The Aaron Sorkin-written Steve Jobs biopic will start playing in theaters in just six months, and there’s a good chance you could actually be in the monumental film that tells the late Apple co-founder’s story. Universal Pictures, the studio ultimately backing the movie after a dance with Sony Pictures, has issued a casting call for extras to be filmed on set in a scene of upcoming movie this weekend…
We’ve already seen filming for the biopic take place around Jobs’ childhood home and Cupertino near Apple’s headquarters. The studio previously recruited students from De Anza College as extras during filming at the Flint Center where the Macintosh was first unveiled (and more recently the Apple Watch). Now Universal is shooting in San Francisco and says the upcoming scene for the casting call will take place in the heart of the city.
Filming takes place this Sunday, March 29th, from 7 am to 3 pm (easy work hours for Hollywood!) and includes free parking, food and drinks, and two passes to see the film’s premier later this year. If free parking and the chance to spot yourself on the big screen alongside Michael Fassbender and Seth Rogen as Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak isn’t exciting enough, participants will be entered to win four tickets to Universal Studios Hollywood, an iPad, and more.
You can sign up to be an extra in the Jobs biopic here. Steve Jobs, which is based on the Walter Isaacson biography recently called a “tremendous disservice” by Tim Cook in favor of the new ‘Becoming Steve Jobs’ book, is scheduled to debut in theaters on October 9, 2015.

I refuse to be in any Steve Jobs movie that doesn’t star Christian Bale!
I’m excited. Fassbender is an amazing actor and I can’t wait for his take on Jobs. I do hate how they always just cast a lumpier guy (Rogan, Gad) for Woz when he was actually quite strong when he was young.

Although, I forgot that this film will portray him when he was older and not when he was younger so…yeah, he was a bit bigger when he was older.
Keep in mind that this is a Steve Jobs biopic. So you can be in the movie as an extra, but no one will ever hire you to be a movie extra ever again. And if you have ever been a movie extra in the past, you are not going to be hired to be an extra in this movie.
