Star Trek producers seek extras for new film

Star Trek producers who are making another film in the series, which will directed by Lost creator JJ Abrams, are looking for people with "unique" features to have parts in the movie as extras.

The film production team will be holding open casting sessions in California and want people with unique looks and features including "long necks, small heads, bug eyes, large foreheads and oversized ears".

Apparently people who want to be extras will have to agree to have their eyebrows shaved to create a distinctive Vulcan eyebrow shape like Mr Spock has.

The Star Trek producers’ invitation to would-be extras reads: "This is an epic project and we are looking for the most intriguing and interesting faces to integrate in this film."

"Everyone must be thin, athletic, fit; wardrobe will be form-fitting. All hair lengths on males and females welcome," the casting invitation added.

The new Star Trek film, which is set to be released in December 2008, will be about the early experiences and adventures of Captain James Kirk and his world famous team of interplanetary explorers.
