Looks like the audition is already finished....

 

[Kivat]

This is like a dream come true. I've been waiting the longest for a live action X-Men series.

 

[Forever Knight]

Very interesting.

 

[shinkenblack]

Hopefully it'll take place at the school.

 

[Forever Knight]

Hopefully it'll take place at the school.

I think it would be something like X-Men Evolution.

 

[Kamen Rider Cero-G]

If it's like the Gen X pilot, then it should be good, but then it'll be on SyFy:redface2:

 

[VengeanceGOD]

I'm kind of surprised at the terrible grammar in the casting notice.

 

[Lustful Butchery]

I wonder if it's gonna be in the movie universe or just it's own breed.

 

[Blazing Tiger]

Id think its own breed. But making it in the movie universe wouldn't be so bad. I personally loved the movies.

 

[VengeanceGOD]

Ok, I'm changing the thread title because this is looking fishier and fishier. Here's the website for the production company behind the series:

http://majorpowerproductions.weebly.com/index.html

It's a weebly website, which is a free website service I use for my podcast. They list themselves, with again terrible grammar, as a music video production company but only have three videos on their website for completely unknown bands. It doesn't sound like the kind of person Marvel and Syfy would use.

EDIT: Oh man, I should've read the original ad closer. "Non-union"? Yeah, this is fake. Most likely a fan series that's HOPING to be picked up by the Syfy channel. I sent an email to the address listed in the ad, asking for more information.
