Characters & Actors

Charactors & Actors




Ray Winston has the grit required to play a corrupt police officer and would therefore be a good choice to play the villain of our film. He is recognised as a gritty British actor playing roles in films such as Sexy Beast. He often plays tough guys in gritty British films that are often based around crime for example '44 Inch Chest'

Clive Owen would also make a convincing corrupt police officer for similar reasons.he has made the journey from small British films to large American ones. He is an actor that sells the film himself; people who see that Clive Owen is in a film will assume that the film is a good one and worth watching.
He regularly performs in action films such as The International and the Bourne Identity, as well as cleverer, less vilolent and action filled films such as Children of Men.

Gemma Arterton would be good to play the leading role as she has the right look. She also played the main role in ‘the disappearance of Alice creed’ a film of similar genre.She is a very versatile actress who has been involved in Hollywood action films such as Clash of the Titans, and smaller British films. she is very much an up and coming actress and would undoubtedly attract an audience from her large fan base. It may be arguable that her looks would also help to attract a male audience however more importantly, as this is already a fairly male based film, she would also attract a female audience as she is playing the main character in a film of a genre that is mostly dominated by males.

Jamie Bell would be good as the younger no corrupt police officer who is supposedly murdered in the first scene as he looks the part, and has done action films before such as Jumper. He is young enough to play the character we have cast him for. He has blond hair and light features which would make him seem more vulnerable in his role. He is also an up and coming British actor which would help to attract an audience.

  1. You need to write in much more detail about each actor and what they would bring to the role.

    You need to do more than list other films they've done. How are these films and the characters they play in them similar or different to your film? What 'baggage' do these actors bring with them - how can they help sell your film to your target and niche audience?
