Filmmakers look to Twitter, Facebook for stars

Well, as any good horror film producer knows, the best place to look these days is on Facebook and Twitter. The Z-list purveyors of schlock at Cannes Film Festival, hawking such memorable titles as "Jurassic Prey" and "Sky Sharks", say social media plays an increasingly crucial role in casting actors. When Ted Chalmers, president of Tom Cat Films, happened across the Facebook page of tattoo model Rachelle Nicole Hoffman, he knew she would be perfect for his new film "Angel of Darkness" that he was filming in Arizona. Hoffman already had 200,000 followers on Facebook, thanks to her distinctive body art.
