In his long and storied career, Hollywood legend and two time Oscar Winner Denzel Washington has never made a sequel to any of his movies, until now. For the upcoming Equalizer 2, Director Antoine Fuqua insisted on having Denzel return for the part of Robert McCall; but not before taking in a few auditions from some up and coming actors that just also happen to be NBA stars. We had the chance to to film this great commercial project for a series of TV spots to air specifically for the NBA Finals. This was a challenging shoot with multiple cameras, custom built sets, actors, extras, and even multiple cities. To accommodate the players schedules, the audition room had to be recreated in New York, San Antonio, and Los Angeles. WNBA star Skylar Diggins, Dwight Howard, Manu Ginóbili, and Lonzo Ball all came out to vie for the role, with some hilarious results. This project had us all working long days and long nights, but it was definitely a fun ride.
