Filming begins on Tuesday for scenes to be shot inside the stadium for the new movie "Woodlawn," which revolves around former Alabama Crimson Tide and Miami Dolphins football star Tony Nathan.

Gilmore-Vines Stadium will represent Woodlawn High School's stadium in the movie, and will be used for scenes depicting Woodlawn's home football games.

Extras are needed Tuesday through Saturday night, from 4:30 in the afternoon until filming is complete (which could go until midnight or later). According to Hueytown mayor Delor Baumann, extras are most needed on Thursday evening--when filmmakers would like 1,000 people in the stadium's stands.

"You will be fans in the audience waving on your team. Pretty simple stuff in this scene. All ages are welcome. Bring coats and gloves in case it gets chilly. If you want to make home made signs for the football teams that is encouraged."

We should all go.  Hold up signs predicting the future:

"Bama Will win NC in '78 & '79 - ALL Bets Taken"

I hope they have some real game tape in the movie. I played for Huffman and was the same age as Tony Nathan and Jeff Rutledge. Steve Whitman was my teammate. We all graduated in Spring 1975 (74 football season).

Our biggest rivals were Banks and Woodland. All three of us played our home games at Lawson Field. When we played each other the games were at Legion Field because the crowds were so big.

Banks won the State Championship in 4A (4A was the biggest division back then). They beat Woodland in the regular season and again in the finals. They were two fine football teams.

It also lists ideas for costuming, which should represent what people wore in 1973 and 1974. Such items include turtlenecks, blue jeans, high-waisted pants for women, white t-shirts, caps without logos, plaid shirts, khaki or maroon pants, white-washed pants, solid colored button-up and t-shirts and heavy overcoats.

???  Do those pants make you stupid?  :dunno:

Yes; also known as 'moron pants'.

Here are some suggested clothes:

Absolutely. That movie with Busey was just awful. I thought Tom Berenger in "The Junction Boys" was better than Busey.

Yeah, Berenger was a whole lot better than Busey. I hope JV does him justice.
