Hey Batter Batter Batter....Cut!

Speaking of the the-ah-ta and act-tors, if you ever wanted to be in a movie, here's your big chance.

A casting call has been made to area residents for a scene in the feature film “ War Eagle. �

Hundreds of extras are needed at the Fayetteville High School baseball field at 1001 Stone St. on Saturday night. Those wishing to be extras need to be at the baseball field no later than 7: 30 p. m. and should plan on being there for several hours while the scene is being filmed.

They're also filming on some property over around Eureka Springs owned by the parents of a friend of mine. Was my first question "Can you get me a bit part?" or "Can I meet the stars?"

Hardly.

More like "Did they insist on cash up front?"

Some years back, my wee wifey took some of the Girl Scouts and 4H kids to Wrigley Field to extra for the crowd scenes for a baseball movie. It was hard work, as they moved them around the stadium so as to get the effect of a full audience. It was, nonetheless, a cool experience for the younglings.

According to today's news, there were more than enough people there for the scene. It wouldn't be hard to fill up the high school stadium though.
