'Hannibal' makes call for extras
BY DANIEL NEMAN
Times-Dispatch Staff Writer
Casting calls have come and gone in Richmond for
movies that are, at
best, little seen. But now comes the chance to be an
extra in a movie
that may actually be popular.
"Hannibal," the sequel to the highly successful "The
Silence of the
Lambs," will be filming in town for six weeks
beginning in mid-June.
Casting director Billy Dowd is looking for men, women
and children of
all ages, races and descriptions to play an immense
variety of
background characters: FBI men and women, nurses,
doctors, tourists, dog
walkers, bicyclists, joggers, flight attendants,
photographers, golfers,
waiters, car and truck drivers, gardeners, police,
store owners, pedestrians
and others.
A pay scale has not yet been determined, but no one
gets rich as an
extra. The draw, rather, is a chance at minor
immortality in a movie
starring Julianne Moore (as Clarice Starling, the
Jodie Foster role),
Anthony Hopkins (as Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter),
Gary Oldman, Ray Liotta
and Giancarlo Giannini.
Applications will be accepted June 2 and 3 from 10
a.m. to 8 p.m. at
The Shops at Willow Lawn. Those interested should
bring a clear
photograph of themselves; snapshots, Polaroids and
similar pictures will be
accepted. The photos will not be returned.
GOOD LUCK!!!

There is supposedly a casting call put out from Erickson Casting for Hannibal to be held in front of the Macy's in Springfield Mall. I think it was either for today or tomorrow. Heard it on a local radio station this morning.
Slacker -
if the rumor that Spike Jonez will be making a cameo as the hunter that Lacter follows from the gun show and kills is true or not? This seems cool but I hope this doesn't turn into one of those films where a star makes a cameo in every other scene. First we hear about the overboard cast of Ocean's Eleven and now we have to deal with Hopkins, Moore, Oldman, Liotta and Gianini (sp?) all in the same film. I hope this story can survive with all of those egos. I would rather be paying attention to the story than trying to spot all of the "cool" cameos throughout the film. Chris Issac was cool to spot in SOL though.

Fuck being a extra in Hannibal!!!

I live near the "city" in question. Was planning on going up and puting my name on the list. Any advice from someone who has done it? How long should it take (I have to arrange child care...ahem...while I have no problems with my two year old son being in this movie, I think he would seriously make it difficult for me to stand in any line)
On a related note, I would like to hear from any other Richmond readers what they think of Daniel Neman. He actually mentioned Harry once in one of his reviews. Seriously... -
TOP SECRET - there is a new website. Currently it features very dark satire on hannibal. It's way too funny! Hope the lead actor never finds out about it!

comin right up-----get your H'ot n J'uicy Faust chicken with a vintage bottle of Marlowe.

Never done a casting call before, but from the sounds of it the days of the 2nd and the 3rd are more like, drop your application and photo in a box and just leave. I'm more concerned with whether (assuming I got to do it) I could work around my "normal" work schedule to do it.
As for Newman -- he is a dick. I can't stand that man or his reviews. He has some kind of mortal vendetta against science-fiction of any kind (though, who can't agree with him about Battlefield Earth). What took the cake for me was in the last two Star Trek film reviews he made comments about so-called continuity (or just plain logic) errors that would have been completely explained if he had actually been watching the movie!! He also completely disregarded the stylistic differences in animation between Japanese and American cultures when reviewing Princess Mononoke, calling it cheap and underbudgeted or some such nonsense. Needless to say, he's not my favorite person. -
Whoops. Buggered at that last one, confusing tab with the enter key. Only an Irishman could come up with the phrase "minor immortality".

I just heard yesterday about the 5/31 casting call to be held in front of Macy's via the MD Film Commission Hotline. I was there at 11:45 a.m. and was in and out in a jiffy. To anybody contemplating on joining in on the fun, don't get your hopes up. Typically, you're treated like an animated prop and you get the stomach churning cheap food. It's only worth it to aspiring actors, hoping to get bumped up into a one-liner. You should also be prepared for work days that can last up to 16 hours. (In other words, your world will be the set)

I'm glad I'm not the only person who holds Daniel Newman in such... ahem... high regards. I swear that the man must have a checklist that he uses for rating a film. Sci-fi...minus 10. Based on a comic...minus 20. Directed by someone who used to direct music videos...minus another 20. I read his reviews for a good laugh. Or to boil up utter contempt and hatred in my veins.

I was an extra in Robocop 2 when it filmed down here in Houston. For the cattle call, you just drop by, fill out the form, and leave your picture. I got cast as a "healthy newsman" (there were unhealthy ones that had been shot up). It's fun but tiring, as it's almost always hurry-up-and-wait on a film set. It was an all-night shoot, too, so we were exhausted afterward. Leeza Gibbons was the darling of the set, and Nancy Allen was a bitch to everyone. They wheeled Peter Weller in and out on a specially adapted forklift in his Robo-suit. My big scene is when the Old Man and his woman come out to the limousine from the buillding and the press swarm around them. I had a little microcassette recorder that I was supposed to hold as close to the couple as possible. Somebody jostled me from behind (well, we were supposed to be jostling) and I conked that poor woman right in the head with my cassette recorder. Needless to say, that ended up on the cutting room floor. The press badge I had was from some other movie, but it had Jackie Cooper's picture on it. That little item wandered off the set with me, ahem.

I heard they're also going to be shooting scenes in North Carolina. Can anyone tell me when and where?
