JLO’s new movie “Marry Me” is now filming in New York and the project is looking to cast background actors.
Become a paid movie extra… if you live in the New York City area, that is.
The movie is filming this month and casting directors with GWC have been releasing casting calls in the NYC area to fill various small, non-speaking roles. The project is filming now and the current, posted needs from the movie’s extras casting team are listed below.
The movie comes from Universal and boasts an all star cast. According to reports, Marry Me is a comedy about a pop superstar, who after being hurt by her high profile, rock star fiance, right before they were supposed to get married in a giant event at Madison Square Garden, picks some random guy in the audience to marry instead just to get back at the louse.
“Marry Me” is being directed by Kat Coiro and according to the movie’s IMDB page, is written by Bobby Crosby (who also wrote the graphic novel of the story).
“Marry Me” stars actress / singer Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, Comedian Sarah Silverman and many others. Colombian rapper Maluma is also part of this cast and will be playing the fiance.
IMDB does not yet list a release date on the movie’s page.
