Oscar Pistorius Movie Open Call in Atlanta
Casting Directors are now accepting submissions for the new feature film Edge of the Blade, about the South African Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius. They are currently casting featured roles. Filming will shoot in Atlanta, Georgia between June 7 and June 30. Producers are looking for African American children, Caucasian families, models, upscale types and other featured roles.
The cast of the movie has not been announced. However, Edge of the Blade will center around the South African Olympic Sprinter Oscar Pistorius. Both of Pistorius’ legs were amputated below the knee when he was 11 months old. He was the tenth athlete to compete at both the Paralympic Games and Olympic Games, competing in sprint events for below-knee amputees in Paralympic events, and in non-disabled sprint events.
Filming Dates: June 7th – June 30th
Where: Atlanta, Georgia
Pay Rate: Dependent on Role
On Valentine’s Day in 2013, Pistorius fatally shot his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp, in his Pretoria home. He claimed he had mistaken Steenkamp for an intruder hiding in the bathroom, but he was arrested and charged with murder. At his trial the following year, Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide.
