Is this a joke?

A very very cruel joke?

I just got a phone call for a very sweet man and he texted me an e-mail address.

Supposedly, Ridley Scott will be in Muscat tomorrow morning auditioning people for the Gladiator Sequel.

He found this in The Weekly.

I feel like this is some kind of cruel joke...Amber - you moved to Oman, You got fat, You let your acting skills go, You got all depressed because there would never be any opportunities for you...so now, as a result we are going to be casting a movie in Oman. One you would otherwise be great in if you hadn't let yourself completely go!

I e-mailed my information...thinking that perhaps it was a joke.

I got a reply.

"thanks for applying."

Thanks it!

All!

That means...we don't want to waste our time seeing you.

They are making a mistake...I could totally be thin again and buffed out in 2 weeks. And I'm probably the only person in the area who has actually been in front of a camera or on a stage.

I'm about to get persistent.

Anyone know where these auditions are being held tomorrow?

Let me know.

A true actress is relentless.

Ridley Scott is about to start shooting a Robin Hood movie starring Russell Crowe and Cate Blanchett.

Even if he wanted to make a Gladiator sequel he won't start casting it for a long time, and most definitely not in Oman.

oh no! I love the Kevin Costner version...I guess you can't have too many Robin Hoods.

I felt like it was some insane kind of April Fool's joke...I applied 3 times with various headshots anyway :) On the off chance that it might be legit.

Well, and what director/producer casts movies anyway other than through agencies with represented talent? None.

So -I'm starved enough over here to actually send my info to the worst e-mail address ever : want2beagladiator@gmail.com
