EVER wondered what it would be like to be part of a hit film like Guardians of the Galaxy or The Theory of Everything?

Well now is your chance because Universal Extras, the film and TV extras agency based at the iconic Pinewood Film Studios, is hosting an open casting this Saturday.

A spokesman for Universal Extras said: "It's an opportunity for residents to get involved in a number of film and television productions being filmed in the area in the coming months."

The casting takes place at Liverpool John Moores University and is free but if you manage to bag a role it is paid work.

You must also be over the age of 16 and a half and have the right to work in the UK.

People interested in attending should register their details on Universal Extras' website and then drop in any time between 10am and 4pm.

Photos will be taken on the day so that attendees can be cast in suitable roles.

Universal Extras have supplied extras for blockbusters like Les Misérables, The Theory of Everything, Guardians of the Galaxy and Muppets: Most Wanted.
