Naked Extras Need Clothes

It's good to hear that filmmakers aren't resorting to CGI for everything these days. Empire Online has a great story for you today about the wardrobe manager for the upcoming Kirsten Dunst film Wimbledon, who, it seems, has his work cut out finding clothes for a blow-up audience. An Empire Online reader, who works at the Oxfam store in Hackney, North London, contacted us with news that his store was contacted last week by Wimbledon's wardrobe manager, who phoned up from New York with a rather strange request. Seems the filmmakers need around 7,000 items of clothes for the blow-up audience they've recruited for the centre court scenes. Now we're presuming that these aren't the kind of latex ladies you'd find down the nearest Ann Summers store, which would put a whole new topspin on this tennis movie. So if you'd like to see your kegs on the big screen, get down sharpish to the Oxfam on Kingsland Road in Dalston.
