Most of the movie "Friday Night Lights" is going to be shot in Austin, but there are going to be some scenes shot in Odessa.
They had the casting call in Odessa yesterday - scroll down or click "Friday Night Lights", the movie - Local Casting Call for local newspaper links and the most recent update in this weblog about the movie.
There are probably going to be some good show-biz stories coming out of the filming of the movie - there usually are. The news about the local casting call reminded me of the movie "Terms of Endearment" which was filmed in Houston while I lived there. A friend of mine, a nurse, was hired to attend to some babies who were in the movie. She said of her job, "I diapered the stars!"
I'm telling this because I know there will be stories coming out of the making of "Friday Night Lights", and if anyone reading this happens to be selected for a role or as an extra or is in anyway involved with it then know that there are people interested in your story. So, please leave a comment or send an email to let us know what's going on. We're dying to know!
