The first trailer for the upcoming football movie called Woodlawn has now been released online. Jon Voight stars as Bear Bryant with former Alabama player Caleb Castille portraying Tony Nathan, a Woodlawn High School star who went on to play running back at Alabama and in the NFL.
Woodlawn was filmed in and around Birmingham, Alabama and is set to be released on October 16th. According to “Woodlawn’s” press notes, the film “explores how the struggling, racially torn team was brought together in the spirit of love and unity, leading to the record-shattering Banks vs. Woodlawn football game at Legion Field in November 1974.”
This trailer looks awesome and it should make for a fantastic movie.
