Granting the wish of many ladies across the globe, film bosses are giving fans the chance to star alongside their idol, Robert Pattinson.
For his next film, producers have put out an open casting call looking for extras.
The Twilight heart-throb is starring alongside Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants, based on the historical novel by Sara Gruen.
Producers have posted a serach for "Caucasian men with very 1930s looking period faces," "African American men with short 1930s period haircuts" and "Caucasian women (Kate: Check) with shoulder length hair or shorter,(Kate:WHAT? I've just spent the last year growing it, couldn't I wear a wig or something? Oh go on then I'll cut it, just for you Rob! But I'm not going any shorter than shoulder length!) size 6 or smaller ". (Kate: Huh? Are you taking about the size of my thighs? If that's the case then CHHHHECK! Right off to book a flight for tomorrow!)
Casting will be held on April 17 in LA and the movie is due for release in 2011.
If you happen to tick all of the above requirements (then I hate you !!!) and would like to apply for this (there's a few more requirements to meet as well) then have a look HERE
Thanks to Pam and everyone else that sent us the info!
UPDATED with more info:
So what are extras and what is expected of them on a film set?
-An extra, also called a background actor, is a performer in a film, television show, stage, musical, opera or ballet production, who appears in a nonspeaking, nonsinging or nondancing capacity, usually in the background (for example, in an audience or busy street scene).
-Extras get very few details when called to take on a role from their chosen agency and full details are given the night before the actual shoot. They are given their part, a call time, location and guidance on what to wear for that part.
-Extras expect long days and long periods of waiting around. Some extras may be used very little or sometimes not at all, even if they are on set all day.
So the reality is you won’t be starring with Robert Pattinson or Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants but you may in fact get a glimpse of them if you’re lucky!

Oh, Jesus! NB's, let's get packing! I would happily shovel elephant dung for a chance to work with our man!!
FILTM
Don't even get me started this morning. PFFT *rolls eyes*
They would need a lot of folks just for the circus audiences alone; so many chances for you all to go work wth the lad. ;-)
But I do not understand what a 30s face is. Look as if you've experienced the Great Depression?
I clicked on the HERE..size 6 or smaller for women..46 coat or smaller for the men..*coughfuckinassholescough*
...if it was possible, I would go...i'm not sure about the 30s look.
Couldn't really get past the picture....Kate, your comments are so funny!
@CL - there's an article with this picture???
lol!
good morning! gotta run...
FILTM!!!
bob-haircut - CHECK!
size 6 or less - CHECK!
no tattoos - have a small one on my butt cheek. thank God it takes place in 1930th not 70thS!
now why the f*ck i have to live in europe?!?
damn...
Hair yes!!!!
Size 6 or under? Uhh, my shoe size is, does that count?
LMAO @ Kate!
Don't think I meet the requirements either...aw, shucks!
yeah well doesn't that just suck?
my check list of not's:
1) i am hawaiian portugese spanish irish and chinese. so only my pinkie toe holds my 1/16 irish which would be my only caucasian.
2) i have hair grown down to my arse n though i love rob would never cut it.
3) the only time i've seen a six in reference to my size is in feet for how tall i am.
so i shall be sour and throw a self pity party. yet i will be very HAPPY for those of you who make the cut!!! go for it ladies!
LOL @ Kate, your comments are brill!
Gosh, you know, I'd be perfect for this but that bloody volcano nonsense has grounded us all here in the UK - that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it ;)
I love that picture!!!!!!!!
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!
Yum!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking wow Kristen is one lucky girl and then I saw a picture of hers in Flaunt magazine ( I think that's correct) and Wow. Both Rob and Kristen are amazing.
@MCvelvetkitten
okay now that kinda sucks. to be that close and the only set back being your residence? ouch.
here i am feeling sorry for not meeting any. so...
i give it to you girl
@Deelight
i have to agree with you on everything. love those two to bits.
and how is her pic in flaunt? very edgy. i like when she has those photo shoots. yet i'd love them to change it up cuz that's all she has for photo shoot themes. haha.
I finally read the article with the picture. Sorry that picture makes me forget my name. I can not even think of staring alongside Rob. I would not be able to function if I were near Rob. I like to drool in private.
@ Noe: Yes Kristen's Flaunt pictures ( I have only seen 2) are edgy, very cool. Rob's Details magazine pictures are my favorites.
They should add-"GIrls that are a 6 that look like women,cause a majority of WOMEN dont wear that size" WTF! My azz is a 6 the rest of my body says NO FKN COMMENT! When they look for a hot latin mama with tits and azz then Im your girl. Damn this SUCKS!! To those who fit this description--
I envy the hell out of ya's-now get over there!! and tell us everything about it !!
Umm... I could play an elephant if they need an extra elephant with a depressed face. :)
I'll play the bearded lady or the clown, half man-woman. These are the stars of the show too damnit!! Im NOT going as an acrobat though-my knockers would come clean out.
