June 30, 2011: Paramedics and Firefighters as "Man of Steel" Extras

NBC Chicago reports that local firefighters and paramedics are being hired to be extras for the up-coming “Man of Steel” film.

The next “Superman” sequel, filming in the Chicago area this August and September, hosts its latest casting call from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday at the Fire Museum, 5218 S. Western Ave., in Chicago.

Casting directors are hiring firefighters and paramedics as paid extras for the “Metropolis Fire Department.”

Being that today is Thursday and the report itself doesn’t specify an actual date for the latest casting call, it’s not clear whether the final casting call for extras was held today or next Thursday.
