BY BEACON NEWS STAFF
A casting company is looking for extras to work in the Johnny Depp movie that will be filming in Aurora on April 5 and 6.
Last week, Paramount Theater signed a contract to film part of "Public Enemies," starring Depp and Christian Bale, in downtown Aurora. The movie is [SIZE=3]directed by Michael Mann.
The film, about the life of gangster John Dillinger and the birth of the FBI, is set in the 1930s. In order to recreate the look and feel of the film, male extras need to be less than 6-foot-2 with a jacket size no larger than 44 and female extras must be shorter than 5-foot-8 with a dress size no larger than 10.
The press release cautions people not to call if they do not match the size requirements, because the casting agency cannot make exceptions.
To reach Joan Philo Casting, call is (312) 924-1840.
When you call in a recorded message will prompt you to leave your name, phone number, and make sure to let them know you are calling for the Aurora shoot.

I could go and ask him about the director's cut of "The Keep."

Go for it, Scott. Johnny Depp! Woo hoo! But maybe his cuteness doesn't appeal to you.

Aw heck, it'd be fun even if the only thing anyone saw of you in the movie was the back of your head!

I knew a guy years ago who -- when we watched the movie Donovans Reef -- exclaimed, "See that! See that! That's my leg!"

Ahhhh. Immortality.

Do it and get some pictures too!!!!

Make sure its not a ripoff first. If its valid have fun with it.

Go for it! If nothing else, it might be something neat to say you have done.

A local horror writer that I work with is having one of his books made into film. They are going to film locally and he promised me that I could be in it. I told him I would be happy with "woman walking by" as my credit......lol
