Almost by fate or Shyamalan-like storytelling come true--casting call for some of you East Texans...

Great opportunity for some of TFF's finest to be represented and immortalized in film. Just saying...

I swear to the fishing gods that before I made an M. Night reference in the "Guides" thread yesterday, his name had not crossed my mind in 20 years since seeing 6th Sense and Signs. This article showed up in my news feed this morning--M. Night casting call, in East Texas, for a movie shot, on and about a Texas lake. Talk about weird.

I do not work for M. Night Shyamalan.

My guess is they want to cast a bunch of ETX folks to make them look like hillbillies in one of his movies. I can promise you it won't be a flattering role

Your smart phone and the internet are listening to you all the time dude. Algorithms.

I suspect you're right, unfortunately. Let's encourage some of them Louisiana boys...

Also true. The coincidence is still interesting. The iPhone didn't write the article or make the casting call...
