The concert footage will be shot at an undisclosed Midtown Manhattan location on Thursday and Friday between 11:30 am and 7:30 pm.

Those wishing to participate must be between the ages of 16-35, and must pre-register by visiting .

Once registered, participants will receive all of the details about the location and the taping process. The event's organizers will also be raffling off a walk-on part in Notorious.

Be In A Movie has provided crowds for scenes in over 25 major motion pictures, including Akeelah and the Bee, The Bodyguard, Semi-Pro and their first production, The Doors.

Written by noted Hip-Hop journalist Cheo Hodari Coker and Reggie Rock Bythewood, Notorious follows the life of Christopher Wallace from his Brooklyn upbringing to his untimely death in March 1997.

The film is executive produced by Diddy and directed by George Tillman, Jr.