Pfft Agnes! You made me spit tea on my keyboeard!!
I don't believe that you'd make a good elephant at all :) Although, that would be a cunning disguise to get near to The Pretty ;)
That's KEYBOARD, still coughing from the tea-spitting...
good morning/afternoon to all the nice people!!
What article??? ________________dead_______________
ALL I CARE IS ABOUT THIS MAN... and his beauty!!
still choose to ignore the bad smell!
What a great experience to be near him filming a movie.. JC even if it is shoveling elephant dung!!!!
LMAO!! luv ya!
AGNES!!! woman you are too much. but ey i'd be right there with you. haha.
and good luck with that tea n keyboard thing 50shades
I just clicked on the HERE for more information and they burst the bubble...you are not starring alongside rob, they are extra parts with no speaking roles (i tried to copy over but couldn't)... but i you might have a chance to see him. i would try if i lived in calif.
Size 6, no tattoos, piercings, implants, dyed hair???
So all of us crazy circus types are OUT? And this
was supposed to be our one shot at getting in
the same frame as the The Pretty!
Going back to eating my pickle in peace....

Is there a specific age??
@Solas: Hey - haven't seen you about much. Hope all ok with life. :) Yeah, they want faces for crowds/students/audience that do look a little lived, or more natural. At the very least - don't overdo the..er..'cosmetic' look. Also, fyi, RM passed $4mil in the UK. I know that's partially due to the xchange rate, but good support all the same.
Loisada - I read that too...no piercings, tattoos, implants or dyed hair...there goes ALL of hollywood LOL.
Well if my ears weren't peirced I would be able to try. However I don't have the time or the funds to travel to Calif.
@Agnes: I'm sure you could not, but on the other hand, if one could be an elephant you'd have license to search his pockets for peppermints.. ;)
Ana: there goes all Venice and Santa Monica, at the very least!
And oh AP...riffling through his pockets!@! You just gave me goosebumps, ALL over!
Kate, you made my day with the "These people are fussy" tag...
*still chuckle-snorting quietly*
@Loisada: heh, heh! I had a vision of Rob doing a double-take: "Uh..what was that?" Lot of whistling from the shadows: "No-one here except us elephants..."
And thanks for that pic, Kate.
AP.... nope, no one here but elephants and us kitties just waiting to be tamed!

hi Ap--am here, mostly well; Because i am so verbose and mostly serious I TRY to comment only when I have something I really need to say. 0:-)
Am so glad about Remember Me box office incoming, but I would really like it to get the recognition it deserves--- beyond money.
My hair is down to middle of my back, am not size 6 at the moment (not even my shoes), and I think I look more like a face from the 60s than the 30s. O well--I don't like circuses anyway. :-) If i am meant to meet up with and talk with Rob, it won't be to star alongside himself. :-)
Well, there goes my Rob dream. I have tattoos, pierced ears and highlighted hair. Back to staring at the Pretty from a distance.
Amy logs onto computer, reads this
"Mum.... we're moving to LA!"
Would be amazing...
*sighs*
If only, I fit the criteria so this just makes me sad! short hair, size 6-8 and Caucasian.
Stupid Volcanic ash ruins everything!
A little off topic here, but good GAWD! That picture makes me want to climb to the mountain top and sing like Julie Andrews!!!
Am I right, or am I right??
@50 shades: sorry for the keyboard!
I'd play a pregnant elephant. My Hungarian accent is too strong to play any other part. :)
This is a very strange casting call.
For background (especially a crowd at a circus), you want a wide variety of looks; old, young, tall, short, thin, fat. And you need children. As for having a
30's look? Who has that today? That's what hair, makeup and wardrobe are for. And only women who are a size 6? Women in the
30's were only one size? And believe me, there were very few women who wore a size 6 in the thirties. Not too many years ago, 5-7-9 were considered very petite sizes for women. Today? We have size O. Pretty soon, we'll just disappear all together. But still, very strange casting call.
Unless...they're just casting for the background 'circus performers' right now and they'll get around to the 'crowd' background later in the filming. Yeah. For those extras they might be looking for a very specific type and yeah, female circus performers wouldn't be big girls...unless you're the 400 lb. woman in the sideshow.
Wait for the 'crowd' background casting. Then you'd have a much better chance.
Hmmmm...
Yanno. If they film part of this in Downey as I suspect they might, I only live about 10-15 minutes from that studio. Hmmm...
And the reason I think they might is because Downey boasts the largest indoor soundstage on the planet and Hollywood uses it all the time ('cause it's just down the road a piece on the 405) and I would imagine it would be perfect for filming the inside of the big top; performers, all those animals, the crowds.
Hmmm...
NIK!!
I hope you have room on your couch for some visitors!! Namely, me. I know we've never met face to face, and have barely spoken, but I make a mean grilled cheese, and never leave without cleaning up my mess first.....
