Casting call feels more like job fair

CANTON, OH While some of the men expressed interest in meeting the star, others who auditioned to be extras Wednesday in Canton said the promise of $100-a-day paychecks was a bigger lure.

Jeff Hattery came from Strasburg, 17 miles away in northeast Ohio. He said he was laid off and willing to sweep floors if the crew paid him.

Some of the filming of "Unstoppable" will be done at a rail yard in the region, so many applicants came dressed in overalls or engineer's caps. The movie is about a runaway train, and filmmakers were looking for 50 men to play extras.
