Extras are needed to rub shoulders with the stars in a gritty fantasy film being shot in Great Yarmouth. Malice in Wonderland features Hollywood hearthrob Mischa Barton and Danny Dyer with Bob Hoskyns also lined up to take a role. Anyone chosen at the audition will then appear in the background of the Lewis Carroll inspired crime fantasy as it is filmed around the resort over the summer. And as well as offering people the chance to appear on the big screen, the hard hitting and imaginative film is yet another feather in Yarmouth’s growing cap as a top destination for movie locations. Film producers have already secured the name of Mischa Barton, famous from the hit television series the OC and movies St Trinian’s and Don’t Fade Away. English born Mischa will play the lead role Alice, who enters the fantasy world of wonderland full of criminal lowlifes based on Lewis Carroll’s colourful children’s novel. The audition took place in Yarmouth’s Hippodrome from noon to 4pm. People had to be over 18 and were asked to dress up as ball room dancers, punks or in a criminal gang theme.
Thanks to Mischa B for this find!
