This sounds great! Hell of a cast too!
They just announced recently that this is coming to Atlanta, so I'm actually trying to get on this shoot right now as we speak.....keeping my fingers crossed.
Hell, if I cant get on the crew.....I'll just get on as an extra, cause I would kill to see this director and cast in action.
Looking forward to it!
