The Warner Bros. feature film, “Doctor Sleep,” stars Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson. According to a casting call, Monday’s scene takes place during the daytime in a beach side community in 1980.

“We are casting a mix of people to be walking or sitting nearby our lead characters during a conversation,” the flyer from Atlanta-based Tammy Smith Casting said.
