Paramount has announced plans to cast four Chinese actors through a nationally televised reality show!
According to Angie Han from Slash Film, the competition will be judged by producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura and former AMPAS president Sid Ganis.
Transformers 4 is just one of a growing number of American-Chinese co-productions, but it’s the first to seek stars from China through a reality series.
The straightforwardly titled Transformers 4 Chinese Actor Talent Search will air in the country’s CCTV-6 channel beginning in early June. The group will select four actors out of a pool of contestants aged 18 and over. Two of the winners will be professional actors and the other two will be amateurs. They’ll join other Chinese stars cast through more traditional routes.
