"This is a great opportunity for people to see what it's like to be on the set of a real movie," Cash Brian, the creator of BeinaMovie.com, said.
"You could also win phenomenal prizes, from the cop car being used in the movie, to a walk-on part in the movie. We also give out lots of autographed posters and footballs," he said.
Also included for extras are free parking, free food and a copy of the "How to be a Paid Extra" booklet.
Clubs on campus will also benefit from having their members as extras for an all-day crowd scene.
"As long as there are 30 or more members in the club willing to participate for the whole day of shooting, they will receive fundraising from BeinaMovie.com," Brian said.
Further information may be obtained by visiting BeinaMovie.com or by calling the office at (323) 653-4105 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
According to information given by Paramount Pictures/Columbia Pictures, "The Longest Yard" is an updated version of the 1974 comedy starring Burt Reynolds.
The film is being directed by Peter Segal, whose credits also include "50 First Dates," "Anger Management" and "Tommy Boy."
"The Longest Yard" centers around former NFL pro Paul Crewe (Sandler) who is sent to prison for shaving points.
While locked up, Crewe uses his time to transform a group of diverse inmates into a football team.
Unlikely teammates, the convicts unite together when they find out who they are playing against: the guards.
