How 'bout that? They want girls 10-14 "with tons of attitude". Sounds like half the posters on these boards.
And whats with the Middle Eastern and/or Arabic looks required for some speaking and non speaking roles? Can it be that Walters two grand-uncles were a couple of Indiana Jones's?
Can't wait to find out more about this film.
