Disney’s McFarland, starring Kevin Costner and Maria Bello, is gearing up to begin filming in the McFarland/Bakersfield, CA area next month and they are looking for extras.
The movie chronicles McFarland’s legendary championship high school cross-country teams of the 1980s and ’90s.
There will be two Open Casting Calls held this weekend in Bakersfield and McFarland.
They are looking for men and women ages 18 and over; all ethnicities welcome. No acting experience is necessary, but attendees need to bring a photo ID, Social Security number and must be eligible to work in the U.S.
Filmmakers also are looking for 1980s-era cars.
The casting calls are at the following:
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the McFarland Community Center, 103 W. Sherwood Ave. in McFarland.
9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday at the DoubleTree by Hilton, 3100 Camino Del Rio Court, in Bakersfield.

I’ve missed the open call. Just saw this advertised on fb. Any other chance or opportunity to audition for any roles?
I just found this add on craigslist today, are they still looking for extras?
