Extras are being sought for the filming of the movie "Selma."

The Alabama Film Office says the production company for the movie about Martin Luther King Jr. is seeking 500 extras for filming in Alabama. The extras must be between 17 and 70 years old and must be able to work 12 to 14 hours in vintage wardrobe.

The casting director will see candidates from 3-8 p.m. Monday at the John Abernathy Auditorium at Alabama State University in Montgomery and from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Performing Arts Theater in Selma.

The commission says people wanting to be extras must bring a valid photo ID and a recent photo.
