Casting Assisant: Dog’s ‘Cloud Atlas’ Audition Was “Disastrous”
The web has been abuzz this week with the release of the extended trailer for the highly anticipated new movie from sibling directorss Lana and Andy Wachowski, Cloud Atlas. The star-studded and visually stunning 5-plus-minute trailer has been the talk of the Internet, as critics and fans try to dissect the labyrinthine story of the movie, based on a novel of the same name by British author David Mitchell.
But in an exclusive interview with assistant casting director Lorena Trautmann, The Fluffington Post learned that the first choice for the film’s lead was not Tom Hanks, but a puppy actor named Rupert. Unfortunately, he blew his audition – big time.
“He came to the audition dressed as a cloud,” said Trautmann. “Literally… a cloud! I mean, clearly he had never read the book. I’m not even sure if he read the pages we sent him for the audition.”
Needless to say, Rupert was not asked back for a second reading and Tom Hanks won the role handily.

Guinea Pig Regrets Switching Conditioners
By Scott Friedstein, FluffPo Correspondent
According to sources, Griff the guinea pig has been holed up in his hutch since Tuesday, refusing to leave after making quite possibly the worst hair care decision ever.
Known for his impeccable grooming habits, Griff is said to have suddenly switched his conditioner to an unknown, generic brand. The results, to say the least, were horrific.
“It’s pretty bad,” says Hal Dunberg, a friend. “He’s basically just one big mass of fluff. I’’ve never seen anything like it.”
Asked what could have led Griff to abandon his original conditioner, Dunberg could only speculate. "He might have just been trying to save some money. He’ll come out eventually, though. Assuming the frizz dies down, of course.“

“We believe waking up to a cranky cat in your stocking is a much more effective deterrent of naughty behavior,” reads the release. Neither Mr. Claus nor his representatives were available for further comment.
