Hollywood directors are now casting actors on Instagram.
Instagram is an incredible tool. It can make celebrities out of joggers, plus-sized couch potatoes and people who love working out.
Models are being discovered on the platform, thanks to carefully curated galleries. It’s generally ridiculous how much of an impact Instagram can have over people’s relationships, lives and careers.
And apparently, Instagram is now influencing the film industry.
According to Made in Dagenham actor Gemma Arterton, casting directors have started to weigh up actors’ social media following when considering them for film roles.
A photo posted by Gemma Arterton (@gemmaarterton) on
She told The Observer: ‘I have a friend who’s been told she has to put more “outfits of the days” and regular pictures of her food because a lot of the casting for films happens on social media’.
‘The money people go: Well, they’ve got 3m followers and that actor has only got 1,000 so…”
This should not come as a surprise. When you look at the social media following of some A-list actors, it is easy to see how they might be attractive to directors. For example, Blake Lively, who just appeared in The Shallows, has 11.5 million Instagram followers, while while Chloe Grace Moretz who was in this year’s Bad Neighbors 2, has around 11.1 million.
But, this is not the first time an actress has complained about Instagram followers. Earlier this year,
Emma Thompson criticised the industry for choosing actors based on their followings.
‘The actors are becoming attached in the sort of business way to their social media profiles, and I think that’s a disaster,’ she told the Telegraph.

In a bizarre twist to Kim Kardashian‘s upsetting robbery that occurred Sunday night, French police say that there’s no security footage of the incident.
In case you missed it, Kim Kardashian was robbed Sunday night by men dressed as police officers who managed to evade security and steal millions of dollars worth of jewelry and personal property. French authorities are arguing that it was an inside job. However, TMZ reports that there’s absolutely no surveillance footage of this incident anywhere.
Apparently, the hotel Kim was staying in did not have security cameras on the inside or outside of the property. As a result, the robbers are still roaming the streets of Paris. I hope the police find them soon.
Meanwhile, Caitlyn Jenner took to Instagram to apologize to Kim Kardashian. “Love my girl! After hearing the full story, I’m so thankful she’s okay. It’s a reminder for us all to be careful in the uncertainty of this world”

Chloe Grace Moretz to star in Suspira alongside Dakota Johnson.
Several weeks ago Chloe Grace Moretz announced her retirement from acting by dropping out of every upcoming movie she was linked to. But, it seems like she’s coming out of retirement early.
Variety announced that Moretz has joined the cast of horror remake Suspiria, alongside Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth and Fifty Shades‘s Dakota Johnson. It is great to see Chloë Moretz back in the film industry after her short-lived retirement.
The movie will be directed by Luca Guadagnino. Suspira is based on the original 1977 movie about a dance school hit with murder, evil and the supernatural.
It’s important to point out that only 3 weeks ago, Moretz explained why she quit acting. “I pulled the plug on all my movies because I want to reassess who I am and find myself within my roles again,” she said. “I’m realizing that I can slow down.”

People are calling Netflix’s Luke Cageracist against white people.
Many people are calling Netflix’s new series Luke Cage a monster hit. However, there are people who are bashing the show and calling it racist.
In case you missed it, Luke Cage hit Netflix on Friday and centers around a Black man who is given super strength and durability by a sabotaged experiment. He ends up a wrongly accused man escapes prison to become a superhero for hire. The TV show is set in New York City’s Harlem, a historically black community, which explains why the show features predominately black and Latino people in the show.
But according to some Twitter users, the show is racist because it lacks “diversity”.
Lack of white people in Luke Cage makes me uncomfortable. This show is racist, how is this on Netflix???
The fact that so many people are calling ‘racist’ seems pretty ironic. Especially, due to the fact that a recent study showed the top 100 grossing films of 2015 featured a non-white character only 26% of the time. In addition, out of those 100 films, there were only 14 that had a person of color as a star or co-star.
Many Twitter users fired back at ‘Luke Cage’ critics.
white people who are like “i don’t see race” are the same people who are like “why are there no white ppl in luke cage this is racist”
Before Scream was a box office hit franchise, it started off as a simple idea, script, and a casting call. One of the actors chosen to read for the movie was none other than Neve Campbell, The Party of Five and Wild Things actress who would later have a resounding role in the Netflix thriller House of Cards.
In the newly released SCREAM audition tape, Campbell spends much of her time talking on the phone to a killer. In the second half of the audition she speaks with the character Billy Loomis.
You can check out the video below.
Scream would later become a box off hit movie in the 1990s and a pop-culture phenomenom by the early 2000’s. Based partly on the real-life case of the Gainesville Ripper, Scream was inspired by legendary Horror writer Kevin Williamson. The film went on to financial and critical acclaim, earning $173 million worldwide, and became the highest-grossing slasher film in the US.
