Hollywood, CA (HNN) – At least two of the filmmakers behind “We Are Marshall” have gotten together with several high profile teen stars for a multiple-platform (i.e. digital, cable, internet, etc.) series, “Aim High.”
Staring Jackson Rathbone (Jasper in “The Twilight Saga) who plays a teen government operative, the series is produced by McG (“We Are Marshall,” “Charlie’s Angels,” “Terminator Salvation”) and Mary Viola, who brought the MU plane crash story to the attention of Warner Bros. executives, will be one of “Aim High’s” executive producers. Aimee Teegarden (“Friday Night Lights”) stars as Rathbone’s love interest.
We're thrilled to have Jackson and Aimee on board," said producer McG in a prepared WB release. "They're incredibly talented, collaborative individuals with undeniable screen presence."
"Aim High" also stars Rebecca Mader ("Lost") as Nick's sultry science teacher Ms. Walker, Johnny Pemberton ("Megadrive") as the well-connected best friend Marcus, Clancy Brown ("Highlander") as Russian mercenary Boris the Bear, Jonathan McDaniel ("That's So Raven") as Amanda's jealous boyfriend and swim team captain Derek Long, and Greg Germann ("Ally McBeal") as the protective Vice Principal Ockenhocker.
"Aim High" is the story of a young man leading a double life - juggling his studies by day and serving as a government agent by night. This series chronicles the life of Nick Green, a junior who's just starting a new school year as one of the country's 64 highly trained teenage operatives.
Thor Freudenthal (“Hotel for Dogs,”/”Diary of a Wimpy Kid”) will direct.
"Aim High" is being financed and distributed by Warner Bros. Digital Distribution and entertainment industry veteran Dolphin Entertainment who executive produced hit shows "Zoey 101," "Tower Prep" and "Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide." The two companies will work with cable, satellite, broadband and mobile clients for placement and promotional support.
