There is now an in-person open casting call scheduled for the new HBO series “Sharp Objects”. The project will be filming in the Redwood Valley area of Northern California during the month of May, 2017. “Sharp Objects is based on the best-selling novel by Gillian Flynn about a reporter just released from a psychiatric hospital, to cover the murders of two preteen girls.

“Sharp Objects” centers on reporter Camille Preaker, fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, who faces a troubling assignment. She must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille hardly has spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful 13-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family’s Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims, a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story, and survive this homecoming.
Starring in “Sharp Objects” is five-time Academy Award nominee Amy Adams as Camille Preaker, Academy Award nominee Patricia Clarkson as Camille’s mother Adora Crellin, and Eliza Scanlen as Camille’s half sister Amma. Also starring is two-time Golden Globe Award nominee Elizabeth Perkins as Jackie, Young Artist Award winner Madison Davenport as Meredith, and Screen Actors Guild Awards winner Chris Messina as Detective Richard Willis.
