More on TRAFFIC and how you could be an EXTRA!
Hey folks, Here is a ton of info from Timbuktu about Steven Soderbergh's TRAFFIC and man.... Folks, from what I hear about the shooting of this film, Soderbergh is filling every frame... all the backgrounds... graffitti on the walls, the types of products... Irony is everywhere. I can't wait to see this film, and you good folks up there have a chance to be a part of this film, so... Hop to it! Don't be Harrison Ford! Be Cool, Work on TRAFFIC, it's a great script, a great director and a great cast.
Hey Head Geek,
Read the Traffic report today, sounds cool. The production is indeed moving
on to Mexico next, followed by Texas and Washington, D.C. Word around
Cowtown is that Soderbergh and company will be carting their kilos and
hypodermics into Columbus, OH here within a couple of weeks, after the D.C.
shoot.
Starting in late May, shooting will last for four weeks (a little longer
than I previously reported) and involve over 100 extras and between $3
million and $5 million of the film's budget.
From an article on the Ohio Film Commission's website:
"There will be 26 different locations between Columbus and Cincinnati.
Scenes will include downtown portions of both cities" according to Steve
Cover, State Film Commissioner. "Currently they are filming in San Diego
and will move on to Mexico, Texas, and Washington D.C. before they arrive
in Ohio."
The reported cast (though not necessarily those who will be in Ohio)
includes Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Quaid, James Brolin,
Amy Irving, Don Cheadle, Benicio del Toro, Luiz Guzman, and Erika
Christensen.
The Ohio shoot will involve 26 locations, including the downtown sections
of both Columbus and Cincinnati.
Anyway, they're calling for headshots for anyone who is over 18 years old
and would like to be an extra in the film.
So if you live in the area, you can mail a 3X5 or larger head shot to:
ATTN: Traffic-Columbus
7201 Melrose Ave. #D
Los Angeles, CA 90046
Here's the criteria for the head shot, taken as well from the site:
On the back of your photo, please include your name, phone numbers, height
and weight. Photos will not be returned. All photos must be received by
May 15, 2000.

As a stringent film buff, I must make a note,BTW, that the site incorrectly
lists Pleasantvilleas one of Soderbergh's credits.
As always, keep up the good work.
Until next time,
Timbuktu out

So its Soderburgh soderburgh soderburgh, What i wanna know is how long before old steve has a exhausive breakdown, and shows up running down the street butt nekkid, holding a gun.....does he ever take a break?

I grew up in Ohio, and there's no brighter star in the Hollywood constellation as far as my fellow Buckeye's are concerned. Hell, the Drexel in Columbus holds an annual "Luis Feast," which often rivals the attendance for the Michigan/Ohio State game. Man, they must be going nuts back home.

i wants ta be in da show...
-
Sodebergh DOES have Pleasantville as a credit. He was a producer on the film.
-
I used to work for the Ohio Film Commission a few years ago. It's so cool that it made it to AICN.

holy shit! you mean there's going to be something in my hometown that doesn't suck? where's my camera... gotta get a headshot... too bad i don't have any friends to take the picture for me. damn. Soderbergh is SO the man it makes me hurt just thinking about it... wow, between him and Favreau i'm sure being positive about things today, aren't i? time to throw in a complaint about that fuckwad asshole shitheel schumacher to even the score, i suppose... it's my job to keep punk rock elite (wonder if Soderbergh needs to write in a bit part for a punk-rock-boy? ah, i can but dream...)
-
...man, that movie might be the best directed of Soderbergh's career, and that's high praise indeed. Luis Guzman is a man among men. Women love him and men want to...well, women love him. ALL HAIL LUIZ GUZMAN! (I just thought someone was deserving of unfounded hero worship besides Bruce Campbell)
-
If you ask me, PT Anderson had the right idea when he cast the diminutive, yet iconic, Mr. Guzman as himself in MAGNOLIA. Every filmmaker should follow his lead. All hail Luis!!!

Damn it, why aren't there any requests for extras in filming in
by pips orcille
Damn it, there should be more big films being filmed in the Bay Area! Me want opportunities!
-
The reason? Rain. Fog. And San Fran is now San Diego North - a yuppie hell hole - i.e. too expensive. Pretty scenery, but not even close to the diversity of NY, LA or even Columbus, OH. Hey, maybe they'll make Mrs. Doubtfire 2!
