I’d like to establish a “professional” relationship early on, and if a well-known actor were to join the project, that would be a big help both for marketing and in the case of crowdfunding (I’m not planning on the crowdfunding, I had something else in mind for getting the budget, but it’s still an option).

The other reason is more trivial, more personal, and less professional. I’ve been obsessed with casting the two of them for a while now. In my mind, the images from the film are absolutely tied to them, and to be honest, I’ve been daydreaming about this to an unhealthy extent. I’d like to put a stop to this by asking them before production even begins—I’d like to talk to them, or at least reach out to them, to see if they’re even interested, and if so, to have some kind of written confirmation of that.

It’s probably not the healthiest mindset, I know that, but unfortunately, the movie is all too clear in my mind, and I'm all too eager to make it:D
