Odessa, Texas. The new Hollywood.
With nothing more than word of mouth and signs in front of two cafes for advertising, a crowd of around 200 people showed up Wednesday to apply for parts in The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, a film to be directed by Tommy Lee Jones in Odessa, Van Horn and other places in West Texas.
The movie, set to begin filming on September 21 in Odessa, is supposed to be about a ranch hand who tries to keep a promise to a deceased friend to bury the friend in Mexico.
Apparently, many of the applicants also worked on Friday Night Lights.
