Thomas Vinterberg is urgently looking for divers and English speaking actors

Scroll down, this call is indeed for people who are fluent in English.

De befaamde Belgische castingagent Kris De Meester is voor Thomas Vinterberg op zoek naar mensen die zich goed tot perfect in het Engels uitdrukken voor enkele rollen in ‘Kursk’, de film die heel binnenkort ook voor een groot deel in ons land wordt gedraaid en die met Belga Productions een Belgische coproducent heeft. Vinterberg heeft duikers nodig die zich in het Engels uitdrukken (op momenten dat ze boven water komen) en zoekt ook enkele ‘native speakers’ of in ieder geval van wie je aan hun taal niet kunt horen dat ze niet Engelstalig zijn, voor de rollen van een ‘kapitein’ en een ‘ensign’, wat na enig opzoekingswerk een ‘vaandeldrager’ of een ‘kornet’ blijkt te zijn. Zoals gezegd, het betreft hier Engels gesproken rollen, dus zijn we zo vrij om de Engelstalige oproep gewoon in originele vorm mee te geven.
