Attention film fans and amateur actors! No less than 5,000 extras from Bavaria are being sought for the latest Hollywood production “The Rage”. This reports the Frankfurter Rundschau. The director is none other than Paul Greengrass, known for his exciting works such as “Captain Phillips” and the “Jason Bourne” series.
“The Rage” takes viewers to 14th century England, where a peasant revolt against King Richard II is discussed. Andrew Garfield and Thomasin McKenzie shine in the leading roles. Matthew McConaughey was initially also discussed, but has since withdrawn. The film is a German-British co-production between Supernix GmbH from Munich and the Electric Shadow Company from London.
Filming in Bavaria
Filming is scheduled for the period from September to November 2025, exclusively in Bavaria. The filming locations include picturesque backdrops such as Penzing near Munich, Nuremberg, the impressive Lichtenau Fortress in the Ansbach district, and Bad Windsheim in Middle Franconia. The backdrop of plague-plagued England is presented in a very authentic way. So anyone who is interested in a role as a farmer, monk, rebel, market woman, soldier, beggar or court folk should take action quickly.
Another exciting aspect: Extras are usually only needed for individual days of filming and can look forward to a daily salary of around 130.00 euros.
