, in this first book in the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness.

Sent on a mystical mission by his dying father, our hero, twelve-year-old Torak, is alone for the first time in his life. His father has been mauled to death by a bear. Of course, this is not just any bear. It is a demon that has taken over the body of a large bear. This demon kills for the pleasure of killing, which is completely out of the realm of reason to Torak, a hunter-gatherer whose knowledge of killing has to do with food and survival and not hatred. His father promised him a guide on the journey, and an unexpected guide it is.

After his father is killed by a demon-possessed bear, Torak is left alone in the ancient Forest to find his way to the Mountain to ask the World Spirit for help. Captured by the Raven Clan, Torak learns about his father’s past and why the Soul-Eater created the demon bear. Led by his guide, a young orphaned wolf, and with the aid of a young woman who helps him escape from the Raven Clan, Torak seeks to fulfill the promise he made to his father—that he would find the Mountain, or die trying. During their arduous journey to the Mountain, Torak must locate the three most powerful pieces of the Nanuak in order to gain the World Spirit’s help. Only then will it be possible to vanquish the demon bear, but Torak’s battle with evil is far from over.

I don't really care if the movie is rubbish, becoz then at least i'll know. There's been word about the movie since 2005 and it's been killing me, even if it is rubbish at least i don't have to wait anymore, but does anyone know why they've taken so long to write it? with all these people asking about auditions i dont think they'll have trouble find actors, and its a FANTASTIC book!
Good luck to anyone auditioning, i hope they choose someone who isnt famous or well known cuz this book is set in such a different world that i want people i've never heard of playing my favourite characters.
