Picturehouse will stage a series of open casting calls at American Girl Place shops in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York in the first two weeks of May for eight-12-year-old roles in its upcoming American Girl adaptation Kit Kittredge: An American Girl Mystery.
Abigail Breslin will play Kit Kettredge, a resourceful nine-year-old girl growing up in 1934 during America's Great Depression, in a story inspired by the hugely successful toy brand.
The HBO Films production is being produced by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Marisa Yeres of from Goldsmith-Thomas Productions, in association with Julia Roberts and Lisa Gillan from Red Om Films, and Ellen L Brothers of American Girl.
Shooting is scheduled to begin this summer and the film will open through Picturehouse on Jul 2, 2008.
'This is such a wonderful opportunity for us - to go across the country looking for girls that love these characters as much as we do, and give them the chance to join us in bringing this inspirational story to the screen,' Goldsmith-Thomas said.
