Producers were looking for a Caucasian woman with blonde to dirty blonde hair, between 5-foot-9 and 5-foot-11, around four months pregnant and who normally wear a dress size six or eight. No nudity will be required. The woman chosen will work for two or three days in mid-May.

“The producers prefer to use an actual pregnant woman, rather than put a fake belly on the actress. But it’s important that she resemble Charlize in height, weight and hair color,” Veenker said.

“The Road” is based on Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name, it will be directed by John Hillcoat.

Women who fit the requirements were asked to send photos and contact details to Lana Veenker Casting by emailing Eryn Goodman at talent@slateplease.com.
