X-Men: First Class, which is currently filming in the U.K., will move to the Brunswick, GA area next week.

The movie, which has an all-star cast including James McAvoy and January Jones, is expected to shoot on Jekyll Island through mid-December.

In preparation for filming, an open casting call for extras was held last week in Brunswick. They need to fill about 200 non-speaking roles and are looking for all types of people, ages 18 and older, for a few scenes.

They are also looking to cast extras with specific characteristics:

–Females, ages 18 to 25, slim, between 5 feet 6 inches tall and 5 feet 10 inches, for featured roles

–Males, white, black and Hispanic, ages 20 to 50, with clean-cut appearances and no facial hair, to portray police, firefighters and FBI agents

–Hispanic males in their 40s or 50s to portray military personnel and corporate executives

Most general extras will need to be available one or two days, sometime in December.

If you missed the casting call, you can e-mail clear, recent photographs, clothing size and contact information to xmenextras@gmail.com.
