Looks interesting! I left my details for them as well.... I wouldn't mind getting out of the house. Haha.

Well, I went to the open casting yesterday.  Looooads of people there!  According to this they're looking for 2000 extras, and I think they'll easily get them!

It was a bit anti-climactic, though.  Turn up, stand in queue, get measurements taken, get picture taken, get a "If you don't hear from us within 2 weeks you didn't get it, kthnxbye."  :)

Fingers crossed though!

BAH! I just got an e-mail saying I've been shortlisted for it!  :D

Problem is, I booked a flight for the last filming day because I hadn't heard and assumed I didn't get it!!  :(

It says that if you have to miss a day or 2 they might still be able to make it work, so I guess it's still worth a shot!  :)

Will do! When I responded, I may have fudged slightly on the details of my availability...   ;) :P You only usually get one chance at something like this, if you're a non-actor, so I can't imagine it will ruin my oh so bright non-existent future in film!  ;D

The days often change a bit (or sometimes a lot) as it gets closer, so all may not be lost.  Hope it works out for you!

I got this email from a different casting agency today:

If it's an extra with no lines, why does it specify "North Americans"....do they look significantly different to Brits?
Quote from: camoscato on April 07, 2011, 06:49:27 PM
The easy answer is occasionally they grab an extra to do a small speaking part, so the accent needs to be right.

They're doing re-shoots on WWZ this week, and I got work for today and tomorrow.  As I was getting all sorted out (costume, etc), they started asking all the extras (there were about 30) who was an American.  Turned out I was the only one, so I got A COUPLE OF LINES IN THE MOVIE!!!!

Here's hoping I don't get cut!   :)
