Be An Extra in The Fighter

Want to be an Extra in David O Russell’s The Fighter? Want to see Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale fight it out in a boxing ring? Do you live near Lowell Massachusetts? Details after the jump.

The Fighter is shooting three days of boxing scenes in Lowell MA on July 14th, 15th and 16th. Paramount Pictures is looking for unpaid extras to fill the stands for these scenes. You may or may not appear on camera in the final film. They will be providing free parking, and raffle prizes for CDs, DVDs, Gift Cards and more. It is no clear which scenes they will be shooting, but the casting company claims that it will be “one of the main scenes in the film,” and it will feature both “Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale.” Head on over to BeInAMovie.com to rsvp for one of the shooting days.

The Fighter tells the story of Dicky Eklund (Bale), a real life boxer-turned-trainer who rebounded after a run of drugs and crime. Shepherded his half-brother “Irish” Micky Ward (Wahlberg), Dicky had a Rocky-like rise to the world lightweight championship. Ward fought throughout the mid-’80s and ’90s, but he’s best remembered for three battles with Arturo Gotti, two of which went down as the greatest in the history of the sport. Amy Adams recently signed on to play “a tough, gritty bartender and former college high-jumper” who ends up dating Wahlberg’s character.

    I've met David O. Russell a couple times. He never screamed at me.
  • I would highly recommend that you stay still while in Bale's eyeline.

    Is this a legit website, this beinamovie.com? Just asking because the website layout is crap. If so then I reserved 4 spots, be awesome if I can actually do this.

    Annnnd RSVP'd. Wahlberg has the accent down, since he's from here, but I hope i don't laugh when I hear Bale's attempt.
  • at least they got someone who will give it a shot, if it was wahlberg goin to bale's neck of the woods, do you think hed try to get the accent down?
  • TheMarquis
    I appreciate the try, but I just hope it doesn't elicit awkward laughter, as the Boston accent is so easily parodied.
  • Cara

    Love him so much~
    He is sexiest man on entire world!

    The casting company "Be In A Movie" lied about raffles of cds, dvds, gift cards, etc. The experience was "fun," but the "entertainer" guy who did the "raffles" (2 good ones- signed boxing gloves.... the rest crap like beer snuggies and baseball hats.) The so-called entertainer, who claimed to be an Aussie, but was SO NOT, was worse than an untrained substitute teacher who has no clue what to do with their students. It was the only part of the day that was unbearable- dealing with him.
