MIDDLESEX COUNTY, NJ — Do you want to appear in the new Steven Spielberg movie that is currently filming in New Jersey?

The movie is about aliens and UFOs, going under the code name "Non-View," and it stars Emily Blunt and Wyatt Russell.

It's currently filming in North and South Jersey, and they will shoot one specific scene somewhere in Middlesex County (they did not reveal the exact location) on March 27. Producers are looking for extras, especially if you have a car that can be used in the scene, NJ.com reports. Any type of car is fine; make and model does not matter and it does not have to be a period car.

Attach current, non-professional photos of themselves and one of their car.

The movie was scheduled to film in Cape May all this week, March 10 - March 14, according to this casting call from Grant Wilfley Casting, which is handling the casting for the movie. The movie filmed in Montville Feb. 25, NJ.com reported, and Woodbine. It's also filmed in Tuckahoe and in the Pine Barrens, Fox Philadelphia reported.

They were also seeking Cape May locals to appear as extras in those scenes shot this week:

"Grant Wilfley Casting is seeking Cape May County locals to work as extras (aka background) in the feature film NON-VIEW, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Emily Blunt," read the casting call. "Casting locals (all ethnicities) to play the following: train passengers, drivers with cars. Tentative scheduled to film Monday 3/10/25 - Friday 3/14/25 in Cape May County, NJ."

Why are so many movies being filmed in New Jersey?

One of the most lasting legacies of Gov. Phil Murphy's time in office (his term ends in January) are his efforts to make New Jersey a U.S. movie/TV production headquarters. The reason so many movies are filming in New Jersey ("Happy Gilmore 2," the new Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan bio-pics, just to name a few) is because Murphy revived the state's Film and Digital Media Tax Credit.

The credit means any movie filmed or produced in New Jersey gets a 35-percent reduction in their state taxes. Murphy said having movies/TV shows film in New Jersey not only brings in jobs in the entertainment business, but also supports small businesses — local restaurants in the Pine Barrens and North Jersey say they've been flooded with customers from the Spielberg movie in the past month.

And that's why Murphy is giving Netflix a $387 million tax break to make Fort Monmouth in Eatontown their U.S. production headquarters. And it's not just Netflix: The Murphy administration said it would give any other film studio a 40-percent base tax credit on all production expenses if they open up offices in New Jersey, and stay here for at least 10 years.

That's why many NJ colleges are launching degree programs in film production. Other colleges across New Jersey say they plan to start similar programs, preparing students for jobs in the film industry.
