Want to Be in a Movie With Kevin Costner? Apply to Be an Extra in 'Horizon' Chapter 3
Have you ever imagined working alongside Kevin Costner in a movie? Many people have that dream. (How can you not?) Well, that dream can become a reality—and in the near future, too.
While actually starring in a film alongside Hollywood's favorite cowboy may require a bit more work, you can actually apply to for a very small part in his upcoming film. That's right, Costner's ongoing Western movie franchise, Horizon: An American Saga, is seeking extras to briefly join the cast on set in Durango, Colorado for chapter 3 on May 15, 2024.
Now, if you're a Colorado native, or someone who simply loves traveling to the area often, then this is pretty good news for you. Though, before you immediately try to dive into this opportunity, there are a few things you should know.
For starters, the saga takes place during both the pre- and post-Civil War era, and it focuses on a family living the "Old West" lifestyle. With that said, The Durango Herald reports that extras would be wearing not-so-comfortable clothing, like "corsets, heavy dresses, old-timey lace-up boots and extensive hairstyling" for women and "itchy wool jackets, multiple layers, heavy boots" for men.
Now that you can picture what a day-in-the-life of acting alongside Costner might be like (and given that you're still interested), here are the logistics of this casting call.
According to a press release, Casting Coordinator Maryellen Aviano says that there are opportunities for about "60 to 70 extras," with most of those spots going to adults, as well as a few slots for children.
There are a few requirements and specifics that they are looking for—and no, you don't need to be an Academy Award winner or a cowboy for that matter!
Here's what they're looking for: Men and women of all ethnicities as well as minors 13-years or older. (Families are welcome!) But note that extras should be available on May 15 from mid-morning into the night. There will also be a wardrobe fitting required. Restrictions include no visible tattoos, gauged earrings, facial piercings, modern hairstyles, or bleached hair.
Ready to apply? Head to The Durango Herald for specific information on how to sign up and how you'll get paid. The relevant information is listed toward the end of the release.
