Star Wars extras casting company targets Oxford

The company responsible for recruiting extras for the film Star Wars: The Last Jedi is heading to Oxford on the hunt for people to join its books for feature film and television work.

The Oxford Mail reports that Pinewood Studios-based casting firm Company UniversalEXTRAS is seeking people over the age of the 16-and-a-half with the right to work in the UK for "exciting" projects being filmed in the Oxford area in the coming months.

The open casting, which is free to attend for the paid roles, will take place between 10am and 4pm this Saturday, 23 June, at New Road Baptist Church, Bonn Square, Oxford OX1 1LQ.

Good luck – and may the force be with you.
