21 Laps Entertainment and The Jim Henson Company are now in the pre-production stage of the upcoming live-action Disney feature film "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" which is based on the children's book by Judith Viorst. Disney casting executives are conducting a widespread talent search for a boy age 10-12 to play the lead role of Alexander Conners. Both SAG-AFTRA talent and non-union talent can submit via uploading an audition video to the official Disney casting authorized website for this film. Shoting will take place from August through October, 2013 in Los Angeles. The film tells the story of 11-year-old Alexander, who receives no sympathy from his family after suffering through a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. He makes a wish that dooms his mother Courtney, his father Ben, his brother Anthony, and his sister Emily to the same fate, and then he must scramble to help them set things right.
