According to Anchorage Daily News, Everybody Loves Whales, an upcoming movie starring Drew Barrymore and John Krasinski, will be shot in Alaska this September.
The film is based on the 1988 attempt to rescue three gray whales trapped by sea ice near Barrow, Alaska, though the majority of filming will take place in Anchorage. Barrymore plays a Greenpeace worker and Krasinski plays a small-town news reporter covering the story.
The movie is also expected to hire at least 1000 locals to be extras and has already signed a deal to lease 12,000 square feet of office space in the Daily News building off of Bragaw Street, Anchorage until Dec. 14.

Dear director,
We were wondering if you still needed any extras for the movie. We are a family of 4 (girl 16, boy 14, mom 45 dad 53) and we live in Wasilla Alaska (close to Anchorage). We were also wondering if we could watch the filming?
Thanks
