Film's casting call wants that 'inbred' look By David M. Brown TRIBUNE-REVIEW Tuesday, February 26, 2008

A movie about to be filmed in Pittsburgh is casting Gothic characters -- including an albino-like girl and deformed people -- to depict West Virginia mountain people. "'Regular-looking" children need not apply.

Redneck wedding? This one meets criteria for the casting call...

I've been trying to locate 300 VDC 400 Hz 3 HP electric motors for days and drawing a blank.

DC is, like, zero Hertz, ain't it?

It’s some funky thing as per Mil-Std-704.

Belajac said the announcement was not meant to stereotype people from West Virginia.

Baloney. Of course it is. West Virginians are one of the few groups of people you're allowed to stereotype anymore.

Also, I could probably count on one hand the number of movies set in West Virginia that aren't horror movies.

I’ve got 8 generations of family from West, by God, Virginia .

5 here. And I'd move back in a heartbeat iff'n there was employment. I lived there for 30 years. God I really miss home.

Anyway... in all the years there, I knew of only 1 inbred clan in one hollow back deep in the woods. Good grief, they were messed up. I don't think they could even blink.

Following their image consultant's advice, the Huckabee family dons
clothing with vertical stripes to make them look so much thinner.
