A casting call out has been released to find extras to take part in Ellen Page's new horror film The Third Wave, which is currently filming in Dublin.

Production company Tilted Pictures are looking for extras to play infected zombies for a crowd scene in the film. Casting takes place on Wednesday, November 30, in Croke Park between 7.30am and 3.00pm.

The call out urges those interested to take public transport to Croke Park as there will be no parking available and to wear warm clothes, including jackets, hats and scarves, with no visible logos.

Writer/director David Freyne is making his feature directorial debut with the film which is set in a time after an aggressive virus that transformed humans into zombies has been cured. 

However, many of the people who were once infected have been shunned by society, creating mass social unrest.
