Casting for Male and Female Lead

The casting for the roles sees two main characters of the leading male and female in the trailer. We will require a younger boy and girl similar looking to the main actors and actresses to play a younger version. We also require a boy friend for the leading actresses and some extras to play other students within the university setting and fellow friends.

We are holding are auditions and giving our analysis on the candidates.

Firstly, the role of the leading male. A love struck student holding on to his past and his childhood lover. A good looking character who will be appealing to the female audience as the typical handsome boy. As the main lead male in the movie they need to be fully commited to the film production and avaliable for all scheduled filming days. We will be looking at well known actors in this feild of genre and other areas to help bring more attention to the film through his following.


Jack Johnson - Unsuccesful
A well known, established actor known for his bad guy roles. We felt he didnt really fit the personal specification for the character we were trying to create  but felt the big actors name could help meke the film established like himself. He is typically known to be badly behaved, storming off set with a bad temper. He can be difficult to work with and high demanding. His bad boy image seen both on and off screen is the reason why we have chosen not to pick him for this role and recomanded he apply for the boyfreind role in the film which fits its personal criteria more.

James Fitzroy - Unsuccesful
This young inspiring actor showed bags of confeidence and talent. He got the attention of the team with his passion and commitment he shown. Unfortunatly, we felt he too did not fit the criteriea we were looking for within this character. However, we have offered to take him as an extra as his commitment and funny personality would be a credit to the team. We hope to see a lot more from this young guy who continues to develop into all sorts of feilds of filming and will one day be a big star. His lack of awareness in the industrey is another factor to why we did not choose him as the lead male but what this space.
 This lad is going places.

Lewis Robinson - Successful
A very well known actor in the romance industrey. A heart throb with the woman appearing on grandmothers mugs to young girls walls this guy is everywhere at the moment. After climbing his way to the top with his enthusiasim this lad has had the lead in numerous successful blockbuster hits in the romantic feild. He has worked alongside some of the legends in filming and through is many performances found him perfect for the role. He fits the personal specification of good looking, student look that the audience can relate too. He is avaliable for all of the filming days and we feel his name could help bring in more extra viewers to the film and bring the films awareness up. He has his own following which will help through promotion. He is expensive at the moment while at the peak of his career but after reading the script said himself "thisrole  is perfect for me and i have experience of a childhood romance myself i can apply and relate too" We felt sure that Lewis was the one for this from the moment he walked into the audition and feel he will bring a whole great of experience to his fellow actors and the production team which we find will be a great credit to the team.  

With the role of the female lead next we were looking for a good looking, sexy female actor who will bring a sexy edge to the film. The character of the girl is powerful and smart but shows signs of being vunerable. She is totally dependent on men in her life and feels hold back by her past she wants to let go off but cant. She really doesnt want to let go of her past in the end but tries to portray that she does want too. A complexed character with different layers of emotions and personalities which will need a very good actor to play her succesfully.
With the female lead we actually had to really well known actresess in the romance feild we approached to ask audition for the role. They were very simular in people and roles they have played. They are very good freinds and have worked alongside one another before and have been apart of lots of succesful films.

Aisling Byrne - Unsuccesful
Aisling showed great enthusiastic trates with great skills to portray the important emotional scenes needed for the film which her whole list of romantic films backs her up. We felt she was really good for the poistion bringing a sexy feel and vibe to the character and film. We felt she could master the layers to the characters personality really well. A girl at the top of her career who would fit this role perfect was unsuccesful. This was due to her lack of commitment as she is currently filming for the new James Bond film as the leading bond lady and she therefore, could only commit to certain days of filming when we would need her to be fully commited to all filimg days. With her other job planned for another 6 months filming around the world we could saddly and with regret not have the leading lady in the romance genre at the peak of her career in our film but wish her all the best in the new Bond film.

Ciara Walton - Succesful
A young rising star who has the world at her feet. Just out the back of a oscar winning film this young lady has everyones attention from the media, big directors and men from all over the world. After watching her performance in her lastest film we felt she was perfect for the role. She was tightly contested for the poistion with her best freind who dominates the romance genre when she is still in her "honeymoon period" of her career. we felt this talented young actor could bring and learn alot from this performance. Her amazing talents already have her an oscar and with the world watching her next move we feel this could bring alot of publicity to the film. She really understood the dimensions of the character and has already worked alongside on leading male actor Lewis Robinson last year and felt there was a real connection between them on set. She has fully commited to the poistion and while floods of offers for films, theatre productions and musical offers come rushing in she will only be working with us over the next couple of months. This will help her concentrate and we are proud to be apart of the production helping thjis young lady live out her dream and hope to guide her up to the top.


We feel the two leading actors and actresess where a success and feel there is a real connection between them on set and off set. We feel this is a great oppourunity in both of there careers with on at there peak and another as a rising star stealing the world media attention and boys hearts. Both very talented actors will be surrounded by young and ledgendary supporting cast which they can guide and be guided by to help attain a succesful production.
