Hundreds Flock to Orlando Boom Movie Casting Call
Comments
The chance to appear for a fleeting moment in an Orlando Bloom film generated enough buzz to attract hundreds to a recent casting call in Kentucky.
As many as 1,300 people showed up at a Lexington hotel Saturday in hopes of landing roles as extras in Cameron Crowe's new movie, "Elizabethtown," starring Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst.
Filming begins next month, but unlike "Seabiscuit" - which was filmed in central Kentucky in 2002 - no scenes will require thousands of extras.
Saturday's casting call and another one earlier this month in Louisville, which attracted up to 4,000 people, were successes.
Crowe's box-office hits include "Almost Famous," "Jerry Maguire," and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High."
