The acclaimed director Ken Loach wants to cast two young women from Glasgow in his new film – even if they have never acted before.<\/p>\n

The 74-year-old, whose Scottish productions include Sweet Sixteen and Ae Fond Kiss, is returning to the city to shoot The Angels’ Share.<\/p>\n

The film is about a troublemaker given one last chance to stay out of jail.<\/p>\n

Auditions will be held in Glasgow next week. Entrants must be aged between 19 and 26 and have a Glaswegian accent.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of the auditions, Loach said: “The cast is all falling into place – there’s a fantastic bunch coming together to work with us, we’re delighted.<\/p>\n

‘Sparky Glaswegians’<\/span><\/p>\n

“We have some great girls in the cast already, but there is definitely room for two more sparky Glaswegians.<\/p>\n

“We’re keen to open this up to girls who may never have acted before, but who are keen to give it a go.”<\/p>\n

The Angels’ Share, written by Paul Laverty, is about young Glaswegian troublemaker, Robbie.<\/p>\n

A kind-hearted community service officer gets him on the straight and narrow and helps him carve out a new future for himself.<\/p>\n

The film’s casting director, Kahleen Crawford, said: “With the roles we’re still casting, we realised this could be a chance for someone who wouldn’t normally find out about opportunities like this to put themselves forward.<\/p>\n

“We’re on the look out for new faces. We’re need bright, Glaswegian girls aged 19 to 26, who are just up for giving it a go. Ken works in a way that makes it so easy for people, it’s a lot of fun.”<\/p>\n

Loach has already helped launch the careers of Scottish stars Martin Compston in Sweet Sixteen and Atta Yaqub in Ae Fond Kiss.<\/p>\n

The Angels’ Share’ will be filming in Glasgow and around Scotland from late April until early June, and is expected to be in cinemas in summer 2012.<\/p>\n
