Mattisons Advert

Post by Irishdancer »

Did any ones ds go up for Mattisons advert end of March being filmed 27/28 April. I had forgotten about it got a call from Agent today to say that advertising agency phoned them today to ask to start getting ds licenced but not booked him, a few weeks ago ds had to start getting paper work together for licence for some thing else had to get doctors letter £35 did all that and the company could not be bothered to send part 1 over to LEA was really cross having to pay out £35 for nothing. LEA said that they would keep all the paper work and all I would have to do was get school letter, which I will do on Monday. Just wondering if any one else who went for this has heard any thing. I know a well as main parts they are going to have lots of extras for this wondering if any one has heard about that as well. If you don't want to post on here PM me.

Any one heard any thing on this getting ds licence sorted he went up for the main role when part 1 went to agent it said extra on it ds is in year 10 doing his Maths GCSE a year early got lots of exams coming up told agent he dose not want to do it if he is a extra. Agent got in touch with advertising agency they said that they have put that on all the boys who are penceled for main part will be picking main part next week. Just wondered if any one else who went up for main part has heard any thing. Agent said that they had a lot of kids go up for extra parts but it was a different CD than for main part. I am not taking ds out of school feel it's not worth it if he got some thing good school might just say no, the school is great but ds is in year 10 so don't want to ask for too much time off

Some one on here mush have heard some thing about this Mattisons advert they need lots of kids just PM me if you don't want to post on here. Talked to agent today now they have been told they are not going to pick any one to feature until after the shoot, they have talked to 3 different people who have told them 3 different things, da has been booked with 2 other kids but they auditioned for extras Nat auditioned for main part. Told agebt that 1 kid from ds a other agent had, had a recall and another boy gone for audition. Have said to agent to talk to CD ds auditioned and ask what is going on as ds auditioned through him for main kid, if he has booked main boy will then know that ds has been booked just for a extra then I can pull him,fed up just want to know what is going on. They are really messing us about I do t want to get there and find out that ds is not main boy. I'm so cross.

Ds still waiting to hear if he is the main boy on this, I know there are 80 extras and they are having a wardrobe fitting today so good luck to them. We heard 2 weeks after he auditioned for main part, forgot all about it then agent though he had got it, then heard that they where making there minds up, they are taking there time I'm expecting a no, this has been going on for nearly a month now agent is going to wait till late Friday then ask again trouble is if he dose not get it company will prob not even let agent know, just would like to know if any one knows any one who has been booked for main boy then I can forget about it and on to next thing. That is the reason I like drama they get the part or don't get it none of this parcelling in lots of kids. Any one else waiting to hear about the main part?

Did not get it agent have pulled him now he can go to school and play in his golf comp. wish I had not heard back forgot about it until agent phoned to say he had got it. I asked agent where they sure they that he was not stand in or a extra they where sure but then part 1 of licence said extra agent phoned and they said they had put extra on every one and where not going to choose until late this week. They make me cross did not even ask if he would like to be a extra just thought he would say yes. Now can forget about if and get on with other things
