Italian filmmaker Gabriele Muccino is set to direct the Indy comedy film "Playing the Field," starring Gerard Butler, Uma Thurman, Jessica Biel, and newcomer Noah Lomax. Numerous roles for soccer kids and soccer moms will be cast in Shreveport, Louisiana where filming will take place. The starring roles are being cast out of Los Angeles.

Gabriele Muccino has had success directing American films in the past with the Will Smith starring vehicles "Seven Pounds," and "The Pursuit of Happyness," as well as "The Last Kiss" which was a remake of his 2001 Italian film version of the same name.

"Playing the Field was originally written as a baseball story titled "Confessions of a Little League Coach," but producers decided to have Robbie Fox rewrite the script as a soccer themed film to give it a much more international appeal, thus selling more box office tickets and higher DVD sales. Besides, the hot-to-trot soccer mom sub-plot works much better than a little-league baseball moms plot would have!

Details in how actors can submit to be considered to roles in the film, and extras registration information can be found on the following casting post:

That is true. Little league baseball tends towards dads. Then again what's wrong with a gay dad going after the baseball coach? Gayness seem to be the in thing with movies and TV shows lately.
