The hype is very much real for Robert Pattinson’s Batman after director Matt Reeves shared a photograph of his costume last week and there’s no news coming from the camp that you yourself could get involved playing an extra.

I don’t have an actual copy of the casting call so I’m not sure how you could get involved – you probably have to sign up to an extras agency and be on their books already – but here’s what Cosmic Book News had to say about it:

A casting call searching for extras has gone out where it’s said a Halloween Party sequence will be filmed in Liverpool and that people are needed to play “passerbys and party goers.”
Worth a mention is that it has been said Reeves is in part adapting “The Long Halloween” comic book story which kicked off with a party and the first murder during Halloween.
The same casting call also mentions a funeral scene, as previously released details mentioned a “huge disaster” also taking place involving a funeral at a Cathedral.
Details for the “huge disaster” mentioned people with real-life medical training were needed for “various medical staff in the aftermath of a huge disaster!”
According to supposed insiders who happened to release an image of Robert Pattinson’s chair on set (working title for the film is “Vengeance”), the funeral scene is the funeral for Gotham’s Mayor and that the Riddler interrupts this by smashing a car through the gates.
Details for the “huge disaster” mentioned people with real-life medical training were needed for “various medical staff in the aftermath of a huge disaster!”
An additional scene Matt Reeves is apparently filming also involves Bruce Wayne getting mugged.
Well that was an enthusiastic write up wasn’t it? Guess they’re a bit more excited about this stuff over at Cosmic Book News than they are here at Sick Chirpse.
Anyway, like I said I’m not really sure how you can get involved as an extra, but I guess if you’re a big Batman fan and in the area then you can probably figure it out yourself somehow. Too good an opportunity to miss really isn’t it?
