A NEW movie starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck is to begin filming in Ireland later this year – and they need you.
The Last Duel will tell the story of a pair of friends living in 14th century France who end up engaged in the last legally sanctioned duel in the country’s history.
Ridley Scott is set to direct with Star Wars actor Adam Driver and Killing Eve star Jodie Comer rounding off an impressive cast.
Affleck and Damon have written the script with Nicole Holofcener, based on the book of the same name by Eric Jager.
Filming is set to take place around Dublin, Wicklow, Meath and Tipperary with producers on the hunt for Irish extras to appear in the film.
An advert placed on Open Casting is calling for huge crowds of Irish based Film Extras to attend and apply to be in the film next Friday, February 21 in Dublin City Centre.
"We will be looking to directly employ lots of film extras for huge crowd scenes in the coming months,” the producers said.
“We are holding an Extras Open Casting day next week in Dublin City Centre and, we are trying to put out as much information as possible to attract interested people to apply to take part as an extra.
“It is paid work and the open casting will be open to adults," they added.
To apply, people should come along anytime between 10am and 6pm on Friday, February 21 at Dublin's Liberty Hall.
They are looking for men and women of all shapes and sizes.
