Being excited after completing my first screenplay, I went crazy casting it. Actually I double, triple, and even quadruple dipped- casting the same actor in several parts that is. I also cast several people as the same character. They appear in order of preference (more or less), left to right. First, the only two characters you've met thus far:

XAVIER- He is intelligent and dabbles in a little of everything. He is a dreamer. He really feels he loves LESLIE CHAPEL. He also has an attraction for NICHOLE SPINELLI and CRYSTAL CLEAR but nowhere near the extent of affection he feels for the taken Leslie. His roommate (for the past 4 years) and close friend is DREW HALLIWELL. He is also friends with MARIE CLEAR, and they all somewhat reluntantly hang around with DELILAH STONE. .

CASEY- Casting it over 2 years ago, I think Alyson Hannigan might look a little old to be playing a high school senior. The idea of Britney came to mind because this was back when she was expressing an interest to be in a movie but hadn't yet found one and didn't have the time. Since the character of Casey only appears in this one short opening scene, I thought it would be a good start for her acting career. Also picture, while listening to her walkman, that Hit Me Baby One More Time is playing. Talk about a sick sense of humor :-).

LESLIE- Embodiement of perfection, in Xavier's eyes anyway. She is smart, friendly, and has known Xavier for the past 4 years. However, during 3 and a half years of that duration she has been MARK BARRY's girlfriend.

Natalie Portman

Alyson Hannigan

MARK- Typical jock type, baseball all star. He is weasly & arrogant (reason people don't like him). He is going out with LESLIE CHAPEL and it is later revealed that he is also seeing NICHOLE SPINELLI.

JOHN- Temper when it comes to his girlfriend's (NICHOLE SPINELLI) wandering eye.

NICHOLE- Nichole is your typical flirty, scanky bad girl- simply put, slut. She is constantly swapping spit in public with her boyfriend (JOHN WHEELER). She also makes comments about other good looking guys in front of her him. Her roomate is ADRIENNE REAMS. She is the only female character that may wear make-up. I think Eliza would be great in this role. I don't know if I still think Jodie would be. I thought of Biel because this was back when she wanted to shed her 7th Heaven good girl image. Also thought it would be fun for Britney to play such a character. Don't think she'd do nudity but, hey, isn't that what body doubles are for? hehehe

ADRIENNE- She has a crush on her roommate's (NICHOLE SPINELLI) boyfriend (JOHN WHEELER). You can tell in her words and her eyes. She believes Nichole treats him poorly.

DELILAH- She is a bitch on wheels with a deadly attitude, an "If looks could kill" type. She has a thing for Xavier. I thought it would be great for Kirsten to play a bitch. Something she hadn't done before but something that would be awesome to watch. However, since my original idea, I believe she has been cast as such.

Kirsten Dunst

DREW- He is into sci-fi but, for once, is NOT the nerdy type. He is smart, sharp, and has a quick retort. He has been XAVIER HALE's roommate for the past 4 years and MARIE CLEAR's boyfriend.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

MARIE- She is a writer and editor of the school newspaper. She is also intelligent and possesses a quick retort. Her boyfriend is DREW HALLIWELL and her roommate, whom is also her cousin on her father's side, is CRYSTAL CLEAR. She is not all that close with her cousin. Alright, I think I just went overboard with Britney here. I know longer think she would be any good in this part.

CRYSTAL- The only freshman in a cast of seniors. She is reserved and, although she is smart, can be flighty and a bit of a scatter brain at times. Her parents asked her cousin MARIE CLEAR to watch over her and be her roommate as a favor. She is not close with Marie.

DOUGLAS EDWARDS- Psychology Professor. Best described as weird. He is in his late 30's. He smells bad, spits and drools, has messed up hair, and (may or may not) wear thick black glasses. He is the pinaccle of jokes, which are made right in front of him (students show no disclosure). He had a nervous breakdown a few years back (at the end of Xavier's Freshman year) when his fiancee dumped him at the altar. He spent the following year (Xavier's Sophomore year) in an asylum, and the next (Xavier's Junior year) on vacation to recuperate. Despite all this he just returned this year as head of the department. He feels Xavier is the son he never had because he is the only one who is nice to him. Xavier's friends are also kind but not as much. I still think Robin Williams is the ideal person for this part. John has the look already down, just exchange for a thick pair of black glasses and trim the facial hair. Harry's got the facial expression.

Robin Williams Harry Hamlin

John Glover Robert Downey, Jr.

WALTER MADISON- Business Marketing & Communications Professor. He is also in his late 30's, early 40's. He too takes a liking to Xavier. He is in the process of getting a divorce from his wife Eve. He is very depressed. Half heartedly jokes about how he couldn't sell himself to his wife. He is friends with DOUGLAS EDWARDS. Not revealed in the movie, he met Edwards in the asylum 2 years ago over the university's summer break after voluntarily checking in for a month. That is when the relationship between him and his wife had began to go sour. My hands down, number one choice remains Terry O'Quinn. I have special plans for him and this small part :-).

EVE MADISON- A young (early to mid thirties) beautiful woman of medium height with dark curly hair, steaming with anger, RANTING and RAVING.

LARGE MARGE- Overweight. She is short with short black hair, brown eyes, and a semi-cute face but a somewhat larger body. On the table in front of her sits a tray full of food- two hamburgers, large fries, giant soda, snack bags, etc. Throughout the diner scene, she is filling her face non-stop. "You know, for four years she's complained of being dumb, fat, ugly." "She is dumb!!! Too dumb to realize that the only reason she's ugly is because she's fat and the only reason she's fat is cause she's constantly filling her face!!!"
