Nickelodeon Open Casting Call Supah Ninjas

Open casting call for Nickelodeon action-comedy series 'Supah Ninjas'

Empire City Productions is getting ready to begin production on the second season of the action-comedy series "Supah Ninjas" for Nickelodeon. The first season was shot at the Paramount lot in Hollywood, however the sets were dismantled and trucked across the country to Pittsburgh, where season two will be filmed. The lead, guest starring, and recurring roles are being cast in Los Angeles, while smaller roles and extras are cast in Pittsburgh.

An open casting call is scheduled for people ages 18-40 who are experienced martial artists, dancers, gymnasts and parkour practitioners to work as stunt people and featured extras. In addition to the stunt performers and featured background, the casting director is seeking young actors ages 14-19 with theatre experience for speaking roles on the show. Also being cast are teen girls with cheerleading experience. “Supah Ninjas” is also looking for a few interns for the summer to work in the Camera/Production/Art/Costume departments.

"Supah Ninjas" made the move to Pittsburgh for a few reasons. The show takes place in a Gotham City-like world called Empire City, and Pittsburgh can lend itself to that kind of vibe for any outdoor scenes - locations that the production doesn't really have access to in Los Angeles like the old brick buildings and bridges, the rivers. In addition, Pittsburgh has a great talent pool along with a film and television tax credit program.

Details on how talent can submit for acting roles, and open call information can be found on the following casting post:

Nickelodeon's 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' reboot: See the show's trailer here! -- EXCLUSIVE

[Click "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" picture above to watch the high quality [HQ] video clip featuring Nickelodeon's brand new 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' trailer/promo]
EW gave you an exclusive first look at Nickelodeon's new and improved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series last year. But now, as the series' TBD fall launch [worldwide] nears, we've got another special treat for you: an exclusive look at the show's official trailer.

Natch, the trailer quickly goes into the origin story of the Turtles. "They were created by accident," the voice in the trailer tells us. "They were kept a secret. They were trained for battle. And now, when their city is under siege, the fate of humanity is in the hands of these four…turtles!" And it continues: "When evil threatens our universe, these four brothers are destined to save the world!" Then it takes a few moments to introduce each of the four green guys: Leonardo, “the leader”; Donatello, "the brains"; Raphael, "the muscle"; and Michelangelo, "the wild one." However, there seems to be no sign of Splinter or April in this trailer, unfortunately.

EW recently spoke with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles executive producer Ciro Neili, who explained how this iteration of the characters fits into the Turtles universe. “I tried to boil it down and get to really what's at the core of it,” Neili says, “which is this sense of brothers and camaraderie. Everything grew out of that. It's like a band. You want a Beatles thing.”

The trailer — which you can find embedded [here on the official Entertainment Weekly - Inside TV website] — will premiere on Nick.com tomorrow and Nickelodeon this Saturday, June 23, during the season 1, book 1 finale of Legend of Korra, which is an hour-long TV event featuring two back-to-back episodes.
