New Casting Call on James Franco’s “In Dubious Battle” Filming in GA

Casting babies and extras wanted in Bostwick, GA area for “In Dubious Battle“, directed by and starring James Franco.

The movie is scheduled to film this month and continue production in areas of GA to April 12. The project is looking for men ages 18 to 70 to play farm workers and deputies in the 1930’s. “In Dubious Battle”   features a star studded cast which includes James Franco, with Robert Duvall, Ed Harris, Josh Hutcherson, Bryan Cranston, Vincent D’onofrio, Sam Shepard and reportedly, Selena Gomez. Those selected to fill the roles will be working in Duluth, GA later this week.

In Dubious Battle is a 1936 novel by John Steinbeck. The central figure of the story is an activist for “the Party” (thought to be the communist party, though it is never specifically named in the novel) who is organizing a major strike by fruit pickers and looking to get more people involved in his cause. The book focuses on a fight between labor and capital in 1930?s California, a fictional area of California.  “In Dubious Battle”  explores themes that Steinbeck explored in future work as well,  group behavior, social injustice, man’s inhumanity to man. Franco will play Jim Nolan, a man who gets involved in the movement and its organization.