P.S. I used "Rob F*ING Pattinson" on my FB account last night and nobody got it. I need cooler FB friends.
Grill cheese?
Yeah. I can be bribed with cheese.
Isn't that sad?
*SNORT* Me too.
Cheese in any form is gold to me.
My hottest fantasy....Rob. Me. The Tillamook Cheese Factory in Oregon. The lights go out *GASP* we're trapped.........
Well, you get the rest. Because he's Rob F*ING Pattinson.
I dunno Sarah. I think I'd like to be trapped with over night in the Hershey plant in Pennsylvania.
Ooooh. All that gooey chocolate. He could dribble it on me. I could dribble it on him. He could lick it off of me. I could lick it off of him.
Okay. I really can't do this today. I have a life and I must go out and live it but it's really difficult because he's...
*say it with me girls*
HE'S ROB FUCKING PATTINSON
@Nik & Sarah
I love to cook! I would be willing to take part in that deal, if you don't mind. I could make a pot of homemade soup to go with Sarah's grilled cheese. Vegetable beef is my favorite!
Hey anybody the gets in should take a picture/pictures and give Rob a big wet kiss for us. Good luck girls!
ROB F*CKING PATTINSON!!!! Wheeeeeeee!!!!
Thanks, Nik. Now I'm azz deep in the pantry looking for chocolate.
Changed my pic, too. In the name of ambiguity...why?
Rob F*ING Pattinson.
Why?
I don't know.
Sarah...
I'm guessing that's you and your little girl. You're both so beautiful.
I'd show you one of mine, but I swear, I can't find a single one in which I don't look like a gun moll.
Or a serial killer.
Although as a Virgo, I tend to be a tad critical.
And opinionated.
And annoying.
See? I'm doing it now.
Thanks, Nik!
You only think they're beautiful because I'm blatantly hiding my GUT. My cheese obsession doesn't help. Neither does my obsession with sitting my fat azz in front of the computer to stare at pictures of Rob F*ING Pattinson.
But I'm not giving either one up.
I'm a taurus. We're stubborn. *SIGH* The Pretty and I almost share a bday. I'm off by 2 days. Coincidence? I think not.
Cute, cute pic Sara..and she's a doll~!
I hear ya Sarah. I wanna drop a few pounds too. Especially in time for ROBstock II...as I sit here munching on a bag of 'salt n pepper' ruffle potato chips. Whadda ya gonna do?
Oh hell Rob...just more of us to love. Right?
Right.
(yeah...you better say RIGHT)
@Nikola6 & Sarah Bear Redbearski: If you can put up with the annoying English accent I make a mean lemon madeira to go with the grilled cheese...
Lemonless, I don't want to scare you...
But, an english accent tends to churn something other than annoyance in me. Blatantly put, I might try to open mouth kiss you.
I wouldn't do it because I'm a freak or anything...its just that....oh that damn accent. Damn it all to hell.
Anyhow...looking forward to a slumber party on Niks couch with some lemon madiera and make out time.
(If you're lucky, we'll be able to convince The Pretty to snog us, and then you'll be safe, Lemonless.
(Cuz he's Rob F*ING Pattinson.)
I think I just made a pass at Lemonless. *Ducking head*
Woops! Do you see what you've done, Rob?? You've reduced a wife and mother of four to sleeping on a strangers couch while eating grilled cheese sandwiches and kissing some poor british woman who only offered me Lemon Madeira!!
Curse you, Rob F*ING Pattinson.
@Sarah bear Redbearski: LMFNBAO! Well, that took me by surprise. I'm sure that you're lovely, dear, but I'll keep my mouth shut. :-|
Crappy day at work! I come back and look at this picture again and again. My worries and frustrations are forgotten. Thanks Rob, I needed that! Now I just need to watch one of his movies and my crappy day will be forgotten totally.
Okay. This is the last time I'm doing this...
Heads up...
For those of you who wrote me e-mails (and there were about 20 of you) asking for my opinion of Summit's involvement with R&K's relationship (and I brought it up, it's not like suddenly 20 people asked my opinion on something), I responded.
Over on the 'Entertainment Weekly Eclipse photo' thread. And I'm only doing this because that thread is starting to get buried and people asked and I can't write out 20 e-mails. I would go insane. Well. More insaner than I already am. But please, if you're not interested, then just ignore it. Please, no fighting. Please.
And jmm4832 and/or WhyRobert...
I wasn't finished answering your questions, but I kinda cut you off. I didn't mean that. Please, I finished writing to you. Go back and read if you want to.
Okay. That is all. I now return you to your regular programming.
Nik - you didn't cut me off and thanks again for explaining everything on the other thread. I appreciate it.
Nik thanks one more time for your willingness to answer and your detailed explanations.
And sorry I confused you by changing my nickname right in the middle of discussion))
