Mad Angel Films is proud to announce auditions for our 15th film, "Romeo 3000". It's an exciting new twist on the classical tale of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Romeo 3000 has the classic style of dialogue which we all know and love but it is set in the future in a post-apocalyptic world. It is a world filled with gangs, mutants, and cyborgs. It's a tale of love and revenge that follow a Robo Romeo.

Plot:
Romeo 3000 is set in the year 3000 after years of wars, plagues and disasters. Society as we know it destroyed. What is left to rule the wasteland of Verona are two gangs both alike in dignity who battle for control. House Capulet is victorious and believes to have wiped out all of the Montague... Yet one still lives. This is not the story of Star-Cross'd lovers. It is the Tale of Romeo, last of the Montague who seeks revenge for his family.
Parts we are Casting:
We have many parts available but to make things easier for auditions we're having people read for these parts.
Romeo: Male (mid 20s to 30s) Romeo is charming and heroic but he is often rash when it comes to decision making which lands him in trouble. He easily falls in love with every girl he sees and wears his emotions on his sleeves. After an ill fated meeting with Tybalt, Romeo is left for dead. To survive he undergoes a procedure that turns him into a cyborg. Now he is out for revenge against the Capulets.
Juliet: Female (20s to 30s) Young and naive describes Juliet. She is a rose in the desert and one of the last remaining untouched pure things in a world that is in ruin. She is quick witted and often finds the good in people. She falls in love with Romeo, her family's enemy.
Mercutio: Male ( 30s to 40s) Mercuito is a friend and watches over Romeo. He saves Romeo from his family's fate and looks after him. Mercutio often sees things how they are and offers guidance to Romeo even though he knows Romeo will never listen.
Lord Paris: Male (30s) Flashy womanizer from great wealth whose temper gives way to his flair for a little ultra violence. Lord Capulet has promised his daughter Juliet to him but when he finds out that she has been defiled by Romeo he goes on a bit of a rampage.
Lord Capulet: Male (50s to 60s) A ruthless and powerful man who commands authority. He is looking out for his legacy to see it grow and for the name Capulet to be feared by all. Lord Capulet is not a forgiving man but he can be a fair man. He also cares deeply about his daughter.
Lady Capulet: Female ( late 30s to 50s) Lady Capulet is all about the finer things in life in what is left of the wasteland of the world. She too can be cruel and mean but has a soft spot for her only daughter, Juliet.
Azreal: Female (20s to 30s) Azreal is Lord Paris's Angel of Death. She is a cyborg like Romeo and a bounty hunter. She is tough as nails and a total bad ass. She is dispatched by Lord Paris to hunt down and capture Romeo and Juliet after they run off.
Grace: Female ( 30s to 40s) Grace is the leader of muntant bandits that lives on the outskrits of Verona. Like all leaders she looks after her people, but has a mean streak when it comes to people who aren't like her. Especially cyborgs.
