Shortly after the success of the HANNAH MONTANA concert movie this spring, Disney execs moved quickly to prep a similar feature on their budding tween superstars The Jonas Brothers. Titled JONAS BROTHERS: 3-D! the film was to be a documentary on the lives of the three boys in the band mixed with live concert footage. But as far as I know, a documentary shouldn’t feature actors improving in a scene but that’s exactly what Disney is looking for. A recent casting call reveals that Disney isn’t looking for real Jonas Brothers fans but instead actors who are familiar with improv to play Jonas Brothers fans.
In the first listing they’re looking for actresses to play Two Teenage Girls who are “younger, cute and attractive… sitting front and center at the Jonas Brothers concert, screaming, going nuts, blowing kisses and crying.” The second listing for a Super-Fan is also young, cute and attractive who, in her scene, is “giving a tour of her home, which is a shrine to the Jonas Brothers.” Before you think they’re searching for actual fans to appear in those parts, note that they’re looking for SAG actors who should be comfortable doing “COMEDY IMPROV” to “play” specific roles. Aren’t there enough actual Jonas Brothers fans in the world that you don’t need to cast actresses to “play” Jonas Brothers fans. I know reality entertainment is often not-quite reality but casting actors to pass off as real people in movie billed as a documentary sounds like even a stretch by those standards…
