Are you, like the M-Net Movies channels, obsessed with Hollywood? Do you secretly re-enact scenes from your favourite films when nobody is watching – or even when they are? Do you fancy yourself an undiscovered acting talent? Or do you just love having fun and trying out new things? With a little imagination and the assistance of some friends, you might just find yourself on a flight to the City of Angels – starring in the “Greatest Movie Ever Made”!

The M-Net Movies channels on DStv have created a fun-filled, unique new competition, inviting undercover movie stars of Africa to participate in the “Greatest Movie Ever Made” casting competition. While the twelve best aspiring actors will get the opportunity to live out their dream opposite well-known stars in a short M-Net Movies production, the winner of this competition will win an all-expenses-paid trip to Hollywood for them and their partner, all of which will be filmed by the M-Net Movies team!

So, how do you enter this once-in-a-lifetime casting competition? The first step is to show off your acting skills by re-enacting a scene from any movie currently showing on the M-Net Movies Channels: M-Net Movies Premiere (Channel 104); M-Net Movies Smile (Channel 105); M-Net Movies Action + (Channel 106), M-Net Movies Showcase (Channel 107); M-Net Movies Action (Channel 110); M-Net Movies All Stars (Channel 111) and M-Net Movies Zone (Channel 139). Thereafter, you need to upload a video of your re-enactment to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #MMGreatest. Then, very importantly, you have to go to www.mnet.tv/MMGreatest to fill out an entry form to validate your entry. This needs to happen within the first week of posting your video on social media.

The closing date for entries is Wednesday, 31 August 2016 at 23:59. 

A panel of experts will pick the top 12 actors from these casting videos, who will then be brought to Johannesburg for casting call-backs on Mon 26/Tues 27 September and the six best actors will find themselves stepping into the opportunity of a lifetime – acting in a real production.

The script for this production will be written by the highly talented Tebogo Malope, and the top 6 will be starring opposite seasoned actor Thapelo Mokoena (Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom; Wild At Heart; Fear Factor SA) as well as comedian Thomas Gumede; the face of M-Net Movies, Lalla Hirayama and presenter and fashion designer Maps Maponyane.

The Top 6 finalists will travel and be booked for filming from Thurs, 29 Sept – Sun, 02 Oct 2016. Travel and accommodation for the Top6 will be arranged

The competition is open to both DStv Premium and DStv Compact subscribers older than 18 years in South Africa, as well as the rest of Africa. Ts and Cs apply. For more information visit www.mnet.tv/MMGreatest.
