Weeks after James Franco’s new movie ‘In Dubious Battle’ finished filming in Atlanta, Georgia background extras are finally paid, thanks to extras casting director, Tammy Smith.
This comes after several background actors complained of not getting paid for their work on the upcoming production. Tammy Smith Casting pointed out that “that it is not that unusual for smaller budget films to take longer to pay out.” She continued by saying, “Many of you are used to being paid faster on the larger budget films and I understand that it’s unnerving to be waiting for payment.”
