LOS ANGELES—Full Moon Features has named Tanya Tate its new casting director on Surrender Cinema's upcoming feature Cassex.
As an actress, director and producer, Tate has previously booked talent for all of her own movies and said she is pleased to join the new production. "I'm excited to be working with the Full Moon family again," she said. "I am very thankful for all the opportunities that Charles Band has provided me, including this new one. I look forward to casting this fun and sexy movie."
Following the steamy sci-fi feature Femalien: Cosmic Crush (watch the trailer here), writer/director Lindsey Schmitz once again teams up with Full Moon for Cassex, a dark comedy with a sexy twist.
"Tanya has been a friend and ally to Full Moon for many years, so the decision to offer her an official role as Casting Director for our Surrender Cinema line was only natural," said Full Moon's Charles Band. "Her knowledge of the adult entertainment industry is only matched by her professionalism and work ethic. We look forward to building our relationship with Tanya over many projects to come."
Cassex will begin filming in Las Vegas this April. Some of the parts require nudity and simulated sex. Tanya is now accepting submissions at [email protected].
The movie tells the story of a married couple which dig up a dirty home movie, which not only spices up their love life, but transports them to an erotic dimension haunted by an 80s sex icon.
For those interested, the available roles are:
■ Cassandra Essex (Female, late 20s – early 40s)
An eighties sex goddess with a chiseled frame and an even stronger personality. Possibly Eastern European (think Brigitte Nielsen) or other type of exotic/foreign with less than a complete grasp on the English language. No tattoos.
■ Jane Fortune (Female, late 20s – late 30s)
An old-school Bohemian hippie who practices divination and possesses psychic abilities. A simple beauty with a cool and calm demeanor that hides a brooding intensity. No tattoos.
■ Maya Llewellyn (Female, 30s)
Funny and charismatic, she's a relatable girl-next-door, but with a modern, punk rock twist. The type of gal you can take home to mom, but watch out for that temper.
■ Doreen Dukes (Female, 30s)
A smokey and sultry vamp with a biting sense of humor. A Yoga instructor capable of delivering deadpan sass. She's the girl that taught you how to smoke cigarettes in high school.
■ Starhawk (Female, early/mid-20s)
A bubbly bombshell, she's always upbeat and down to party. While being a source of comic relief, behind her airhead façade, she hides a simple inner wisdom.
Tate's lengthy connection with Full Moon includes having appeared in movies such as Evil Bong 420 and Evil Bong 777, written for the Full Moon produced the magazine Delirium. She also made appearances for the company at pop-culture conventions like San Diego Comic-Con.
