Paid extras sought for "Prison Break" reboot pilot filming in West Virginia
The reboot from 20th Television for Hulu stars Emily Browning of "One More Shot," Lukas Gage of "Euphoria" and Drake Rodger of "The Winchesters." It will be directed by Elgin James, whose work includes "The Outlaws" and "Mayans M.C."
Mosser Casting needs extras to portray prisoners, guards, body builders, townspeople, line dancers and more when the pilot films in the area of Moundsville, West Virginia, in June. All ages are needed, but especially men 18 years or older. No experience is necessary.
Details about the reboot are limited, but Variety reports it's not expected to feature the characters at the center of the original show. It will exist in the same universe, but focus on a new crew of inmates.
Starring Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, the original "Prison Break" was on the air for five seasons. "When his brother is wrongly convicted of murder, a structural engineer resolves to bust his sibling out of the notorious Fox River State Penitentiary," the description on Netflix reads.
Filming will take place between June 6 through June 30 in the areas of Moundsville and West Virginia, about an hour from Pittsburgh. There's no filming on Saturdays and Sundays. The pay is $210 for a 12-hour guarantee, and extras are told to expect 12- to 14-hour days. Extras also must have transportation to and from the set.

Caitlin Clark can dunk on LeBron James in NBA 2K26
Some sports moments can only happen in video games, like Indiana Fever superstar guard Caitlin Clark dunking on superstar Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James. While that's an improbable scenario in real life despite how amazing Clark is at basketball, NBA 2K26 allows for gamers to pit the two hoops legends against each other to the point where Clark can actually dunk on James. A viral clip from the upcoming NBA/WNBA video game shows Clark dunking on James and even taunting him after the fact. Again, this can only happen in a video game, but what a glorious example of why video games are so fun. Watch this as many times as you'd like! Whenever you play with the Fever against the Lakers, make sure to recreate this hysterical clip. When does NBA 2K26 come out? The game will be released on Friday, Sept. 5.

Baltimore celebrates 10 years of Motor House, a beloved creative hub
Baltimore Arts Realty Corporation (BARC) is celebrating 10 years of one of the city's most beloved creative hubs, Motor House. The two-day event spotlights emerging designers, local artists and creativity. This celebration comes almost two months after a car crashed through its building, causing the creative hub to close for a few days. Organizers told WJZ that overcoming the obstacle is what makes this anniversary event more special. "The Motor House has been able to really get our community to rally around," said Jessica Smith, managing director of Motor House. "What are the possibilities of what this space can be— and in 10 years, this is the time when you start to reimagine what else do we want to add." "So actually, sometimes an interesting situation can actually be something that helps bring everybody together," she added. "That was our number one priority, was not getting the doors back open, because we don't have a door anymore, but you know, making sure that we were open and ready for business for you," said Toni Martin, the program director for BARC. During the event, artists showcased their work through runway shows, hands-on workshops, artist-led lectures, and community programming, highlighting Baltimore's bold creative spirit. On Saturday, the celebration continued with an upcycling workshop led by sustainable fashion designers, wearable artists and makers who shared hands-on techniques and creative guidance. Featured creatives included Caprece Ann Jackson, a sustainable fashion curator and ambassador, and Evette Monique, a rising designer who has shown at Milan and London fashion weeks. Upcoming events to celebrate Motor House's 10-year anniversary include a VIP reception on October 9, a public celebration on October 10, and a culminating event on November 1, featuring a screening of the full short documentary in the Black Box Theatre at Motor House. The multidisciplinary arts hub in the heart of the Station North Arts and Entertainment District has been a cornerstone of Baltimore's creative community since BARC founded it in 2015.
