Currently lensing in the Chicago area
Those who have been following Freddy Krueger’s latest exploits know that shooting commenced on the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake earlier this month. The production has settled down in and around Chicago, making the most of the areas residents and its schools. This weekend, a casting agency posted a notice on Craigslist – they’re looking for more extras. Read on and see if you fit the profile they’re searching for…
The feature film A NIGHTMARE on ELM ST needs, You!
Hello! Joan Philo Casting is searching for African American females and African American males, ages 40 to 80 (and all other ethnicities males and females, ages 20-years and up), ASAP for a wonderful, realistic scene on Tuesday May 19th to work as non-speaking paid extras. We are especially searching for elderly African American women. This is an all day scene (a normal shooting day is 12 hours and sometimes we go a few hours longer). We feed you lunch (wonderful lunch) and you do get paid. The pay is standard extra rate for the city of Chicago.

This scene might involve a wardrobe fitting that you must be able to attend this coming Monday, May 18th (we have different times available, anytime from 9am until 7pm). The wardrobe fitting will take an hour or two of your time if you are needed for the fitting.

In the subject line of the e-mail please put your age and ethnicity, male or female.
Please include all your stats (height, weight, clothing sizes, shoe size) with your phone number.
This film is not only iconic but one of our masters at horror. We are thrilled to be a part of this â donât be shy, come on, itâs a movie!
Okay, send in all photos immediately, if not sooner! Please list any extra work you have worked on (itâs okay if you havenât worked as an extra before).
*Please note that all photographs will be considered — they do not guarantee and extra spot. We cast many films so there are many chances.
