Who was called for Transformers 2 Extras in Philadelphia or Princeton NJ?

Did anyone that went to the casting call in Philly on 5/31 get a callback? What was the code on your paper? I got a PE, got in the doors into line 1, but I haven't heard anything. I know someone that submitted online that got in. I am hoping to get a call soon since I know others have. I heard a few different things that PE can stand for. Philly Extra, Princeton Extra, Possible Extra or Principle Extra. I read somewhere that OT can stand for One Time. Not sure if any are accurate. And I heard just because you get a call back and a fitting, doesn't mean that you are in. :( Again, hear say so not sure if that is the case. Good Luck everyone!

1. TRANSFORMERS 2 in Philadelphia!

   We are looking for SAG background talent for the new Dreamworks feature film, "Transformers 2", directed by Michael Bay.

   Needed are SAG background men and women, ages 18-65, all ethnicities, for scenes to shoot in the Philadelphia, PA and Princeton, NJ areas. Shooting will take place in June 2008.

   We especially need college-age talent for this project.

   If interested and available, please e-mail a picture/resume to Tr2philadelphia@gmail.com

   If your headshot is older than one year, do NOT send it. Instead, send a recent snapshot - that has you alone in the picture – a close-up is preferred (no party pictures holding a beer…)

   Your picture must be attached as a ".jpeg” file.

   Be sure to include all contact information, height and weight and SAG number in the body of the e-mail. Put "SAG" in the subject line.

   We will be announcing an open call for NON-UNION talent soon- stay tuned!



2. They have been filming already in Allentown and on Kelly Drive. My daughter went for the casting, got a PE as well and has heard nothing yet, either...sigh.

   She so wanted to see lil Shia LaBeouf in person.

4. I was at the Philadelphia auditions with my friend and his father. They received an "OT" designation on their resumes and I received the "PE" NONE of us have been called.


5. I also got a PE. I just got a call today.


6. Hey, I went to the casting call and received something on my paper but wasnt sent in a line. I noticed there were alot of dark haired people in the bar line. I sent my email into princeton and philly. Philly emaild me back and wanted a snapshot from the waste up for a specific scene- not sure what that scene was haha. But by the time I sent the picture it was late. But princeton also emailed me back yesterday and asked for my phone number so hopefully I get a call within the next 48 hrs. Does anyone know when they are shooting in princeton and what could the extras be doing, since they are specific for a certain type. What does PE and OT stand for?


7. went to the casting call at wachovia center, got a call back a few days ago and did the whole fitting thing. hg on my board. good luck!


8. filming in Princeton started today (the crew seemed to have moved on to campus by Sunday night though) and will be going through Wednesday.

   I saw the Paramount catering trailers on campus last night... my friend went and hung out where they were shooting this evening and got Michael bay's autograph.
