Three Revs, including Corey Thurman (pictured above), expect to be filmed this week for a movie directed by James Brooks. The picture stars Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson and -- perhaps -- Jack Nicholson. The sports scenes are being coordinated by Mark Ellis, a former college football player who has coordinated the sports scenes for numerous movies -- including "Jerry Maguire."
Starting pitchers Daryl Harang, Bob Zimmermann and Thurman were scheduled to attend a rehearsal and fitting Monday. Shooting is tentatively scheduled for Friday and Saturday. About 10 Revolution players and manager Chris Hoiles attended a casting call at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., when the team traveled to play the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs June 1. Hoiles and catcher Josh Johnson also earned call backs but could not attend the two-day shoot.
The experience is detailed in an article from the York Daily Record/Sunday News.
