Extras Wanted for New Muhammad Ali filming in New York
Filming started Monday in New York City.
The feature film focuses on the controversial years after Cassius Clay who changed his name to Muhammad Ali, was drafted and refused to report to the Army due to his newly adopted Islamic beliefs.
The case, which made an outcast of Ali for several years, made it all the way to the Supreme Court. The actor playing the role of the legendary boxer has yet to be named and the producers are planning on using abundant archival footage, but many of the other major players have been cast.
This year's supporting actor Oscar winner, Christopher Plummer, is on board as Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan II, Frank Langella is Chief Justice Warren Burger and Danny Glover was just cast as Justice Thurgood Marshall. Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson and Christopher Guest movie mainstay Ed Begley Jr. will be Justice Potter Stewart and Justice Harry Blackmun, respectively.
Scene periods are set sometime between 1969 and in 1971, and they're looking for men, women and children to play "bus station travelers and neighborhood types."
