"Route South"

Playing the Role of Ralph: Milo Ventimiglia-Milo (Heroes) was chosen for Ralph because he's been said to have taken a variety of challenging roles. Therefore, playing Ralph should be no hard task. He also stars in NBC's hit show, "Heroes", and I'm confident that he can play the hero that Ralph wants to be. The clash between Ralph and Jack, would play out pretty well when Milo and Cam take their place.

Playing the Role of Jack: Cam Gigandet

-Cam (Twilight, the Unborn) has very often played the villain or antagonist. His face says it all. He can portray the bad guy with a single smirk, so it shouldn't be hard for him to want take control, just like Jack did in the story. His past acting roles and films are the main reason why i chose him. It couldn't have been an easier decision.

Playing the Role of Piggy: Jim Sturgess -Jim (Across the Universe, 21) is a great actor. He is also in fact, from London, United Kingdom, so you already have the voice that would remind you of Piggy. In "Across the Universe", Jim Sturgess plays Jude, who quickly befriends Max (played by Joe Anderson), so this leads me to believe that he can play Piggy who befriended Ralph. Piggy is put through a couple emotional test when on the island, and i believe that Jim is a good enough actor to portray any feeling.

Playing the Role of Simon: -Zach (Scrubs, Garden State) is one of my all time favorite actors. He's a really wacky, yet witty, character in real life. But his work in "Garden State" is what made it one of my favorite movies. He was able to play the numb-to-emotional feelings Andrew Largeman, and for most of the film he was in his head because he just had so many thoughts running around. Well, his somewhat quiet role makes me think that he's capable of playing the somewhat quiet Simon.

Playing the Role of Roger: Joe Anderson-Joe (Across the Universe) puts in a lot of energy into his roles. In 2007's "Across the Universe" he played Max, who was a young man who was drafted to the Vietnam War. His character was exciting, yet somewhat temperamental and leads me to think that he can play Roger. Roger also supports Jack's decisions, and i can see Joe and Cam working great together to fill those roles.

The "Beastie":

The Hot Sun over the Desert

Location/Setting:
I decided to change the location to a desert road in Nevada mainly because i was inspired by the Independent Film Wristcutters: A Love Story. I thought that it would be more realistic if my cast were to be driving down an empty road, after an unexpected detour, when suddenly their car breaks down. Being older people, i imagine that the storyline would take a different path. For only about 24 hours, (instead of days) the guys are left to cope with each other for the meantime, until they can receive help.
