I know a lot about certain things. Transport, development. But sod all about everything else. Including, obviously, real life.
Bill will read Dracula!
I would have loved to do such a thing….but i’m french, my english is a bit weak and i’m far….so far….
I would really love to participate in the film but unfortunately I am under 16. I searched for ages on the internet to find the information and was really disappointed to find out the age limit.
I will be 14 at the end of April and was wondering if there is any places for extras that are under the age of 16?
Please email me back as the auditions are in weymouth tomorrow.
Thank you
I have been picked to be an extra on Portland in May - dont know many details yet but am well excited - have got to go for a costume fitting next Wednesday!
@Charlotte - that is great, congratulations! Make sure to keep us up to date about how things are going! Enjoy!!
missed the extras casting…willl there be another one??
@Kate : don’t think so, they are in the middle of shooting it all, so all casting have been done I guess.
I just saw this now!!! ahhh!!!!!
Is this a one off thing? Has this ever happened before as far as you are aware on this site?
sooooo annoying!!
Well (bigger) film productions often cast extras local where they shoot, so yes it happens regularly. I am not sure if it has happened before for films that Bill has been involved in, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did it with Love Actually too.
Oh right. Thanks!
