Extras Needed for Local Movie Shoot

According to the Pittsburgh Film Office, Nancy Mosser Casting has been hired to cast local speaking parts and extras for the feature film "Perks of Being a Wallflower."

The feature film will be directed by the author of the novel and Upper St. Clair native, Stephen Chbosky, and will begin shooting in Pittsburgh in May.

Actors and those wishing to be extras should create a free profile at www.mossercasting.com. 

Those already on file with Mosser Casting should make sure that their profile has two recent photos posted and that their contact information is updated. 

For information, send an email to mossercasting@gmail.com.  

The romance drama will star actress Emma Watson, best known from the "Harry Potter" series, and actor Logan Lerman, best known for playing the title character in the "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief."

Filmmakers met with an Upper St. Clair assistant principal last week to discuss possibly using the school to film — no word on a decision just yet.
