Grant Wilfley Casting is looking for extras for an upcoming Netflix feature film titled \u201cAIG.\u201d <\/p>\n

The talent agency is looking for people to play roles that include a DJ, secret service and FBI agents and party guests, according to the casting company\u2019s website<\/a>. New Jersey production locations include Jersey City and Red Bank. <\/p>\n

Casting dates are between March 19 and April 1, with production dates in April, May and June, according to the agency. Extras can make up to $260 per day. <\/p>\n

Netflix recently closed on a nearly 300-acre property that was once Fort Monmouth and has begun work to transform the site into a studio campus that will feature 12 soundstages<\/a>, production and office buildings, a cafeteria and retail stores. It will also have production trailers for crews, a hotel, a theater and visitor attractions across Eatontown and Oceanport.<\/p>\n

Demolition on the first phase of the project began in May 2025 at Fort Monmouth\u2019s 29\u2011acre McAfee Zone<\/a>, where four soundstages are planned.<\/p>\n

The campus\u2019 main entrance and centerpiece will include eight additional soundstages, production offices and a public plaza. Construction on the final phase of the project is scheduled to begin this year and be completed by 2028. <\/p>\n
