Casting Alert! Extras Needed for Matt Damon Movie

"Promised Land," directed by Gus Van Sant and starring Matt Damon and John Krasinski is searching for paid extras.

 

Casting reps for Promised Land, a feature film starring Matt Damon and John Krasinski, are looking for extras to participate in bar and town hall scenes.

Extras who are available for filming are asked to submit casual photos (no modeling shots) via email. A director will ultimately choose the faces, according to an announcement posted on the film's casting page on Facebook.

Bar scene extras should be available to work four days in a row on May 15-18.  The town hall scene will take place over five days on May 21-25.

Applicants can send a picture that includes the following stats: Height, weight, clothing sizes, age and telephone to promisedlandextras@gmail.com. Put “Bar” in the subject line or "Town Hall" depending on which you prefer to work.

"Promised Land," directed by Gus Van Sant, began filming this week in the Pittsburgh area.

Described as an "anti-fracking" movie by the Huffington Post, the movie plot involves two rival corporate executives, one who follows the rules and one who takes shortcuts. 

For more information on casting opportunities, visit the "Promised Land" extras Facebook page or the Pittsburgh Film Office website.
