Extras are needed for the Tim McGraw and Gwyneth Paltrow movie Love Don’t Let Me Down which is currently shooting in Nashville, TN. In the film, Paltrow plays a struggling country singer managed by McGraw.
Producers need 2,000 to 2,500 extras (who will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis and must be at least 18 years old) for a climactic concert scene that is being shot Feb. 2 at Municipal Auditorium, located at 417 Fourth Ave. N. A free shuttle will take extras from Lot R at LP Field to Municipal Auditorium, where doors open at 4 p.m. Extras should be able to stay until 11 p.m.
McGraw is unlikely to sing, but he’ll greet the crowd, and The Lost Trailers will play at 4:30 p.m. Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund, who also star in the movie, will perform to pre-recorded tracks.
Soles4Souls, a Nashville-based charity that donates new and gently worn shoes to adults and children in need, will also be collecting shoes to distribute in Haiti.

My friend is an extra on this movie its AWEMAZING for her!
This was the climactic scene, however, the majority of the crowd footage from the 2nd will be dubbed over with footage that was filmed on the 3rd with paid extras. Being an extra is boring work, and the chances of showing up in the finished product are slim to none. The only benefit to the role of extra is if you get paid the standard $58/8 daily rate…free $$$, and they might feed you at least once during the time you’re there on set.
i’ve been a paid extra for 2 years now and “yes” it’s boring.”yes” i got paid.”yes they fed me.”yes” some of my scenes were cut while others were not.
And “YES” it was the most fun the best learning experience, and
least “work” that i have done EVER!
It’s not about getting paid or even making it past the cutting room floor. It’s about being part of a project with hundreds sometimes thousands of people.
You wont get rich being an extra but you will meet some of the most brilliant, talented, fascinating people on the planet, and some of those people are in a position to find you other work that does pay very well.
It *is* about getting paid to me. No, it is not much money, but the amount is not the point. The point is that it is a job and thus deserves respect and pay.
I had a blast filming with you guys!!! Thanks!
Awesome, Garrett is Amazing.
I would like to be an extra in the film. Please email me your address, time, and phone number. I was an extra in the first film. Thank you very much. GAyle Demonbreun
I was non paid, and paid extra it was lots of fun. I enjoyed how we
were in the audience as part of the film. We were moved all
over.It was funny because one guy came back from the concession stand as they were filming a part. He just kept getting up as they called
walking to his seat. VERY FUNNY!
i was an extra in this movie along with two of my daughters. it was an exsperience for sure! they really treated everyone well and fed us great. i will not ever complain about ticket prices after seeing what all is done for filming. i thought i met the man of my dreams during the shootin but love did let me down.
cant wait to see the movie.
