Published July 7, 2008

For many fans who are closely watching every aspect in the development of the Hobbit movie there is one ultimate question. That question isn’t who is going to play Bilbo, but rather, how can they become an extra? In a recent interview, Hobbit director Guillermo del Toro gave some hints about just that.

“We will set some rules and some contests and some fans will definitely get the chance of being extras. Go and apply for those roles!” Guillermo del Toro told MTV News. He went on to joke about some other tips for making it into the cast, “Sleep with a lot of people if you can! That’s a very good piece of advice. But don’t bribe anyone. It will be wasted money”

Check out this portion of the interview.
