Legendary director Steven Spielberg’s next movie, code-named “Non-View”, is set to film some scenes in and around Cape May on March 10th through the 14th. The production is looking for area locals to appear as background extras, so if you have dreamed of appearing in a big budget Hollywood blockbuster, now’s your chance!
[EDIT 1/18/25: There are now reports that the movie will film in Woodbine.]
They need people to play automobile drivers and train station passengers aged 18 and up. No previous acting experience is necessary and it will pay $216 per 8-hour day, with an increase of $37.50 for bringing your own car. Interested parties should email Grant Wifley Casting at nj@gwcnyc.com with the subject line “Non-View Cape May Locals” and include the following: name, preferred pronouns, phone number, SAG-AFTRA membership status, which dates you are available that week, whether you have visible tattoos, and if you are a Cape May County local. You should also include a pair of current, non-professional photos of yourself (one close-up and one full-body). If you are able to bring a vehicle include a photo of it as well as the make, model, year, and color.
Spielberg has directed nearly 60 films and won 3 Academy Awards and is best known for blockbuster hits like Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, and Raiders of the Lost Ark, as well as more serious fare like Schindler’s List, Lincoln, and The Post. This movie will see his focus once again return to UFOs and is set to star Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Josh O’Connor, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo, though it is not known if any of these actors will appear in the scenes being filmed in our area. It is written by David Koepp (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible, Panic Room) and is set to hit theaters in 2026.
Cape May was most recently used as a stand-in for Newport, Rhode Island for several scenes in James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which is in the running for several Academy Award nominations. Prior to that, the town served as the backdrop for the 1981 slasher film The Prowler, most notable for its special effects work by renowned horror make-up artist Tom Savini, who has cited his efforts on the movie as some of his all-time greatest.
