Playing for the other team?

Austin's on set and possibily switching sides!

Day 1 of my new movie. Me and my brother. SAN PATRICIOS - AUS10


So now we know that Austin is up to  and  have an idea what the movie is about:

The St. Patrick's Battalion - known in Spanish as el Batallón de los San Patricios - was a Mexican army unit comprised primarily of Irish Catholics who had defected from the invading US army during the Mexican-American War. The St. Patrick's Battalion was an elite artillery unit which inflicted great damage on the Americans during the battles of Buena Vista and Churubusco. The unit was led by Irish defector John Riley. After the Battle of Churubusco, most members of the battalion were killed or captured: most of those taken prisoner were hanged and the majority of the others were branded and whipped. After the war, the unit lasted for a short time before being disbanded.

It looks like Austin might be playing half a pair of Texas brothers who switch sides and fight for Mexico against the Texans.   Careful Austin you might have to give up your Big Ass (Texas) Star for that.

And if Austin playing for the other team isn't enough of a spin, how about  he's a dad.

And wearing some big ol' boots. 

Austy sounds like you're a perfect pair there.

There's a couple more pictures from the set out there on Tumbler but I don't know where she got them so I'm not going to post them. Plus I'm on my IPad and yeah, being lazy, lol. But this tumbler fan site says that Beau Bridges and Kris Kristofferson are in the film as well.

That Patrick fellow is pretty darn attractive and I could see the 2 guys playing brothers.

Pretty neat stuff - kind of out of the blue. Ironic the timing of Austin's filming, right during Jake's break.

Austin must be beside himself working with Kris Kristofferson.

It looks like this movie is not about the actual Mexican American war, but must have something to do with it, or something about a family who did.
