Want to see yourself on the big screen? “The Statement,” a new film starring Paul Rudd and Paul Giamatti, is coming to St. Petersburg and needs extras. The shoot runs April 6 through 8, and if you’re picked, you’ll earn $200 for a 12-hour day.
This is director Tom McCarthy’s latest project, the person behind “Spotlight” and “The Station Agent.” The film adapts Nathaniel Rich’s “Losing Earth: A Recent History,” and it’s described as dramatic, a little dark, and surprisingly funny. Think 1980s Florida, right when talk about climate change was just starting. You’ll see Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, and John Turturro on set. Amy Ryan, Evan Peters, and Tatiana Maslaney join the cast, with Sony Pictures Classics handling distribution.
NPR had strong words for Rich’s book, calling it a modern Greek tragedy and pointing out just how close society came to taking action, if people hadn’t given in to their worst instincts.
If you’re interested, Frontrunner Casting wants to hear from you. To apply, send your name, age, phone number, city, height, weight, clothing sizes, and two recent photos: one headshot and a full-body shot.
Have a vintage car from 1965 to 1979? If your well-preserved, unmodified ride gets picked, you’ll collect an extra $150.
