The movie “Olde Boys,” a comedic take on soccer, has revealed its main crew. This production is penned, helmed, and produced by Nick Wilkinson, with Lisa G. Black also joining as producer. Meanwhile, Screenbound takes charge of global distribution.
The film begins principal photography this September in the U.K. and U.S.
The movie narrates the tale of Mike Giordano, a local attorney who doubles up as a weekend soccer player. His over-50s team is struggling, but when he manages to secure their participation in the World Masters tournament in England with the assistance of his energetic teenage daughter and coach Frankie, things start looking up for them.
The movie features Tuc Watkins (known from “Desperate Housewives” and “Uncoupled”) as Mike Giordano, who assumes the role of the team’s leader and charming trickster. Guy Nardulli plays Nico Tavakoli, a trickster with a penchant for pranks and a taste for high-risk ventures. Jay Huguley (from “12 Years a Slave”) portrays Rob Mason, a tough team captain who conceals his profound insecurities under a gruff exterior.
Ray Fearon, known for roles in “Beauty and the Beast” and “Harry Potter,” portrays Travis Richards – a charismatic, top-tier athlete whose skills rival his inner struggles.
Cailey Fleming, known for her roles in “The Walking Dead” and “IF,” is being considered to portray the movie’s central character, Frankie Giordano, who combines youthful spirit with tactical brilliance. Shanley Caswell, famous from “The Conjuring,” is also being considered, while August Diehl, recognized for his work in “Inglourious Basterds,” has secured a significant role in the film.
The project is being marketed as an intelligent, heartwarming choice that appeals to a wide audience around the world, drawing inspiration from beloved series such as “Ted Lasso,” “The Full Monty,” and “Fisherman’s Friends.
‘The Olde Boys’ is a tale close to my heart – it explores themes of friendship, transformation, and the charm of the sport,” shared Wilkinson. “This movie embodies the ageless spirit of remaining youthful in spirit, despite any physical indications that may suggest otherwise.
On May 19, Wilkinson’s first film, titled “Death on the Brandywine,” will be shown in the Cannes market. This movie is a blend of political intrigue, murder mystery, and satire. The main cast includes Kate Burton, Tuc Watkins, Guy Nardulli, and Satomi Hofmann. Right now, it’s being sold in the market. Wilkinson wrote, directed, and produced this film jointly with Black.
Black, recognized by works like “The BirdCatcher,” “Miles,” “HEVN” and “Almost Paris,” has a wealth of experience for this venture. Additionally, she serves as co-chair in the Producers Guild of America’s capital region.
“Olde Boys” is set to premiere in 2026 to coincide with the FIFA World Cup.
