Hollywood wants extras for Salzburg shoot
By Thomas Hochwarter
Hollywood
film producers are looking for extras for scenes in a new action movie
starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz to be shot in Salzburg later this
month.
The casting for the roles – including passersby, police
officers and even FBI agents – to be featured in "Knight and Day" will
take place on 10 and 11 November between 5pm and 9pm at the Salzburg
Congress Centre (Kongresshaus).
Shooting will take place in the
city centre of Salzburg between 19 and 24 November and extras will be
paid 30 Euros a day, Austrocast spokesman Harald Reich announced today
(Thurs).
Salzburg tourism bosses have been left disappointed
though after they had hoped for a massive tourism boost as the
200-member crew was initially expected to stay in the city’s hotels for
three weeks. But it has now been revealed that they will be around for
less than a week.
But city officials have refused to cut a 300,000-Euro subsidy they are giving the 20th Century Fox project.
More information on the casting can be obtained at www.austrocast.at or via phone under +43 1 / 604 38 71.
