Extras are being sought for The Statement, a new movie by director Tom McCarthy (Spotlight, The Station Agent) shooting in the St. Petersburg area April 6-8.<\/p>\n
Based on Nathaniel Rich\u2019s book Losing Earth: A Recent History, the \u201cdramatic, darkly comic\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
In its review of the book, NPR said this about Rich\u2019s book: \u201cReading like a Greek tragedy, Losing Earth shows how close we came to making the right choices \u2013 if it weren\u2019t for our darker angels.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Deadline, the movie, to be distributed by Sony Pictures Classics, also stars Amy Ryan, Evan Peters and Tatiana Maslaney.<\/p>\n
Frontrunner Casting is paying $200 for 12 hours\u2019 work. Extras must send in name, age, phone number and city of residence; height, weight and wardrobe sizes; two recent photos (and headshot and a head-to-toe full body).<\/p>\n
The company is also looking for original vehicles from the years 1965-1979 with \u201cno wild modifications.\u201d There will be a $150 pay bump if the period vehicle is chosen for the film.<\/p>\n
