Although all of this seems to be very plausible, not everything is what it seems to be, so take these rumors with a grain of salt! Please note that there have been reports of scams like this where casting companies will try to get your credit card number for "processing fees" or the like. If you are asked for your credit card number before they have even looked at your head shot, be very wary as it may very well be a scam!

Reminds me of when Is aw them filming the dark knight downtown. I saw the Gotham PD squad car just parked out front of an office building. I wish I had a camera on me as I'd taken a picture with it I could.
