That’s right! The classic holiday film “The Nutcracker” is being turned into a live action film by Disney. Casting directors are looking to fill the lead role of Clara. According to Variety, the story follows young Clara, who receives a nutcracker doll from her godfather on Christmas Eve. When the girl goes to check on it later that night, the clock strikes 12 and she finds herself thrust into a fantastical world in which a war rages between gingerbread soldiers and an army of mice. They also report the movie will be titled “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms” and that the project is based on “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King” by E.T.A. Hoffmann, with Ashleigh Powell set to write the script.
For the role of Clara, casting directors are looking for a female that is between the ages of 13 and 17 years old. The casting call describes Clara as being Clever, creative and independent, Clara goes against female societal conventions of the period. At the beginning of the story she is lacking in confidence, struggling to cope with the death of her mother and trying to find her footing in the adult world. Uninterested in beauty and fashion, Clara is most herself when inventing contraptions and going on adventures; she is most comfortable in her own imagination. As she grows through the film we find her to be self sufficient, strong willed, curious, witty, inventive and ultimately confident in herself. She can be any height or ethnicity.

This is an incredible opportunity to be in one of the greatest classic stories. Only contact the casting director if you fit the role.
