The new film “Fantasy Football” has redeemed natural talents by some of its stars.
Marsai Martin played a lot of channels of a girl-boss energy as Calli Coleman, a technology-loving girl, whose father’s long career in NFL lands her with the Atlanta Falcons team.
His production company is behind the family friendly film. (Martin, 18, set a Guinness World Record as the youngest Hollywood executive manufacturer to work on a major production in 2020.)
He and with the film’s director Anton Cropper, Rome Flyn (Anderson Fisher), Omri Hardwick (Bobby Coleman), recently spoke with CNN, when he appeared in a Falcons game held at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.
It was a familiar environment as the group shot a lot of scenes for their film.
The plot center around Callie’s father played by Hardwick appears at the end of her career when her daughter comes to know that she can control her move through playing Maden Football Video Games.
Martin sees the role in which her character also befriends the members of the Robotics Club Team in her new school, which is just fun with a positive message about diversity in technology.
“I have met a lot of girls who are in technology and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) or about the coding of all black girls,” she said. “It is important to brighten a light on this because it is a big thing. All this is about representation. ,
For Hardwick, the project gave him an opportunity to bow down to his football roots.
Before he became famous for his work in roles like James “Ghost” St. Patrick on “Power”, the native of Savana, Georgia played a defensively at Georgia University and later tried as an unpublished free agent with San Diego Chargers.
Hardwick said, “It seems incredible to come back here at home.” “This is clearly my hometown team … but I never got to play for Falcon. With this film, I got to do my work.”
Hardwick also stated that it was appropriate that he was participating in a game in which Atlanta Phalkans was playing the role of Chicago Beer, who plays Rome Flyn, who plays Bobby Kolman’s rival, hotshot young quartersback Anderson Fisher, growing up in Chicago.
Flynn told CNN that unlike his characters, he and Hardwick had no competition between them as prominent men.
“It’s all love,” he said smiling. “We respect each other and we bring the best in each other.”
“Fantasy Football” debuts on Paramount+on Friday.
