Casting






For the roles of Alex as a child and older child, we've chosen 2 of my younger brothers to play the roles. One of them (Harry) is 3 and the other (James) is 10. As these are the perfect ages and I know they're available to help us, I see no reason not to use them to play the characters in the film. They look similar to each other, which is good because they're playing different versions of the same character. Also, these roles don't require too much acting and I know that their acting ability is good enough for their roles. 

For the future versions of Alex, the adult and teenager, we decided to cast me. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. Seeing as the younger generations are played by my younger brothers, I'm next in line and would seem like the obvious person to cast. We accept that this seems a bit lazy, but it's perfectly justified and makes everything easier. Plus, I look similar to my brothers and can act (apparently).



This is Alex.
(Ignore the cocktail)



As for the role of "The Shadower" we've chosen Alex, Rachel's boyfriend. This is because Alex apparently really, really wants to be in our film. He also has some acting ability and can drive to our filming locations in his fancy car, which is handy.

Plus, just look at that face. You say no to that... You can't, can you? fwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr.

Jokes aside, Alex fits the bill for some cool time-travelling guy. Why? His futuristic hairstyle, that's why. It just screams "Hey there, I'm a sexy guy from the future and I'm going to leave you cool notes and stuff throughout your childhood, which will leave you with psychological scars that will never heal and make your girlfriend leave you!.. Accidentally, of course". Why else would a time-traveller leave mysterious notes throughout somebody life? 



Rachel
(Ignore the face)



For the small part of the Skye girlfriend, we've chosen our own Rachel. This is because she is highly available and can easily throw a hissy-fit, which is what the role demands.





Here's Chloe
(Ignore Moomin)



Also Chloe's going to appear in it at one point, in a small cameo. Just like Stan Lee or a modern day Alfred Hitchcock, but female. 

We're also assembling a load of extras to appear in the pub scene. I'd type the list here now, but the list would be long and we don't yet know if anyone will drop out. Hopefully we'll get lots though.
