JOPLIN, Mo. —
An open casting call for extras to appear in a new feature film, “The Story of Bonnie and Clyde,” will take place from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Joplin Holiday Inn.
The film, which is scheduled to begin pre-production in late April, will be shot partly in Joplin and area towns, as well as cities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Filmmaker Tonya S. Holly, with Cypress Moon Productions, over the weekend was in Joplin scouting for locations to film and to pick up background information on the Depression-era outlaws that was put together by the Joplin Museum Complex.
“We look forward for production to begin on ‘The Story of Bonnie and Clyde,’ and we are excited to look for talent from Joplin and its surrounding areas to appear in the film,” said Holly, who wrote the original screenplay and will direct and produce the movie.
Men, women, and children 10 and older are being sought as extras for the film. Interested parties must take a photo, contact information and/or resume to the casting call. People who are not available for the casting call may mail their information to Cypress Moon Studios, 1000 Alabama Ave., Sheffield, AL 35660.
