Semi-finalists Savanna D′Amico, Stephanie Warren and Marcus Welch had their last chance to impress the judges and prove they have what it takes to be a star when they shot an on-camera promotional piece for Starz last week. Now it′s time for the judges to see their work and name the star and the winner of a speaking role in Revolution Studios′ action-adventure film Next starring Nicolas Cage and Julianne Moore.
