Will Ferrell Movie Needs 500 Extras

How would you like to be in a movie with Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson?

Up to 500 extras for "Semi-Pro," the Will Ferrell comedy about a 1970's pro basketball team in Flint, will be hired for upcoming filming in Flint and Detroit.

"We're looking for a variety of people for the most part," said Wendy Washbrook, extras casting director for the Michigan locations. "Just normal people who want to come and work with us and dress in 1970's costumes, or wear a wig and sideburns."

Applicants for the paid jobs should mail submissions as soon as possible, Washbrook said.

Submissions should include:

A current photograph, name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth (if a minor), height, weight and clothing sizes. Applicants with cars can supply makes, models and years.

Applicants should send information to:
Wendy Washbrook/Extras Casting,
"Semi-Pro," c/o L.A. Center Studios,
1201 W. 5th St., Suite M310
Los Angeles, Calif. 90017

Photos will not be returned, and phone calls will not be accepted, Washbrook said.

The "Semi-Pro" crew has been shooting in Los Angeles since mid-February. Filming is slated to move to Michigan for the last week of April and first week of May.

"I love working out of town," said Washbrook, a Los Angeles -based freelance casting director since 1994. "People aren't used to being extras, and it's more exciting for people who haven't done that before."

Washbrook said she will begin selecting extras from the applications as early as the end of next week. Extras will hired mainly on a day-to-day basis, but Washbrook said Friday she did not yet have production dates or locations.

Most of the scenes to be filmed in Michigan will be exterior shots, Washbrook said.

Ferrell stars as Jackie Moon, owner, coach and player on the Flint Tropics, a struggling team in the outlaw American Basketball Association in 1976. Woody Harrelson, Andre Benjamin and Maura Tierney also are in the New LIne Cinema production for director Kent Alterman.

"We'll be trying to look like it's 1976 in Flint," Washbrook said.

No One Showed Up For 'Project Runway' Auditions

According to the gossip site TMZ.com, auditions held last weekend for the next season of 'Project Runway' were a joke.

There was a record low turnout and casting lines were short.

"Production staff members were "scrambling" to contact more up-and-coming designers to show up.

In the words of the incomparable Tim Gunn, "Make it work!"

Perhaps the fear of being 'auf'ed' by Season 3 winner Jeffrey Sebelia, who was a judge during this weekend's session, kept all the wannabe Donatellas and Gallianos away!"

The first rule in making a videotape audition for National Bingo Night is to have fun.

Making a videotape audition for the program is very easy. Using a video camera, make us a 5-minute tape that explains why you would be an excellent candidate for our show . Be creative, show us your personality - tell us who you are and what makes you unique. Start with your name and hometown. There is no "right" or "wrong" thing to say on your tape, we just want to get to know you in the every day way your friends and family do.

Bad Ideas for your hometape: Taking us on a tour of your home, featuring your friends in the video instead of you (Longtime spouses are OK), or sitting on the couch. We really want to get to know YOU.

Video Production 101...
* Start with your name, age, and hometown. Include a full body shot.
* Make sure we can see and hear you clearly;
* Turn off the television, radio or anything else that might add extra noise;
* Do not sit in front of a window. (The back lighting will make you appear as though you're in the witness protection program – bad.)
* Label the tape with your name, age, address and phone number;
* We can only accept VHS tapes. (The ones that fit in your VCR). If you have a hi-8, digital-8 or DV tape, we prefer if you transfer these formats to VHS. Transferring your camcorder tape to VHS can be accomplished easily. Use the Red, White, and Yellow cables that come with your camera to connect it to your VCR. Push play on your camera, and Record on your VCR. Please run a test and make sure your transfer worked properly.
* Be Kind, Rewind. Rewinding your tape to the beginning greatly increases our fondness for you.
