First co-starring with the “vaguely-related to Chicago” man himself, Mike Ditka – and now filming his next movie here.

If you missed out on the super cool call for extras (and by “super cool” I mean “super waste of time and a cheap way to sell your soul”), you can still keep your eyes peeled for sightings of the incredibly funny one around Chicago while shooting “Stranger than Fiction“, which began filming in Chicago today. If you’re lucky, he might have one of his totally rocking co-stars in tow – maybe a little Maggie Gyllenhaal? Dustin Hoffman? You know you want it.
