A casting cal for extras for a new Denzel Washington movie drew out hundreds of hopefuls. While some expressed interest in meeting the star, a majority were more attracted by the promise of $100-a-day in pay for those chosen.

Some of the filming of the movie, which is entitled "Unstoppable", will be done at a rail yard in the region. Many applicants came dressed in overalls or engineer's caps. The premise of the movie is a runaway train. Filmmakers were looking for about 50 extras.
