Confirming its IMDb listing, Kyle Gallner (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Allison Scagliotti and Tania Raymonde have been cast in Losers Takes All, a film, set in the world of mid-1980s American independent rock music, that follows a fictional punk/pop band as they stumble and stagger in what everyone thinks is the opposite direction of success — commercial or otherwise.

Written by Andrew Pope and Winn Coslick, the film began principal photography earlier this week in and around Memphis, Tennessee, with Alex Steyermark (Prey for Rock & Roll, One Last Thing) at the helm. Perhaps most intriguing and promising is that the criminally under-appreciated Marshall Crenshaw will pen songs for the movie, and work with the actors to put together a band whose sound recalls the emergent indie/punk sound of '80s college radio.
