<p>Do you look like you just <a href="http://sfist.com/2015/01/02/back_to_the_future_day_finally_actu.php">stepped out of a DeLorean time machine</a> from the 1980s? Do you sport big, teased or feathered hair? Do you have availability for 12 to 14 hours at a time? <br>
Then wipe that cocaine off your face and sign up to be an extra in Universal's Steve Jobs biopic.</p>

<p>No, this isn't another Ashton Kutcher hack job. The soon to be shooting in the Bay Area motion picture is the version with the rights to Walter Isaacson's acclaimed Jobs biography. You know the one: it's <a href="http://sfist.com/2014/10/03/relax_apple_super-fans_leonardo_dic.php">the vehicle that previously had Christian Bale attached</a>, with Leo DiCaprio rumors before that. The script adaptation is penned by Aaron Sorkin, with Danny Boyle directing. Jobs is to be played by leading man Michael Fassbender, with Wookiee-man Steve Wozniak to be interpreted by funnyman Seth Rogen.</p>

<p>And now, <a href="http://www.beaubonneaucasting.com/index_actor.htm">Beau Bonneau's Bay Area casting call</a> for extras is out: <br>
</p><blockquote>Production’s strongest need is for Men 18-40s with flexible schedules and comb-able length hair and/or men willing to grow their hair, facial hair, sideburns to match 80s-90s time periods. Women should have natural hair colors, no chunky highlights or ultra modern styles. Overall for men and women, curls, waves and volume are a plus. Production will provide haircuts as needed.</blockquote>

<p>Keep in mind this is the '80s, so be ready for some back-in-time tobacco use, says Beau Bonneau: "Shoot location TBD, SF or East Bay. Smoking will be permitted indoors/outdoors as a sign of the times on this day; must be willing to work around smoke. If willing to smoke, please note in submission, tobacco-free alternatives will be provided."</p>

<p>And if you haven't sold your car since the (first) Jobs era, now's the chance to flaunt that fact: "Owners of 1983 or older vehicles in good condition (no show cars)" are wanted.</p>

<p>Universal picked up the rights to the film when the embattled Sony let it go last month. In fact, you can <a href="http://mashable.com/2014/12/11/steve-jobs-sony-email-hack/">see exactly how that happened</a> thanks to the Sony hacks and reporters who went through a lot of emails.</p>

<p>So, until someone picks up my script for <em>The Lost Boys</em> remake I'm constantly casting in my head, this is as close as we're going to get to recapturing that '80s magic.</p>

<p>See you (and those sideburns) in Cupertino. </p>

[<strong>Ed. Note:</strong> Your SFist Editors will be LIVE-BLOGGING the <em>Trauma </em>premiere this coming Monday evening, because yes, we are that dorky.] Yes, that's right, you too could get bloodied up in some crazy, action-packed, group scene like <a href="http://sfist.com/2009/08/28/trauma_shoot_duboce_park.php">the one they shot at Duboce Park</a>, or the one they shot at the Embarcadero market. Particularly swell for the unemployed who always wondered who had time to go be a random extra on a TV show, we recommend this job to anyone who doesn't mind waking up early and standing around a lot.

The trailers, the megawatt celebrity sightings, the lights, the cameras, the not being invited to cast/crew parties -- SFist will miss it all. As most of you know, Gus Van Sant's biopic  -- the story of assassinated San Francisco Supervisor and gay rights advocate, <a href="http://sfist.com/tags/harveymilk">Harvey Milk</a> -- started shooting in January. This past Sunday, the production came to an end. Alas.</p>

<p>For those of you who weren't able to make it to <i>Milk</i>'s final shooting, <a href="http://www.bluegrassravebackroom.com/MILK/">Bluegrass Rave Backroom</a> was at Sunday's <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/03/06/more_milk_extra_1.php">Gay Freedom Day 1978</a> reenactment to catch <i>Milk</i>'s final moments at City Hall. Above we have Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, showing off his well-sculpted arms, a cute shirt, and hit acclaimed method-acting prowess. To see some locals getting into the '70s groove, as well as some choice Muni and KRON 4 '70s signage, follow the jump. </p><i>Milk</i>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[More <i>Milk</i> Extras Needed]]></title><description><![CDATA[We just got word that <a href="http://sfist.com/2007/11/19/gus_van_sant_ha.php">Gustaf Van Sant</a> needs more extras this Sunday for .

You will help him out this coming Sunday, won't you? Good.</p>
