A major new film about the extraordinary life of 1940s New York operatic singer Florence Foster Jenkins, due to be filmed this summer, requires extras of all ages and is inviting local people to an open casting at Hammersmith's St Paul's Church next Saturday, April 11.

The film, from Stephen Frears, the acclaimed director of hits including The Queen and High Fidelity and the production team behind Philomena and the current release Suite Francaise, stars Meryl Streep as Florence and Hugh Grant as her manager and partner St Clair Bayfield.

The film's listing on the International Movie Database describes it as " the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York heiress, who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice."
