St. Pete casting call: Extras needed for Paul Rudd film

• It's set in 1980, hence a note in the casting notice asking men to specify if they'd be OK growing out their hair and "receiving 1980s haircuts if necessary."
• The agency is also seeking vehicles from 1965-1979 "with no wild modifications."

The gig pays $200 for 12 hours of work, $50 for costume fitting, and $150 for period-appropriate cars.

Zoom out: The film, directed by Tom McCarthy (known for "Spotlight," "The Station Agent" and more), is based on the book "Losing Earth" by Nathaniel Rich, per Deadline.

• The true story, which started as a New York Times Magazine piece published in 2018, chronicles the decade from 1979-1989 when scientists and activists were sounding the alarm about climate change.
• Part of the book takes place during a 1980 conference at the Don CeSar hotel in St. Pete Beach.

💭 Kathryn's thought bubble: Considering my wealth of acting experience (ensemble roles in TWO community theater musical productions), I may give this a shot. Watch this space.
