Bostonians may be confused if they spot the VSI signs popping up around town. Those in the know will recognize the signs as the same ones used to mark Surrogates filming locations last year. Apparently, they are reusing the signs for the new Amy Smart TV pilot, See Cate Run. Surrogates is a SciFi thriller starring Bruce Willis that will be released in September.

USA Today interviewed Jill Scott about her time in Africa filming No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency.

jenThe new Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman comedy, The Baster, is about an unmarried 40-year-old woman who turns to a turkey baster in order to become pregnant and finds out seven years later that her best friend replaced the sperm sample with his own.

The movie is currently in pre-production in NYC and they are looking for extras. A recent ad surfaced on Craig’s List for three very specific types of background actors. They are looking for:
-A heavy set women who is able to ride a bike and comfortable in provocative wardrobe who is comfortable having profanities shouted at her
- A woman with a round face, small eyes, and upturned nose who is comfortable having profanities shouted out at her in a comedic scene
- A rail thin teen boy with bad skin, bad acne

If you fit the bill and think you are up to it, you can send a current snap shot photo, NOT A HEADSHOT, along with your sizes and the best number to reach you at to: baster@gwcnyc.com.
