Audition for junior artistes draws thousands in Maui

MUMBAI: Thousands of people turned out in Maui, Hawaii, for the auditions of junior artistes in the Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston movie Just Go With It.

Said Maui Film Commissioner Benita Brazier, “more than 3,000 people showed up Saturday at the Kihei Charter School to apply to be extras in the film.” 

It may be noted that officials attached to the production wanted hundreds of people to act as resort patrons, sitting around a pool, enjoying a luau and eating in restaurants.

Most of the selected junior artistes would be paid $100 for 10 hours of work, but those cast in special roles such as hula dancers and bikini girls will get more.

The movie is scheduled to go on the floors next month for four to six weeks in Wailea.
