Open casting for Lyra
New Line Cinema has announced a UK-wide casting call to find a young actress to play the lead role, Lyra Belacqua, in its forthcoming feature The Golden Compass.
Casting directors Fiona Weir and Lucy Bevan will hold open casting calls in Cambridge, Kendal, Oxford, and Exeter during the first two weeks in April.
They are looking for 'a talented young actress who embodies Lyra's loyalty, bravery and mischievous nature.'
Applicants don't have to have previous acting experience, must be UK residents between 9-13 years old, and accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Girls should come without costumes or makeup, dress warmly, and be prepared to wait.
The casting calls will have open queues from 10am-2pm and will end at 5pm.
The exact locations are Cambridge's Corn Exchange (April 4), Kendal's Castle Green Hotel (April 6), Oxford's Examination Schools (April 11), and Exeter's Great Hall at the University of Exeter (April 13.)

When they say to dress warmly, does that mean that the line of people will be waiting outside or that they are going to audition with the North Pole scenes?
Both, maybe? More probably the waiting out of doors, but you never know.
I've been without a pair of pantaloons for a few years now. I know, a huge gap in my wardrobe. Once I rectify that situation, there's really nothing I can't do, as you know.
Maybe the UK will find its Dakota Fanning.
