According to the San Francisco Gate, HBO’s Hemingway & Gellhorn, starring Nicole Kidman and Clive Owen, will begin a three-month shoot on Feb. 28 in San Francisco.
The highly anticipated (at least by me) movie, which chronicles the short-lived marriage between Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gellhorn, has built studios at Pier 80.
Extras casting for the movie is being handled by Beau Bonneau Casting. They are currently looking for Spanish and Spanish-looking Men and Women for a scene (likely set in Cuba) that will be shoot over 9 weekdays (3/9 – 3/21) in Oakland. Background roles include: Soldiers, Residents, Workers, Press types, etc. Extras must be approved from photos by the Director and attend a paid wardrobe fitting sometime mid to late February in SF.

In the next 9 weeks of filming, will there be extras for kids or teens in this film?
So there won’t be any “Afro-Cuban” types cast although blacks have been ln Cuba for hundreds of years? Oh yeah, forgot about slavery and DlSCRlMlNATlON. As a result of the slave trade, many HlSPANlCS have AFRlCAN blood. For example, check out the DARK SKlN COLOR and FEATURES of many of your HlSPANlC baseball players. To not portray REALlTY ls a form of DlSCRlMlNATlON/RAClSM.
Yeah I see your point but I think they want to portray the racist class system at the time when Hemingway was there. Blacks and Hispanics were not as mixed as they are now. They could not attend the same functions or even marry.
It was very much like Southern New Orleans who were slaves and became paid servants.
So I understand why they would not need them for certain scenes.
Most Hispanics are NOT mixed with the blood of African slaves blood by the way. The Caribbean is not at all representative of “ALL” Hispanics.
Spain
Chile
Argentina
Guatemala
Honduras
El Salvador
Mexico
Ecuador
Perú
Bolivia
Uruguay
Paraguay
These are all countries that have very low if any populations of admixtures from African slaves. And represent close to 90% of the worlds population of Hispanics..
So to say Check out the skin color of “Hispanic” baseball players as a way of proving all hispanic share African slave decent is just as racist. Dominican and Puerto Rican ball players from tiny islands are NOT representative of all Hispanics.
Check the facts.
