My Chemical Romance Casting-Call Seeks "Little Girl" and "Ladyboy"

UPDATE August 26, 2010
Chris, admin of DrinkingSouls, has found that the source that sent out the casting call was ActorsAccess.Com, a casting site that promotes job opportunities for aspiring actors.

----

A screen-shot posted on DrinkingSouls.Com of what is supposedly a casting advertisement sent out to actors may give insight to the visual direction of My Chemical Romance's upcoming album.

The ad calls for a "Little Girl" with "attitude and vulnerability." The description cites Natalie Portman in "The Professional" (pictured left, Portman played the role of Mathilda, a child assassin) as a reference for the character.

"Ladyboy," a person who must be "identifiable as male" but "feminine" and who must be able to rollerskate is also mentioned. The wardrobe for that character includes tights, a layered tank-top/half-shirt combination and a helmet.

The two characters are set to appear on internal album art, promotional materials (both physical and digital) and merch. As a sidenote, the ad mentions the possibility of a video appearance.

The casting call, which was sent August 19, asked for submissions "ASAP Today," and the possible shoot dates range from August 30 to September 3.

I am in the process of finding more information about from where the casting-call came. Everything seems legitimate, but until I know the original source, I'm going to have to call it rumor. I have contacted DrinkingSouls for possible further information and will keep you posted here if I find anything new.

I'm super late, but I just realized.
The call mentions shoot dates ranging from August 30 to September 3.
mychemicalromance.com was updated to show the freaky receiver on September 3.
Connection?

The Professional was a good movie, but i hope MCR doesn't use the sexual refferences like THAT movie did o_o, I love both plot lines though.

My Chemical Romance Mystery Twitter Accounts

Image
Shortly after the cryptic change of My Chemical Romance's website, a strange Twitter account called "Dr. Death Defying" appeared. It was followed by only NewsAGoGo and a friend of the band when it reached out mysteriously to one fan, who tipped everyone off. It was later followed (then subsequently unfollowed) by both Ray Toro and Frank Iero. Things got weird. Here's how it's going down so far... September 3, 2010 Dr. Death Defying : Look alive sunshine. Shits all fucked up in the zones. Dr. Death Defying : Words are gasoline, motorbabies Dr. Death Defying : @thankthevenom Look alive... Dr. Death Defying : @thesnackfairy There are more pills produced in Battery City than grains of sand in Zone 4. -- NewsAGoGo : complete blackout. generators on stand-by. noise outside. screaming. static. sounds like...like, robots dying... -- Dr. Death Defying : @thatkkbitch Answer: Popping nitros near Wolfblood Beach will break more than your heart, it'll ...

Dear Bob Bryar: In Honor of Dixie

Image
"I don't even know what happened to my best friend and miss her more than anything in the world," Bryar tells PEOPLE. "The devastation I feel is beyond words." Source: People[dot]com According to People[dot]com, My Chemical Romance drummer Bob Bryar recently received a devastating shock when, a week after sending his German Shepard mix companion to a trainer, he received her cremated remains without a clear explanation for the dog's death. The drummer is filing a lawsuit against the trainer, who has changed the story of Dixie's death multiple times and who acted without Bryar's permission to cremate her. My Chemical Romance fans are well-aware of how much Dixie meant to Bob, and some of us even became personally attached after his blog series and frequent twitter updates in which he shared stories of their drive across the country together to get home. Bob rescued Dixie from a Southern shelter, inspiring her well-fitting name and, from what we have s...
