"Alright, alright, alright."

San Antonio actors might get the chance to flex their dramatic muscle in a possible sequel to the 1993 cult hit movie "Dazed and Confused."

A casting call published by Project Casting is looking for extras in an untitled project by film director Richard Linklater — who wrote and directed "Dazed and Confused," "Slacker," "Bernie" and "Boyhood."

Linklater recently left Warner Bros' "The Incredible Mr. Limpet" to focus on "That's What I'm Talking About," a rumored sequel to "Dazed and Confused" set in the 1980s, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "The project, which is based on Linklater's life, follows freshmen as they navigate through the first year of college life, while trying to make the baseball team."

Casters are looking for a variety of "specific types" including baseball players, frat guys, sorority girls, punk rockers, country western types, experienced pool players, college professors and people who like Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia among others.

People with pre-1981 vehicles are also wanted.

Filming for the new movie will take place from Oct. 13 to Nov. 29. Locations include Austin, San Antonio, San marcos, Taylor, Elgin and Bastrop.

"Dazed and Confused" helped launch the careers of actors Ben Affleck, Milla Jovovich, Parker Posey, Renée Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey — along with his ubiquitous catchphrase, "alright, alright, alright."

Entertainment Weekly magazine ranked the film 80th on its list of the best 100 movies of all time. It also ranked the film 10th on its list of the 25 funniest movies of the past 25 years in 2008.
