Next week a new movie starring Miles Teller, Aaron Eckhart, Katey Sagal, and Ciaran Hinds will be filming in Rhode Island and they are looking for fans to fill in the crowd for a boxing scene.
This isn’t a paid gig but all are welcome to register and be a part of movie history!
Bleed For This, which follows the rise of world champion boxer Vinny Pazienza, is being directed by Ben Younger and executive produced by Martin Scorsese. Paz famously recovered from a near-fatal car crash before winning three world boxing titles.
Extras are needed for a shoot taking place at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, RI on Tuesday, Nov. 11 and Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Two shifts are currently available for extras, from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday. The only requirements are that participants must be 18 years of age, have a valid driver’s license, and they must wear 1980s attire with no logos. There will also be giveaways for TVs, premiere tickets, and memorbilia throughout the day.

I’d like to be an extra in Bleed For This in December. I would be driving down from Boston. I have been ruined by the recession. I’ve been out of steady work for over three years surviving on occasional odd jobs. The gas I would need to get to and from the set would be paid for out of the tail end of my IRA, which I am years away from taking from without penalty or taxes.
The producers and underwriters of this movie will likely make many millions from the final product. They should at least hand out one $10 or $15 or $20 prepaid card from a major gasoline retailer to every extra in the movie who has given them their time and effort without any compensation.
Seems the more money someone in this society has, the cheaper they are.
