Shrieks emanated from inside the mansion. A large group of wealthy party people dashed out the front door. The director yelled, “Cut!”

The actors playing attendees at a charity auction waited to do the same scene all over again. And again. The shoot would last from 6 p.m. until an expected 6 a.m. back in September of 2011.

The scene was to be part of the crime/thriller “Parker,” starring Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Nick Nolte and Michael Chiklis.

It was filmed at the Ringling Museum of Art’s Ca’ d’Zan Mansion in Sarasota.

Oscar-winning director Taylor Hackford spent a couple days working in Sarasota on scenes for “Parker,” the film based on novelist Donald Westlake’s namesake criminal protagonist.

About 300 people were cast as extras at a pay rate of $105 per day for the three consecutive days.
