Extras are being sought for "The Statement," a movie by director Tom McCarthy ("Spotlight," "The Station Agent") shooting in the St. Petersburg area on April 6-8.
Based on Nathaniel Rich’s book, "Losing Earth: A Recent History," the “dramatic, darkly comic” film starring Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti and John Turturro is set at a Florida beach town in 1980, when the global conversation about climate change began.
In its review, NPR said this about Rich's book: “Reading like a Greek tragedy, 'Losing Earth' shows how close we came to making the right choices – if it weren’t for our darker angels.”
According to Deadline, the movie, to be distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, also stars Amy Ryan, Evan Peters and Tatiana Maslaney.
Frontrunner Casting is paying $200 for 12 hours’ work. Extras must send in name, age, phone number and city of residence; height, weight and wardrobe sizes; two recent photos (headshot and head-to-toe full body).
The company is also looking for original vehicles from the years 1965 to 1979 with “no wild modifications.” There will be a $150 pay bump if the vehicle is chosen for the film.
Send all information to THESTATEMENT@frcasting.com, with "BGEXTRAS" in the subject line.
