More info on the current and previous movie projects.
No mention of an actor in the part of Enzo, but Ken Miles (Christian Bale) and Lee Iacocca (Jon Bernthal) are named.

If filming is starting this summer I wonder if anything will be done at LAX?

A lot of it will be filmed in Aqua Dulce and at Willow.

Probably at Ontario airport as LAX too busy and Ontario is the usual substitute.

KONT looks nothing like KLAX hangers.  I had seen some filming at KCNO a few times.  It'll be interesting to identify location in the movie.

Very true.  KONT terminal and runways are used frequently, but I have no idea what they will use for the exterior shots of the original hangers.  Probably the interior shots will be in a sound stage for all the Shelby shop locations.

Have heard there is a casting call for some filming in the Savannah Georgia area. Supposibly the film crew will be using the Hutchinson Island race track, no mention of any cars. You would think they would need quite a few cars to simulate a period "racing field" for shooting scenes.



Extras casting call
CDC Extras Casting is looking for extras ages 18 and older who either live in Savannah or have a place to stay within 90 minutes of the city.

Extras will be paid $75 for eight hours of work.

Because the movie is set in the 1960s, hair, makeup and clothing sizes are important, the casting call says.

To apply, email three photos — no selfies, no hats and no sunglasses, the casting call says — to CDCExtrasCasting@gmail.com. The photos should be a closeup of your face, a full-body shot and one from the waist up.

The casting call says you should be wearing "conservative attire, such as a suit, a button down shirt, polo. Ladies in a sundress or party attire. Think CLASSY. TIMELESS. Think you are going to a REALLY NICE PARTY in a park. Only YOU in the photo, no other people in the photo. (60s influenced hair, all the better!!)"

The subject line on the email should be these words exactly: UNTITLED PROJECT - CORE.

In the body of the email, list your name, phone number, city you currently live in, and all clothes sizes. For men, include height; weight; and coat, shirt, pants and shoes sizes. For women, include height, weight, dress size, measurements and shoe size.

There is no phone number listed with the casting call. For more information, visit the casting agency's Facebook page.

". . .crew built a mock up race track." Guess they might have meant pit.

Now I wonder if they'll have mock up GT MkIIs built on Corvette chassis.

PS: Does the director know 3 Fords crossed the finish line and not just one?

Bale needs big giant nose and chin prosthetics if he wants to look more like The Hawk.
