Film roles to be auctioned off at Cannes Film Festival

Cannes Film Festival offers chance to date movie star

EVER wanted to star in a top movie but knew you didn’t quite have the Cannes Film Festival-worthy acting talent for it?

Well fear not, for hope has arrived for all you budding Paris Hiltons out there.

With the Cannes Film Festival hot on our cubic zerconia-laced heels, we’ll probably be watching the red carpet coverage from the comfort of our ice cream-stained PJs for the umpteenth year.

But thanks to a clever charity website – and the support of celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Ray Winstone and Jodie Kidd – that could all change.

A live auction will be held at the star-studded event next Friday via EBay and BuyaMovieRole.com.

The witty partnership gives people the chance to bid on everything from film set visits, premiere tickets and actual film roles, to producer roles, cameos, walk-on and speaking parts or even dates with movie stars.

Co-founder of BuyaMovieRole.com, and cult MTV film director, Tim Burke said: “This will be the world’s first live movie role auction, so we’re really excited to be involved in it.

“Especially as the proceeds go towards charitable causes set up by the film and entertainment industry.”
