Will Ferrell Movie Needs 500 Extras

How would you like to be in a movie with Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson?

Up to 500 extras for "Semi-Pro," the Will Ferrell comedy about a 1970's pro basketball team in Flint, will be hired for upcoming filming in Flint and Detroit.

"We're looking for a variety of people for the most part," said Wendy Washbrook, extras casting director for the Michigan locations. "Just normal people who want to come and work with us and dress in 1970's costumes, or wear a wig and sideburns."

Applicants for the paid jobs should mail submissions as soon as possible, Washbrook said.

Submissions should include:

A current photograph, name, mailing address, e-mail address, phone number, date of birth (if a minor), height, weight and clothing sizes. Applicants with cars can supply makes, models and years.

Applicants should send information to:
Wendy Washbrook/Extras Casting,
"Semi-Pro," c/o L.A. Center Studios,
1201 W. 5th St., Suite M310
Los Angeles, Calif. 90017

Photos will not be returned, and phone calls will not be accepted, Washbrook said.

The "Semi-Pro" crew has been shooting in Los Angeles since mid-February. Filming is slated to move to Michigan for the last week of April and first week of May.

"I love working out of town," said Washbrook, a Los Angeles -based freelance casting director since 1994. "People aren't used to being extras, and it's more exciting for people who haven't done that before."

Washbrook said she will begin selecting extras from the applications as early as the end of next week. Extras will hired mainly on a day-to-day basis, but Washbrook said Friday she did not yet have production dates or locations.

Most of the scenes to be filmed in Michigan will be exterior shots, Washbrook said.

Ferrell stars as Jackie Moon, owner, coach and player on the Flint Tropics, a struggling team in the outlaw American Basketball Association in 1976. Woody Harrelson, Andre Benjamin and Maura Tierney also are in the New LIne Cinema production for director Kent Alterman.

"We'll be trying to look like it's 1976 in Flint," Washbrook said.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Jay-Z & Will Ferrell Named 'GQ' Men Of The Year

Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell and Shawn 'Jay-Z' Carter have all been selected by men's magazine GQ as its 11th annual "Men of the Year."

The stars will be featured on the covers of three separate issues, distributed to subscribers randomly and sold on U.S. newsstands nationally from November 21.

DiCaprio was selected for his "leading man" talents, while Ferrell was named "seriously funny" and Carter was dubbed a "Renaissance mogul."

After creating a huge stir last year by featuring Jennifer Aniston on the cover as the first "woman of the year" for the issue, the magazine decided to stick with men, although Lindsay Lohan is featured inside as 2006's "Obsession of the Year."
