Casting firm hires for Keys film shoot: Hundreds line up for chance to be a movie extra<\/h1>\n

Conventional wisdom says American teenagers don’t want to work hard, especially for low pay in difficult conditions. Still, 100 or more teens and young adults lined up Saturday for a temp job paying under $10 an hour for working outside all day in August.<\/p>\n

In a bad\u00a0economy<\/span><\/font>, it’s not surprising to see lines of job-seekers. But the people waiting at the Outback Steakhouse and Hampton Inn in Islamorada were probably lured by who was hiring: a company named Dreamworks, for a project led by Steven Spielberg, who you may have heard of, and Michael Bay, director of “Transformers,” “Pearl\u00a0<\/span>Harbor<\/span><\/font>” and “Armageddon” among others.<\/p>\n

Not that this was a star search. The casting call run by Miami Beach-based Ellen Jacoby Casting International was for 30 or so teenage-looking people to be in the background, as extras during filming in the Keys for a few scenes of “I Am Number Four,” a science-fiction film about teenage aliens, the good kind, hiding on earth.<\/p>\n

Bad aliens persuing the teenagers have found them, and they’re killing them one by one. “Three are dead. I am number four,” the\u00a0story<\/span><\/font>\u00a0tagline says. The film is scheduled for release in early 2011.<\/p>\n

D.J. Caruso is directing the film, which stars Alex Pettyfer as Number Four,\u00a0Timothy\u00a0<\/span>Olyphant<\/span><\/font>\u00a0(“Justified”) as his guardian and Dianna Agron (“Glee”) as the love interest. The book came out just last week.<\/p>\n

The production has been filming in Pittsburgh, including high school scenes. Once Number Four is discovered there, he does what aliens have been doing since Blackbeard — he tries to hide in the Florida Keys.<\/p>\n

Jacoby’s assistant, Laura Aceves, said the extras will used in a daytime beach scene and a night beach bonfire scene.<\/p>\n

On which beach, exactly? Jacoby and her team couldn’t provide any\u00a0filming<\/span><\/font>\u00a0details, except that the extras would be in beach scenes filming in the Upper Keys, and the crew may film aerial scenes of cars driving, possibly on the Seven Mile Bridge.<\/p>\n

No adults needed<\/p>\n
