Extras Needed for Film Production in Albany

We didn't learn how much money the extras will be paid for their service, but that may be irrelevant for anyone hoping to land in the film.

According to our source in downtown Albany, interested participants should plan on being there for most of the day, and they told us that extras "should wear casual clothes."

Producers with Paramount Pictures told our source that "they need as many (extras) as they can get" and that there might not be a limit to how many people are chosen.

"Our best guess is that they are trying to make the arena look full," the source told us.
