SHELBURNE FALLS — Wanna’ be an extra in “The Judge”?

Boston Casting Inc. will hold an open casting call for Shelburne Falls area residents for scenes that are to be shot for the movie this summer.

The casting call will be held next Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Buckland Town Hall, at 17 State St.

The audition is open to residents 18 years old and older, and the casting company is looking for all types of people, but asks that no children be brought to this audition.

“We will be filling in with people in the background,” explained Greg Bull, an extras casting director with Boston Casting. “We will want people in the background, walking on the streets or being in the shops — regular people doing what they’re doing.”

“We start filming June 3,” he said. “We’ll be filming Monday through Friday, about 12 to 14 days in Shelburne Falls.”

He said a casting call will also be held in Boston on May 18, and that the reason for holding both on the same date is so that the local casting call will be mostly for local people.

“It’s your town, and we’re guests, and want you guys to be involved,” he said. “It’s also a chance for us to meet the local people.”

Boston Casting asks those auditioning to bring photos of themselves to the audition. If you don’t have printed photos of yourself, an electronic image could be emailed to Boston Casting, said Bull.

Boston Casting is also looking for cars and pickup trucks for film scenes, with models from the 1980s up through 2000. Those who have a vehicle for consideration are asked to provide a clear photo of it.

Boston Casting is a 22-year-old company that has cast principal actors and extras for several movies, including “Labor Day,” which was partially filmed in Shelburne Falls last summer.

The latest Warner Bros. movie, “The Judge,” will star Robert Downey Jr. It is a drama about a successful lawyer (Downey) who comes home for his mother’s funeral and learns that his estranged father is a murder suspect. The all-star cast is to include Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester and Vincent d’Onofrio.

'Merchants roll out red carpet for filmmakers'

THE RECORDER

SHELBURNE FALLS — Will movie-making become the next big “tourist” industry for Shelburne Falls? If so, merchants are ready to roll out the red carpet.

While town officials are putting the finishing touches on a filmmaking permit process, local businesses are getting ready for additional business this summer.

“I’m absolutely proud and delighted that Warner Bros. Film Studio has chosen to do substantial filming of ‘The Judge’ in our blessed wee village of Shelburne Falls,” said entrepreneur Michael McCusker, former owner of McCusker’s Market and current owner of the Bridge of Flowers Business Center. In a one-page letter that McCusker handed out at Buckland’s annual town meeting, he said: “I feel that the inconveniences that we will undoubtedly tolerate (which means a little more preplanning of our day) is easily worth it, when I consider the tremendous value the production process brings to the village. ... Having a movie here sheds a most positive light on us one and all, and thus becomes an invitation to ‘customers’ to visit us from nearby communities.”

“At the end of the weeks of filming, we will have benefited from a tremendous marketing package to be felt for months and years to come,” McCusker concluded.

Meanwhile, the Greater Shelburne Falls Area Business Association has announced a special merchants promotion, to help introduce the local village businesses to the filmmakers. The association will be creating eight local products gift baskets that will be given to “The Judge” film stars, the producer and director. Association members have been invited to include some of their products. Also, the business association will create a Shop Local Card to be given to each of the estimated 130 crew members who will be in the village for about three weeks, according to an email from the business association sent out on Thursday.

“We have been told that 80 percent of the crew are from Massachusetts, so they could very well come back to the region with family and friends after filming,” said the notice.

The card will resemble a debit card, with a picture of the area on the front and a special code on the back, along with a website address. When users log in to the website, there will be a list of participating businesses, contact information and the promotion that each would like to offer. The card will be valid from this June until Aug. 30, 2014. At any time, participating businesses will be able to update or change promotional items. Also, they will be given signs to post in store windows, showing that they are participants in this “shop local” effort.

Businesses must belong to the business association to participate, and they must contact the business association by May 20 if they want to be part of this effort. To join, members should email the business association at info@shelburnefalls.com

Last June, Shelburne Falls was the setting for a coming-of-age Hollywood film called “Labor Day,” starring Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin. That film was directed by Jason Reitman and is expected to be released for distribution this year. The movie was about an unhappy single-mom and her 13-year-old son in a New Hampshire mill town. It was set in the 1980s, and so the Shelburne Falls storefronts shown in the film were given 1980s “makeovers,” and the actors wore vintage clothing. The village temporarily became “Holton Mills,” with fake road signs to go with it.

This June, Warner Bros. will be filming scenes for “The Judge,” which stars Robert Downey Jr., Vera Farmiga, Leighton Meester, Robert Duvall, Vincent D’Onofrio and others. The plot is about a successful lawyer who goes to his hometown for his mother’s funeral only to discover that his estranged father, the town’s judge, is suspected of murder.

A Warner Bros. production office has been set up on Bridge Street, and filming is expected to start in June.

Bobby Goren background...

Some of you may have heard Bobby Goren was like a modern day Sherlock Holmes but his character was actually based on this man...

Park Dietz, MD, PhD, MPH (born 1948), is a forensic psychiatrist who has consulted or testified in many of the highest profile US criminal cases including Jeffrey Dahmer, The Unabomber, the Beltway sniper attacks, and Jared Lee Loughner. He came to national prominence in 1982 during his five days of testimony as the prosecution’s expert witness in the trial of John Hinckley, Jr., for his attempted assassination of President Reagan on March 30, 1981. Then an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, Dietz testified that at the time of the shooting, Hinckley knew what he was doing, knew it was wrong, and had the capacity to control his behavior thus was not legally insane.

Dietz is also a criminologist, and in 1987 he created the specialty of workplace violence prevention in founding Threat Assessment Group, Inc. (TAG), which specializes in analyzing and managing threatening behavior and communications, stalking, risks arising from domestic violence, and other abnormal activity in corporations, colleges, and schools. As of 2013, more than 20,000 senior corporate managers have attended TAG training seminars.

A separate company, Park Dietz & Associates (PD&A), is a forensic consulting firm specializing in criminal behavior analysis, forensic psychiatry, forensic psychology and other forensic sciences, serving prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, and attorneys representing defendants and plaintiffs in civil litigation.  PD&A’s national roster of experts includes physicians, psychologists, and retired FBI agents with wide expertise on the forensic aspects of fields as diverse as neurology, social work and pathology.  Both TAG and PD&A are headquartered in Southern California with PD&A having a second office in Washington, D.C.

The Los Angeles Times called Dietz, “America’s best-known forensic psychiatrist.”  On the TV crime drama Law and Order: Criminal Intent, the detective Robert Goren (played by Vincent D’Onofrio) is based on Dietz, who also served as a forensic consultant to that show and the original Law & Order series. A 2006 profile of Dietz in the British national newspaper The Independent quoted him as saying that both he and the Goren character possess, “idiot savant knowledge of obscure things that pop up in relation to crimes.”

Mystery solved!

Those of you who remember the 'Fluff Campaign' from years back when we protested against USA Network's ditching of the main characters of CI might also remember we collected money for this beautiful statue of appreciation for Katie.  We sent it to her agent's office and never heard a word.  That was over 3 years ago and I just spoke to Katie's niece who contacted her and she confirms she got the statue and it is sitting on her fireplace mantle.  She loves it and thanks you all very much!
