As we’ve reported, Clint Eastwood’s upcoming movie, Trouble With The Curve, will begin filming in and around Atlanta, Georgia soon. The movie will star Eastwood as an aging sports scout who tries to mend fences with his estranged daughter while on a baseball recruiting trip. Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake are set to co-star.

According to WMAZ, Trouble With The Curve will be filming at Luther Williams Field in Macon, GA early next month.

The film’s sport coordinator Aimee McDaniel said they plan to film at Luther Williams Field on Thursday, March 8 and they will be holding tryouts at the ballpark this Saturday for ballplayers to appear in the movie.

They are currently looking for people to play minor league baseball players and will hold tryouts at Luther Williams this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. They need about 20 ballplayers, ages 18 to 30 years old, including four pitchers, two catchers and 14 position players. They’re also looking for people who can play coaches and umpires. Auditions will include basic baseball drills and  those who are auditioning should wear athletic gear.

  1. I’m a local actor-writer with several screen credits and i speak true southern and yet i can’t get a shot at any speaking roles (they bring in N.y. & L.a. actors with their phoney accents). I live near both North Georgia locations where De niro and Travolta filmed Killing Season and now I hear Eastowood will be near me in Dawsonville??? The Film in Georgia rebates really increased activity in the state for everyone but local actors.

  2. I was told Rey need girls from 18-30 years of age I’m 20 and can dance and act wanting to find out where and when auditions are?

  3. They filming a scene for The Eastwood movie at what was Hank & Jerry’s Tavern at 1504 Old Salem Road in Conyers. They re-named the place The Boots

  4. FYI: “Trouble With The Curve” is on site today in the little college town of Young Harris, GA this afternoon 4/17/12.

  5. They spent almost two weeks filming in Jasper, GA. They even built new dugouts for the kids baseball field. They took over the parking lot at the Chattahoochee Technical College. It is really neat seeing our little town on the trailers for the movie. I can’t wait to go see it.

  6. I understand Jonathan Schooler, President of Global Restoration’s company built the Dugout for the Movie, trouble with the Curve. There was a big article in local paper when Clint Eastwood was there.
