"Mena," starring Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Jayma Mays, Sarah Wright and Connor Trinneer, will film north of Atlanta this summer and needs a bunch of extras.

The plot, per imdb: "A pilot lands work for the CIA and as a drug runner in the deep south during the 1980s."

The movie will film in and around the greater Ball Ground metropolitan area from May through July. It's set in the U.S. and South America circa 1970s-80s so retro-looking extras are needed.
