'The Exorcist' Casting Extras for TV Show Filming in Chicago

Chicago, IL - Calling all horror movie buffs, reboot fanatics and people who just look good riding the train: Fox Television is set to film a pilot episode of “The Exorcist” in Chicago, and the crew is looking to cast extras.

Filming is set to take place from March 8-31 in Chicago, and the casting alert on backstage.com comes with the oh-so-enticing promise of “some pay.”

The show will be based on the 1971 novel by William Blatty about a priest who exorcises demonic spirits. Variety reports the one-hour pilot will be a modern reinvention inspired by the book.

The show needs extras to play fallen priests, altar boys, parishioners, teenagers, a mother, a breastfeeding mother, a kid, a homeless guy and CTA train riders with “interesting looks.” More info on applying for these rolls is available on backpage.com.

A 4 Star Casting post on Facebook also calls for a church mom and a church child.
