TRANSFORMERS star Rachael Taylor is to return home to star in a controversial low-budget film set in Sydney’s outer-west that offers a realistic insight into the lives of young Australian Lebanese men.
The producers of Cedar Boys are looking for young men of Middle Eastern background to play supporting roles in the film.

“It will be an explosive real-life look into the hearts and minds of young Australian Lebanese youth in Australia and their constant struggle for acceptance,” said Ranko Markovic, one of three producers of the gritty $1.5 million drama.

“Only someone who has lived that experience can ever really bring depth to that role, that’s why we are excited about this casting.”

Wentworthville resident Charbel Nehme welcomed the film in the hope it would promote greater cultural understanding: “I think a lot of us have been stereotyped and a film like this will be a good opportunity for people to be educated on our point of view.”

I’m so sorry for the lack of updates latley. Miss Taylor hasen’t been on any events in the past month, but she were at Randall Emmett Birthday Party on March 25, sorry for being so late with the update. Enjoy!

AS career moves go, it’s rare that a cancelled soap opera screened over summer provides a lucrative leg-up. But for local blonde bombshell Rachael Taylor, her current rise through the US film industry is built on Seven’s failed Home and Away spin-off, Headland.

While most of her soapie colleagues retreated behind coffee machines awaiting their next acting adventure, Taylor was snapped up by Hollywood’s insatiable appetite for talented, fresh faces - especially those who could double as a model.

She landed a part in Michael Bay’s blockbuster, Transformers, a critically panned extension of the ’80s cartoon, and followed it up with sexy romp The Tourist, opposite Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams.

Again the film was mostly forgettable, but it was another strong vehicle for Taylor to further her stateside career.

“If I had a child, I would never let them near one,” she tells GQ magazine in its latest issue.

“I’ve had to un-learn a lot of beauty pageant tricks as an actor, because acting is about truth, humility and tearing down the facade - the complete opposite of a pageant.”

The magazine features a stylised picture session with Taylor, who is dressed up as a 1950s-style ice cream parlour waitress.

Taylor, who attended Sydney University for a short time before deferring her studies to join the short-lived TV soap Headland, made her name in the US with the hugely successful Transformers.
