CASTING CALL: ‘El Dorado’ to cast actors as military generals or leaders

An upcoming feature-film needs an arsenal of men to act as military generals

ATLANTA — Casting directors are looking for men that are or look Hispanic to take on the role of a general or military leader in a ‘major’ film that will be shooting in Atlanta.

‘El Dorado’ is the working title for what Project Casting said is the upcoming movie of ‘The Suicide Squad,’ this time directed by James Gunn.

GENERAL/LEADERS

  • Hispanic or Hispanic looking men

  • Ages: 40 to 75

  • Rate: $150/8 hours. Includes overtime.

  • Filming Dates: October and November. There will be at least three dates.

  • Location: Atlanta

  • Facial hair helps, but it is not mandatory. Slightly long hair is okay.

Any prior experience in acting or the military should be listed in the resume, although it is not mandatory.

The application also asks for clear photos from the waist and chest up. Neutral colors or a jacket are advised, all while capturing an ‘intense, leader-type’ expression.

Actors will be selected then invited to a fitting for accurate size measurements for the costume they will build. The dates are not yet confirmed.

The movie begins shooting ‘principal photography’ in September, according to the casting call. 

So far, Margot Robbie, Idris Elba and Joel Kinnaman are listed as stars featured in the film with an expected 2021 release.

More information on how to structure your email application along with photo examples of what directors are searching for can be found on Project Casting.
