James Franco’s ‘In Dubious Battle’ Wraps Production in Atlanta

Date:

James Franco’s ‘In Dubious Battle’ finishes filming in Atalnta, Georgia.

Tammy Smith Casting took to Facebook today and announced that it is a wrap on James Franco’s new feature film, ‘In Dubious Battle’. The extras casting director has been working hard searching for background extras to work on the feature film and it looks like all of her hard work has paid off. The casting director writes: “It was no doubt, a tough shoot, with a lot to do, in a short period of time, on muddy, dusty, physically challenging sets with far away locations. You all were such troopers about it and I know there were rough patches with food and crafty, and then the weather added a fun challenge just to make it extra muddy and a hot mess out there at times.”

“THAT’S A WRAP” on “In Dubious Battle.”
I really want to express how much we appreciate every single one of you that worked on this project, especially the farm workers (all of you really, but there were people who worked most or many of the 17 day shoot as core and regulars).
It was no doubt, a tough shoot, with a lot to do, in a short period of time, on muddy, dusty, physically challenging sets with far away locations. You all were such troopers about it and I know there were rough patches with food and crafty, and then the weather added a fun challenge just to make it extra muddy and a hot mess out there at times.
I know Mr. Franco and all of the other stellar actors involved with this “passion project” were a plus to be around, and so many of you had opportunities to really engage and act in the scenes and bring the story to life, as the story was ABOUT the farm workers on the apple orchards. I received nothing but compliments all around, about all of you… from the ADs, the producers, the director…EVERYone commented on how great you all were. I want to thank you, as does Claire, from the bottom of our hearts for being there for us on this one and embracing the project for what it was. Your professionalism and great attitudes really spoke volumes.

Thank you and you should all be very proud.

‘In Dubious Battle’ featured Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), Selena Gomez, and Ed Harris and Danny McBride (Eastbound and Down) and centered around a labour conflict between migrant apple pickers and the local growers’ association in which Jim Nolan (Franco) becomes involved in the labour movement and rapidly matures as he learns what it means to do organisational fieldwork.

In Dubious Battle Movie

We posted several casting calls for ‘In Dubious Battle’ throughout March and April. It will be sad to see the amazing cast and crew say goodbye to Atlanta but, that only means there will be even more productions coming soon.
