Forget about "High School Musical" - how would you like to be an extra in a movie starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn?
"Tree of Life," a fantasy-adventure starring Pitt and Penn and directed by Terrence Malick ("The New World," "The Thin Red Line"), will be shooting for a few days in June around the Great Salt Lake and the Bonneville Salt Flats. A casting company is looking for extras of all sorts - "families, spouses, siblings, children, grandparents and people with expressive faces between the ages of 5-65 with timeless, non-modern or unique looks," according to a company news release.
An open casting call is scheduled for May 31 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Deseret Peak Complex Firefighters Museum, 2930 W. Highway 112, Tooele. Bring a nonreturnable photo.
Call 512-637-9782 or e-mail extrascastingcall@gmail.com for more information.
