Nightmare on Elm Street Seeks Chicago Extras

New Line Cinema is bringing Freddy back, and he's looking for you. No, it's not a dream. A casting call for extras in the Chicagoland area is taking place now to help recreate the 1984 Wes Craven film, and if the glove fits (bwa ha ha), you might end up behind the lens of director Samuel Bayer, who has worked on music videos for David Bowie, the Cranberries and the Smashing Pumpkins.

According to Bloody-Disgusting.com, Joan Philo Casting is seeking teens who can take off three nights (June 1-3) for a paid "high school party" scene shot at a house in a TBA Chicago suburb for the new Freddy Krueger film. They're looking for teenagers ages 16-19 of all ethnicities, and the agency emphasizes that they want "real teens" with "real friends." All that's required to apply are recent color photographs (close-up and full-length), your physical stats, any "special skills" and your high school and extracurricular activities. Real-life couples are being sought out as well. 


The ultra-confident can also e-mail swimsuit photographs to be considered for the pool party scene, which promises to be "fun," however that translates to a horror movie about a child molester/killer. Meanwhile, the ultra-ultra-confident who also happen to be 18-27 years old and female can apply for the topless pool party scene. Find out more at Bloody Disgusting.
