Want to be in a big movie or show? Here are some casting calls for Georgia talent
Georgia plays a huge part in the film and TV industry, with several notable movies and shows using the state for production. According to the state’s Department of Economic Development, there are more than 20 major series currently being filmed in Georgia plus multiple feature films. Marvel fans will often see a Georgia peach logo appear before or after the post-credits scenes of their favorite flicks.
But these projects can’t happen without sufficient casting. To fill the many empty slots, studios put out casting calls for a variety of roles — and they are being snapped up fast.
Take a look at some opportunities — open as of Jan. 28 — in Georgia to appear in a major motion picture or hit TV show, according to Project Casting:
“Superman: Legacy”
Central Casting is looking for male, white children that can work in Atlanta around May and June are needed for “Superman: Legacy.” Previous acting experience is helpful but not mandatory. Competitive pay will be available plus a film credit, and travel and accommodation expenses will be covered if applicable. There is also an open casting call for background actors/actresses.
DC Comics is getting a reboot on the big screen with a brand new slate of movies and shows. This is one of the first productions and will be written and directed by James Gunn, the mind behind the “Guardians of the Galaxy” trilogy and “The Suicide Squad.” Little is known about the movie’s exact plot, except that Superman will be reconciling his alien heritage with his human upbringing and the movie will focus on the character’s role as a symbol of hope and light. “Superman: Legacy” scheduled for release on July 11, 2025.

He will shoot in Atlanta between Monday and Feb. 8 for $200 per 12-hour-day. There is also an open call for extras to play high school students at a rate of $90 per eight-hour-day.
“Cobra Kai” reignited and invited new fans to a franchise that kicked off with the “The Karate Kid” movies released 40 years ago. The show gave more depth to the original characters while developing new, younger leads for fans to fall in love with as everyone explores new sides of karate and new sides of themselves. The show’s sixth and final season is expected to release this year, but there is not an exact date yet.

Central Casting has an open casting call for the second season of “Reasonable Doubt.” Various performers are needed to play members of a courtroom audience, staff and clients at a law office, and general Los Angeles residents. The call is for ages 18 and older who can play Asian, Latin American, or Muslim and can work in Atlanta. They will be paid $130 for 10 hours.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Storm activity is expected to fire up around midday, starting inland from the Gulf sea breeze. From there, storms will track eastward at 20-25 mph, and that faster movement is actually good news for flooding concerns.
Some minor, temporary flooding is possible through tonight, especially in low-lying areas and spots that typically flood during heavy rain events.
The best chances for stronger storms and heavier rainfall will be north and near I-10 during the afternoon and evening hours.
The Weather Prediction Center has placed roughly the northern two-thirds of the area under a marginal risk of excessive rainfall.
What to expect through the night
Rain chances will stay elevated into the evening but should taper off after midnight. However, inland Northeast Florida could see a late round of showers or storms develop due to enhanced west coast sea breeze.
Gusty winds and frequent lightning can’t be ruled out. Always have your indoor plan ready to go for shelter access.
Cooler temperatures, patchy fog round out the forecast
High temperatures will run below average, topping out in the mid-to-upper 80s. Overnight lows will range from the upper 60s to near 70 degrees across inland Southeast Georgia, with mid-70s expected closer to the Atlantic coast.
Patchy fog is expected early this morning and again Sunday morning. Brief periods of dense fog are possible, so drivers should use caution on the roads during those early morning hours.

Georgia baseball will resume its NCAA Athens Regional game with Long Island at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 29, after persistent rain—heavy at times—forced the suspension of the game.
The Bulldogs have a commanding 15-1 lead with nobody out in the bottom of the sixth.
The teams and some fans waited out a delay that started 7:14 p.m.
The game was suspended officially at 9:06 p.m. Long Island players were already grabbing their equipment in the dugout to depart for the team hotel before then.
The winner of Georgia-LIU will play No. 3 seed Liberty Saturday in the double-elimination tournament in a game scheduled for 5 p.m.
The loser will play No. 2 seed Boston College at noon.
The No. 3 national seed Bulldogs hit six homers before the game was delayed due to heavy rain.
There was a 53 percent chance of rain at 9 a.m. Saturday, according to weather.com, decreasing to 17 percent at 11 a.m., but there’s a threat of storms in the afternoon.
The Georgia Public Service Commission this week approved a plan expected to reduce utility bills for Georgia Power customers by a few dollars a month.
The commission said the change will generate about $285 million in total annual savings for Georgia Power customers, or roughly $50 per year — about $4.04 per month — for the average residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours a month.
The Georgia PSC voted Thursday to lower overall rates as part of the approved plan.
Georgia Power Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer Tyler Cook said the decision will provide “real savings for Georgia families and businesses as the heat of summer begins and energy use increases.”
“At Georgia Power, our teams work every day to run our business efficiently and keep reliable and affordable energy flowing to our customers,” Cook said.
Cook said the outcome followed months of work between Georgia Power and PSC staff, including reviews, public hearings and input from residents and intervenors.
The approved plan is tied to a stipulated agreement reached earlier this month involving two cases filed with the PSC in February, the Fuel Cost Recovery case and the Storm Cost Recovery case. Those cases addressed recovering fuel costs used to generate electricity and expenses tied to restoring power after storms.
Georgia Power said its rates remain, on average, about 15% below the national average and that it is still on track to provide additional annual savings of about $102 per year for typical residential customers beginning in 2029.
