Once I left Huntington, I realized this film has to be done, and it has to be done right away.

We looked forward to this day on our schedule the entire time. This movie will go on forever.

I always knew about Marshall University; I always knew about the crash. What I didn't know is what happened after the crash.

He really wants to shoot as much of the movie here as possible. Having the fans prove that they are the best will go a long way in determining the location of the crowd scenes.

Expect a lot of trucks, cable, roads closed and people walking around on cell phones. But I think there will be an energy (people in Huntington) will get a kick out of.

I knew we had something when I let people read the script. We had people who were sports fans and not sports fans. We had men. We had women. We had young. We had old. We had people of different races and of different sexual orientations and everyone cried. Not just one or two -- everyone. These are people who didn't know anything about Marshall, who didn't know anything about football. They were just so swept up in the story that they just cried.
