Although the open casting call is for people 18 years of age and older, minors can submit via email for consideration. Shooting will take place entirely in Miami, FL beginning January 14, 2013.
The show is based on a short story from Elmore Leonard’s anthology "When the Women Come Out To Dance," the book that also features the short story "Fire In The Hole" that FX’s series "Justified" is based on. The project centers on Miami businessman Billy Whitley who, contemplating a run for political office, tries to increase his chances of being elected by marrying a Colombian woman named Lourdes Nieves who is on the run from a her troubled past. What starts as a marriage of convenience quickly escalates into much more as his new wife proves to be more resourceful at "fixing" any problem the corrupt, South Miami political scene throws at her husband.
Starring in "Untitled Falacci/Heuton Pilot" is actor and musician Bryan Greenberg as Billy Whitley; Mexican model and actress Stephanie Sigman plays the role of Lourdes Nieves; professional ballet dancer and actress Amanda Schull portrays Melody, an extremely beautiful daughter of a wealthy former U.S. senator who also used to date Billy, and is now married to the fast-rising Miami district attorney Mario Morales; Cotter Smith will play Senator Paul Pruit, Melody's father; MTV Movie Awards nominee Stephen Root plays political power broker and campaign manager Avery Boomer; Manolo Cardona plays University of Miami Professor Andres Vargas.
Film, television, commercial and music video director Kevin Bray will direct from an adapted teleplay written by Nicolas Falacci and Cheryl Heuton, based on an Elmore Leonard short from his anthology "When The Women Come Out To Dance". Bray has directed such TV series as "Cold Case," "The Vampire Diaries," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," "Burn Notice," and "Suits". The husband and wife creative team of Nicolas Falacci and Heuton Heuton created the television series "Numb3rs," and served as executive producers and head writers. Executive producing is Heuton and Falacci, along with Hypnotic's Doug Liman, David Bartis, Gene Klein, and Lindsay Sloane.
