August 21, 2011: Nanaimo Extras Line Up for "Man of Steel" Casting

Extras The Nanaimo Daily News reports that hundreds of aspiring actors lined up outside Nanaimo's Coast Bastion Inn on Saturday hoping to be cast as extras for "Man of Steel".

    People of all ages, shapes, sizes and ethnicities were on hand, and Joan Miller of the North Island Film Commission said last week that Warner Bros. was not seeking model types, but rather men who look like loggers and fishermen and women who have waitressing experience.

    Those leaving the casting call said they were asked to fill out a form, provide their basic measurements and pose for a photograph. Most people leaving seemed to think it was a positive experience, despite the long wait outside.

"Man of Steel" is currently filming in the Chicago, Illinois area and shooting will move to British Columbia on September 21, 2011. Filming will continue in Vancouver and surrounding areas through January 20, 2012.
