Yesterday, we mentioned that George Clooney and crew would be arriving in Cincinnati this week (we’ve actually since heard that they started rolling into town this weekend) and that there would soon be an open casting call for his upcoming movie, The Ides of March, well today we have received all of the details.
An open casting call for adult “background performers” – or extras – will be 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday (Feb. 5) at Dare To Dream Casting in Longworth Hall, 700 W. Pete Rose Way, Downtown Cincinnati.
The 15,000-plus who have already applied to be extras need not attend.
Clooney will need “hundreds of extras” while shooting throughout Cincinnati in February and March, said Kristen Erwin, Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Film Commission executive director. “There are very obvious locations. They will be prominent around the city,” Erwin added about where exactly the scenes will take place.
If you have applied to be an extra in the film or have any scoop about where they’ll filming, drop us a line at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
Please do not leave comments here if interested in being an extra, all inquiries should be directed to Dare To Dream Casting.

I am so excited that George is coming back to old stomping grounds to film. I have been to the Beehive in Augusta a few times. Also, I have known George’s first cousin, Mike Breslin, for 28+ years, my husband worked with him over 20+, so we have had many good times together. I am originally from Asheville NC so I still have quite a southern accent at 52 yrs of age. I need back surgery so it is hard for me to get out, but I would Love to help out with his movie. Please,please, please get in touch with me. My phone # is 859 291-0962H & cell is 859 380-8209! Thanks so much for your consideration! Make it a great day! Sincerely, Suzanne

Hi George! All my family are from eastern Kentucky, which is where I live now. I grew up in Florida but I love my hometown of Morehead, Kentucky. Such a beautiful state, and I love to ride horses. I am 24 years old and would love to play a part in your movie! Sincerely, Megan
Just wondering, what about young adults auditioning as in 16 or 17 year olds? Because im a little bit confused as to why it’s just “adults” allowed to audition. In a normal city atmosphere wouldn’t there be children? I would greatly appreciate it if you helped me to have a better understanding. You can reach me on my email at jillian_elysse2012@hotmail.com
Hey, what a voice Rosemary has! Yeah, she still has that prettiness, charm and voice, even though. How bright and charming your Dad is. Your Dad’s news presentations and comments made such an impression for being sensible. I’ve no clue what Ides of March is about. Would my hometown of Mariemont be of use for the film? (No need to reply)

George – I was just in Cincinnati on business and staying at the hotel where you were staying. I ran into you several times but was I too chicken to ask you for a picture or autograph. My wife is not too happy with me – is there a way you could send us a picture and autograph – to LISA? I am back in LA now – good luck with filming.
What hotel did he stay in while in Cincinnati? Going to Cincy soon. Would like to book a nice hotel! Thanks!

I’m excited by the mere thought of maybe auditioning and then getting the part.
I’m from cincinnati. I don’t live there anymore, but I’m goin there in the summer. I sent my apppliaction in already, and my mom said we could go to cinci also now if I get a spot as an extra 😀 But I’m 14, so I probablly won’t get a part, because they probablly want older people 🙁 ohh well
Location idea: Aglamesis Ice Cream Parlor in Oakley is a wonderful setting with Tiffany lamps, marble counters, magical mirrors and divine Greek ice cream and hand made candies.
