BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut residents are being sought to be extras in a movie about the Underground Railroad that will star Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr.
The film, with the working title "Something Whispered," is being filmed through November at locations around Bridgeport and at a church in Pomfret.

Casting calls are being held Tuesday at the Bridgeport Public Library and on Friday at the Bradley Playhouse in Putnam. There also was a casting call last week in Guilford.

The story revolves around a family's struggle in 1850 to escape slavery through the Underground Railroad.
Casting officials say they are looking for actors and musicians to appear in the movie.
