Since the announcement, Rose Locke Casting has announced another open casting call for background extras, stand-ins and other featured roles in Passengers which is filming in Atlanta, Georgia. Rose Locke Casting posted the following in the description of her new production.

Have you ever dreamed of going into space?
Ever wanted to go to Space Camp?
Want to sleep for 600 years, wakeup and look ageless on another planet?
Well then do I have the role for you!!!

Passengers is written by Jon Spaihts. The script was the first movie he wrote which helped him write the first draft of what would become Prometheus. 

In Hollywood, the working script was so popular that Keanu Reeves, Reese Witherspoon and even Rachel McAdams are optioned to star in the movie adaptation. however, their efforts ultimately failed. The movie is about a man, played by Chris Pratt, who is among thousands of passengers on a colony ship on an interstellar journey. Awakened early from a cryogenic sleep by a system malfunction, he finally makes the decision to wake another sleeping passenger, to be played by Jennifer Lawrence, to avoid spending decades alone on the ship.
