ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Extras are being sought for The Hallmark Channel's upcoming Christmas movie filming at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville.

"A Biltmore Christmas" is set to start filming at the historic property in early January with the movie premiering later in the year.

Extras are being sought for a shoot that will last two weeks in January. Shoots will last 12 to 14 hours each day, according to The Casting Office's website

No experience is needed.

People can apply by going to The Casting Office's website and submitting an application with two current unedited photos.

According to IMDB, "A Biltmore Christmas" will follow Lucy (played by One Tree Hill's Bethany Joy Lenz) who is hired to write the script for a remake of a holiday movie. During a tour of the grounds, Lucy knocks an hourglass over and finds herself transported back in time to 1946.

"A Biltmore Christmas" will also star Kristoffer Polaha.

Lenz and Polaha have each starred in a variety of Hallmark Christmas movies through the years, though not with each other. They last appeared in the same project in 2010, when Lenz guest starred on Polaha's show "Life Unexpected."
