Written and directed by Linklater, the film (formerly titled That’s What I’m Talking About) follows a group of college baseball players in the 1980s as they adjust to the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adult life for the first time

In addition to Guzman, who was a baseball pitcher in college, the film also stars Will Brittain, Zoey Deutch, Tyler Hoechlin, Blake Jenner, Glen Powell and Wyatt Russell.

Paramount Pictures is set to release the film on April 15.

The SXSW opening-night festivities are set for March 11, with the festival running March 11-20.

Guzman, best known for portraying Sean Asa in the fourth and fifth installments of the Step Up franchise, most recently appeared in Jem and the Holograms. His other credits include The Boy Next Door and appearances on Pretty Little Liars and Heroes Reborn.

There’s still no word on who Guzman, who recently starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in Boy Next Door, will portray in the 13-episode event series from Heroes creator Tim Kring. However, if the circulated breakdowns for the project are any indication, Guzman could be playing a former military guy.

In addition to Coleman and Levi, Guzman joins previously cast Robbie Kay, Danika Yarosh and Henry Zebrowski. All but Coleman, who is reprising his role as Noah Bennet from the original series, play new characters.

Matt Shakman is directing the opening episode.

Guzman recurred on ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars. He has two features coming up: Jem And The Holograms and Richard Linklater’s That’s What I’m Talking About.

Ryan Guzman is ready to play ball…

Guzman will take on one of the lead roles in the 1980s-set film about a college freshman who moves into a fraternity-like baseball house with his hard-partying teammates.

Guzman, who starred in this summer’s Step Up All In, has the background for the part: He was a college pitcher before turning his attention to acting.

Additionally, offers are reportedly out for Glee’s Blake Jenner, Teen Wolf’s Tyler Hoechlin, and 22 Jump Street’s Wyatt Russell.

Guzman next stars opposite Jennifer Lopez in Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions’ thriller The Boy Next Door in early 2015. He’ll also portray Rio in the Jon M. Chu-directed Jem and The Holograms.
