Public Enemies, the hot new John Dillinger biopic starring Johnny Depp–sigh!–has been filming somewhere a little remote from Hollywood: Madison, Wisconsin! Local aspiring performers just like you were able to reap the benefits!

When casting extras, director Michael Mann (of The Last of the Mohicans and Ali) chose not only professional actors, but people who work day jobs as construction workers, salesmen, and even full-time students! Besides the screen time, the extras also got the chance to rub elbows with the likes of Christian Bale, Emilie de Ravin, and Marion Cotillard.

This is an amazing example of how easy it is to find fame with a part in a feature film, and with a little help from InstantCast, this could happen to you! Check out InstantCast’s latest casting calls now and get the ball rolling on your film career!

When we first heard that Tim Burton was re-imagining Alice in Wonderland, we were hooked right away. We can’t wait to see what the dark and twisted mind of Tim Burton turns out.

Relative newcomer Mia Wasikowska will be a 17-year-old Alice who encounters Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar, Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit, and course – Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter!!

Luckily, we’ve got a sneak peek into the world of Alice in Wonderland. Check out these previews from USA Today of the gorgeous CGI set, plus pics of Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, and Johnny Depp!
