Nancy Mosser Casting next week will hold an open call for paid extras for "One for the Money," the Katherine Heigl movie being shot in Pittsburgh this summer.

The open call will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Kingsley Community Center, 6435 Frankstown Ave., East Liberty (ZIP is 15206, if you're searching for Internet directions). If unable to attend, you can create a free online profile at www.mossercasting.com, and if you are already on file with Nancy Mosser Casting, there is no need to attend the open call.

The Pittsburgh agency is looking for people 18 and older to work as paid extras, stand-ins and photo doubles and in silent bits. Hopefuls should bring a recent photo, if possible.

The movie is based on the Janet Evanovich novel that introduced Stephanie Plum, a laid-off lingerie buyer who blackmails her bail bondsman cousin to give her a job with his office. The former "Grey's Anatomy" star plays Plum, and the cast also includes Jason O'Mara.

In other news about movies being shot here, Taylor Lautner told MTV News that "Abduction" is "a very real action thriller. It has a great story and a great cast."

"Abduction" is about a teen who learns a shocking secret about the people who raised him and how they're not his parents, for starters. The John Singleton movie also stars Lily Collins, Alfred Molina, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Isaacs and Maria Bello.

MTV News also reports that the "Twilight" star said he is committed to filming "Abduction," "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" and "Stretch Armstrong" in that order.

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," starring Mr. Lautner as a teen werewolf, grossed more than $30 million at more than 4,000 theaters with its midnight launch, Box Office Mojo reports. That number will balloon during the long holiday weekend as moviegoers see the sequel for the first time or make repeat trips to the theater.
