Good news today for those interested in extra work. It looks like Spielberg has opened the floor for extras! We get the scoop from Speilberg Films via Latino Review:
It’s no secret that the cast and crew of “Indiana Jones 4” will be traveling to New Haven, Conn. to shoot a sequence for one of the most anticipated films of Steven Spielberg’s career, and now’s your chance to be a part of the action!
The production is holding an open casting call for extras to appear in a sequence where Indy tears through campus on a motorcycle (along Chapel Street in New Haven). The call, organized by Billy Dowd Casting, will be held on Monday, June 11 and Tuesday, June 12 at the Omni Hotel at Yale between 1 p.m.-9 p.m. both days.
You must be 18 years or older, and you must bring a headshot with you to the casting call. (Photos will not be returned, so make sure that it’s not your only copy.) Filming of the New Haven sequence will take place between June 28 and July 7.
I wish all of our budding thespian readers the best of luck!! I personally have never been an extra but I know some people that have, and they have all had a great time. Gary Wintle was in Fantastic Four and it was a blast to try and pause the film so we could see him in the crowd. Go forth and extra!
