‘Bolden!’ the movie is currently seeking extras in Atlanta, Georgia.
Recounting the jazzy life story of legendary cornet player Buddy Bolden, the film began its initial production in early 2007. It is the passion project of Hyatt Hotels heir and writer/director Dan Pritzker, who has reportedly funneled millions into the film.
Anthony Mackie (“The Hurt Locker”) originally was featured in the title role but will be recast before filming restarts, according to Star News Online.
Pritzker will reshoot all the scenes with the main character now played by a new actor.
According to IMDB, Bolden! features Jackie Earle Haley, Omari Hardwick, and Michael Rooker
