Practice your cursing and probably playing dead -- Game of Thrones is reportedly casting extras in Dublin on April 8.

Well, not just Game of Thrones, but the company that handles its extras casting, The Extras Department, will host a casting call in its office for multiple projects, including Thrones.

Per the casting call, as reported by Irish Central, "This even is FREE to the public. There is no need to register and drop-ins are very much welcome."

The Extras Department's website proudly declares that it has cast extras on Game of Thrones since the very beginning (there's also a terrifying but apt image of Jon Snow trying not to get trampled by dozens of them).

The catch is, obviously, you need to be in Dublin this weekend. How much are plane tickets again?

Update, 12:30 p.m. ET: Despite online reports, The Extras Department has updated their Facebook page to note this unfortunately isn't true. "Our casting event this weekend is NOT for Game of Thrones."
