An estimated 1,100 persons eager to be extras in the currently shooting Vince Vaughan movie, “Cheating Hearts,” turned out for Atmosphere Casting’s call last Saturday — most in full Blackhawks’ regalia and then some.
Since the upcoming scenes take place at a Blackhawks’ game at the United Center, “a lot of interesting characters turned out,” says Atmosphere owner John Kinnas.
The majority took instructions to wear Blackhawks gear to heart, but a few went beyond jerseys and caps They came dressed as authentic Indian chiefs, Blackhawks, no doubt, wearing full feather head dresses to moccasins. Many others added hockey sticks and brooms to confirm their status as fans.
“They were very colorful people,” Kinnas says of the people who answered the call. “The client was pleased with the selection we got.”
