The results of the fan auditions were revealed today in a video where casting director Terri Taylor revealed that a handful of fans with professional acting experience would be featured extras in the film.
Nathan Moore also was cast as Zipper from his audition - which wasn't a role anyone really knew to audition for. Moore has appeared in bit roles the tv shows Dawson's Creek and Gilmore Girls and long list of shorts and minor roles in films.
It appears that those that were cast had very professionally produced videos and previous film experience, likely were SAG actors in the Southern California area. Considering that the movie is already filming and as extras actors will receive very little in terms of pay, it is very impractical to think many individuals could travel at a moment's notice.
As Cool Trash exclusively revealed, the Jem movie began casting in February under the false name #Famous and casting call information for which specific roles were being cast were sent out to agents. This information was not given to fans, many of whom were well outside of the age range being cast for. Nor were any of the lead roles really up for grabs.
Fans auditioning would have been better off doing an audition video like Nathan Moore did for Zipper rather than trying to audition for one of the lead roles which were already being cast.
