The producers of the upcoming Star Trek movie have announced that they will hold open auditions to cast "odd-looking" people as extras in the film.
Bosses of the picture have stated that they would like people with "unique" features such as "long necks, small heads, bug eyes, large foreheads and over-sized ears".
Hopefuls will also have to agree to have their eyebrows shaved to portray a "Vulcan-type" shape at the casting in California on Saturday.
The advert for the audition said: "This is an epic project and we are looking for the most intriguing and interesting faces to integrate in this film."
The film is due to be released next December and will be directed by Lost creator JJ Abrams.
