Local Students Cast In Upcoming ‘Chatterbox’ Movie

Two best friends, both students at Ernest Ward Middle School, were cast in an upcoming movie. Angel Mitchell and Cheyenne Godwin both had roles in the new movie “Chatterbox”.

Chatterbox is a teen movie about a 13-year old girl that wants to prove her worth to her parents by winning the talent, popularity, and community competition known as the Chatterbox competition. Along the way, lead character Chelsea cheats to win the entire competition. She learns that was the wrong thing to do, makes a public apology and gives up the  Chatterbox crown.

Angel (pictured in red on the movie set) played Carlie Mitchell, a dancer and a top five finalist in the Chatterbox competition. Cheyenne (pictured in the cheerleader uniform) was cast as a cheerleader.  Other locals Jessica Warner, also a student at Ernest Ward, and Jenson Warner, a student at Byrneville Elementary, had parts as extras in the movie.

“Oh I made it.” That was Angel’s big line in Chatterbox. “I sounded so Southern when I said it,” she said. “It sounded so bad.”

Cheyenne does not have any complete lines in the movie, but she’s heard in the background of a few scenes.

“You could hear me backstage cheering,” Cheyenne said. “There are a couple of spots were you see me between the main characters, but no speaking. But I loved acting in the movie.”

Both girls say the best part about being in the movie, besides their big screen appearances, was meeting new friends. The worst part? Getting called at 1:00 in the morning and being told to be in Gulf Breeze were the movie was filmed. One time, they checked out of school and went to the shooting location. They were home by 3:00 a.m., and they got a call at 4:30 a.m. to be back by 5:00.

“It was a lot of work, but it was fun,” Cheyenne said. “Sometimes the late nights were like a giant sleepover,” Angel added.

Angel, 12, and Cheyenne, 14, recently attended a private screening of the unreleased film.

“It was so weird being up on the big screen,” Angel said. “It was not like I was even looking at me.”

Release plans are in place to show Chatterbox in Indonesia, and producers hope to have a U.S. distribution in place in 2009 for the family-friendly move.
