'Grown Ups 2' Casting Call this Weekend

The new star-packed Adam Sandler movie "Grown Ups 2" won't be coming to Peabody to film until later this summer, but if you want to try to land a paid gig as an extra in the comedy, there's an open casting call this weekend.

Get your non-professional 4x6 color picture all ready, brush up on your acting skills, and head down to Boston Saturday or Sunday.

The Los Angeles-based company casting the movie, Sande Alessi Casting, is looking for "thousands of different types of people: all ages, kids and adults of any ethnicity, all shapes and sizes," according to their recently-distributed flier.

The casting company has found extras for movies including such blockbusters as "Pirates of the Caribbean," "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," "The Social Network," "Jack and Jill," "That's My Boy," "Glee" and "CSI."

When is the casting call?

• Saturday, May 12, arrive at any time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Sunday, May 13, arrive at any time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Where is it?

• Carson Place at The Boston Teachers' Union Hall, 180 Mt. Vernon St., Dorchester (near the Bayside Expo Center).

What will you need?

• Hopefuls should bring a pen and a current 4x6 color snapshot of themselves. The photograph must NOT be professional and it must look like you. Do not bring head shots. No experience needed.

The majority of the movie will be filmed in Marblehead this summer with additional scenes shot in Peabody, Salem, Swampscott and possibly Tewksbury.
