Production log

Pitch - cast

Mother/Mrs Cloutier - Sharon Stone

We chose to use Sharon Stone to play as our mother because of her appropriate age and her constant role as a serious character in other films she stars in. Such as Diabolique (1996) which is a drama, thriller, and horror film and this links with the genre of our title sequence therefore the role of a mother would suit her well. 





Father/Mr Cloutier - Tom Hanks 


We chose Tom Hanks because he has experience playing father roles, from previous films he has starred in before such as Forest Gump (2006) and has also played other serious characters. For example, in Apollo 13 (1995). 






Female lead/Violet Cloutier - Gal Gadot 


We chose Gal Gadot to be our main star because she has played numerous roles acting as a strong, intelligent yet seductive woman such as in Fast & Furious (2009) which was where she ultimately grew in popularity. 





Detective - Morgan Freeman 

Morgan Freeman is familiar with characters like a detectives which would make the performance more successful. For example, in the film Se7en (1995), he played an intelligent, independent and successful detective. 







Victim - Adam Gregory 

Adam Gregory was chosen to be our victim because he is young yet a successful man and would fit the role of our victim who is vulnerable and easily seduced. Adam also grew in popularity and gained a role in 17 Again (2009).
