Cast Research

By researching into other films, its clear that if we had a large budget where we could hire well- known actors, we could choose a highly respected actress such as Emma Watson for the part of Rosie (older version).  At the age of 24, she is a young, up and coming British actress who has shown versatility in the various different productions she has been involved in. Richard Dyer's star theory suggests that icons and celebrities are manufactured by institutions for financial gain. If the actors in a film are famous and well-regarded then it will attract a larger audience and therefore produce a greater profit.

From firstly starring in the Harry Potter series, Emma Watson became extremely well-known and well regarded in the film industry.  This breakthrough led her to other projects such as 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower', 'The Bling Ring' and most recently 'Regression', a thriller set to be released in 2015.

She has a young and innocent look which would help portray the character perfectly as she is supposed to be scared and distressed by the woman from her dreams. With her being such a well-known and recent actress in the film industry, our production would gain a larger audience of fans wanting to see her work.  This technique is great for drawing in a larger audience as it helps to attract those people who are interested in this particular genre and also those who aren't.
