The extras casting director for the upcoming Warner Bros. Pictures "Dolphin Tale" is holding an open casting call for extras to appear in the film. No Experience Necessary. No Appointment Necessary. All types and ethnicities. This is for Florida residents only. Shooting will take place from September 27, 2010 through December 10, 2010 in the Clearwater, Florida area.
Winter the Dolphin, who gained national fame because of her prosthetic tail, will be the star of the movie. While most of the film will be shot at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a robotic dolphin double will be used to shoot scenes Winter can't do herself. 'Dolphin Tale' is a fictional story but it has a lot of fact in it about Winter's real life.
Two 80,000-foot stranding pools are being constructed for the film on the Clearwater Marine Aquarium property and, when filming is over, the Aquarium gets to keep these pools and use them to rehab dolphins in the future.
