Cast
Development
On August 4, 2014, Linklater ceased involvement with the Warner Bros. film The Incredible Mr. Limpet, stating that he wanted to concentrate on the university-set, 1980s baseball film under the working title of Thats What Im Talking About. The project is considered a spiritual sequel to Linklaters 1993 film, Dazed and Confused, which is set in a high school in the 1970s. Linklater also considers the film a sequel to Boyhood because "it begins right where Boyhood ends with a guy showing up at college and meeting his new roommates and a girl."
On September 12, 2014, Linklater offered Jenner, Hoechlin and Russell the lead roles of baseball players. On September 16, Guzman was added to the lead cast to also play a baseball player.
On September 29, 2014, Annapurna Pictures became involved as a financial producer of the film, while Paramount Pictures signed on to handle distribution rights. Megan Ellison is a producer of the film, along with Sean Daniel, Sandra Adair, John Sloss, and Ginger Sledge. More cast members were later announced, including Deutch, Will Brittain and Glen Powell.
Filming
Filming began on October 13, 2014 in Austin, Texas. On October 15, filming was taking place in Weimar, Texas, and lasted until December 2, 2014.
