Hundreds of unpaid extras needed for Clooney movie on Green Beer Day

OXFORD — Hundreds of unpaid extras will be needed for the George Clooney film “Ides of March” Thursday, March 3 – which is Green Beer Day in Oxford.
Crews for the Clooney movie will be in town next week filming, but will use 708 extras on Thursday, said movie publicist Tracey Schaefer. There is no pay for extras that day.
“We encourage Miami University students to apply that will be willing to stay all day,” Schaefer said, noting they will need to stay on set about 12 hours.
Green Beer Day is marked by Miami students and others with day-long drinking, as students are on spring break on St. Patrick’s Day.
“We know it is Green Beer Day in Oxford... so the production needs students that are committed to staying on set until the film wraps up production for the day,” Schaefer said.
Students interested should e-mail their digital photo, name, cell phone number and e-mail address with “Miami U. Student” in the subject line to daretodreamcastingextras@gmail.com.
