Powerhouse Casting (with DJ Qualls thrown in because we ran out of money and he said he would do it for the free snacks)

In the new short avant garde film entitled Frankenstein; Lost and Misunderstood, the main lead of Victor would be voiced by Sean Connery. His presence on screen would command the respect of the viewers. Connery, while charismatic and handsome, would also challenge his viewers. After all, this story is word-of-mouth. Could this entire creation be thought up? Connery would only allow for the notion to be realized at the conclusion of the film, making a story so full of questions even more questionable.


As for the monster, I would have Lawrence Fishburne play this role. I understand that this choice is not common, but it is true to the style of film I wish to create. Fishburne would elicit sympathy from the viewers just as he did in The Matrix. Could one not feel the pain he felt during his interrogation? Fishburn would do the same thing in my film, but also have the brutality to kill when needed. Fishburn is well spoken, and would nail the monster's monologue during the middle portion of the story. 


Robert Walton would be portrayed by Liam Neeson. Neeson would play the level headed survivalist that takes in Victor during his time of need. Neeson would also need to whip out his mysterious Scottish accent for this part; it would help him appear more interesting and sophisticated. Oooh, I think of his voice reading over the letter Walton sent to his sister... He is perfect for the part! His mannerisms would only add to the betterment of Walton's character, which would promote the film to a whole new level of artistic merit.


William Frankenstein would be played by a young DJ Qualls. Qualls would be perfect for this role. His weak and feel appearance would allow for a the audience to feel much sympathy for him. He would fit the role of a pure, innocent, angelic being so very well. Seriously, who could kill off this guy? Look at him! His face so welcoming; he couldn't hurt a fly. Besides, I think Qualls' scrawny neck would fit well in the infuriated clutches of Fishburn. I'm not his biggest fan... so I would really appreciate his death scene... probably a little too much. 

I did not just pick this actor for his death scene. 

I promise.
