“The Red Zone” which has also been called “The Untitled Nikki Tuscano Project” is looking for some football players in Wilmington and is holding an open call at Legion Stadium next week.
The project would like to see people who can actually play football and are between the ages of 18 and 28. Mark Ellis(The Dark Knight Rises) will be conducting the try outs.
The scene they are casting for will be filming in Wilmington in mid March and there will also be some rehearsal dates.
The show is written by Nikki Tuscano and will star Aimee Garcia, Shanley Caswell and Sepideh Moafi.
Athletes applying should have all day availability to film as well as be able to attend a rehearsal. Also, they only want to see athletes that are not trying to get NCAA eligibility.
Those chosen to participate will be paid for their time.
This coming MONDAY the 10th
Legion Stadium
2131 Carolina Beach Rd. in Wilmington, NC 28401
WHAT TO BRING:
Wear athletic clothes and cleats. We will be on field turf. You do not need pads or any football equipment, other than gloves, if you wear them.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
This will be a tryout to judge your athletic ability and football skill level. When you arrive, you will fill out some paperwork- a player profile and waiver release. We’ll take a current picture and give you a running number. We will give you time to warm up. Then we will put you through some combine-like drills. If you make the first cut, we may ask you stick around for a bit and we’ll bring the footballs out.
