2. Popular Boy
(named Dan Clifton)
Jake Wakeford is an actor with a huge background.
After having a number of honourable mentions at
award shows Jake finally got the accolade he so
greatly wanted following is outstanding role as the
lead in We Will Rock You he decided that his focus
would turn away from theater onto the big screen.
Dan is an 18 year old and is a cross-country athlete,
who is adored by everyone and is very popular. He is
quite arrogant and selfish, but with his girlfriend he is
caring and funny. Jake is a friendly, kind hearted
person but because he has played similar roles to our
character before he suits the role.

3. Girlfriend
(named Kit Greenway)
Gabriella Lowe is a fresh new actress in the film
scene. She has featured in soap dramas and
recently acted in a new coming-of-age film. We
felt Gabriella was the perfect actress for the role
of Kit because she is a strong, clever,
determined, independent woman and is taking
the film industry by storm.
Kit is a 17 year old and is in a loving relationship
with Sam. She is a strong and ambitious girl and
is highly intelligent. Our inspiration for this
character was Hermione Granger from Harry
Potter because her her intelligence

4. Serial Killer
(Stephan Lamington
Ross morrison has had extensive experience as a
stuntman in many films and has worked with the likes of
Eddie Redmayne and Simon Pegg. He has been behind
the scenes in films for a long time and we have casted
him because we think his unique skills suited the role.
The serial killer in our story is 18 years of age and is an
old friend of the popular boy. The killer has a personal
vendetta against the boy which is the murderer in Happy
Death Day, especially the costume, was our inspiration
for our character. The all black costume and creepy baby
mask creates a sinister and ominous atmosphere. The
killers motive is to take away everything in the boys life
that he loves, just like he did to him.

5. Detective Wright
Casey Drewett has had a wide range of acting
experience and has worked in theatre productions
such as The Sound of Music and We Will Rock You.
He has played a leading role as the villian (an
Albanian Human Trafficker) in an upcoming crime
thriller called The Fugitive. With Casey’s experience
and knowledge from being in a crime film makes him
perfect for the role.
Detective Wright a 30 year old man and is intelligent,
stubborn and strong-willed. Our character was
inspired by Inspector. Dave Toschi from the film,
Zodiac because his character follows the stereotype
of a detective. The detective in our film is purposely
names detective Wright because in the story the
detective is right about his suspicions and
investigation.

6. Police chief
(Chief Jones)
Mark Ellis has been a high profile teacher for a
number of years but after wanting a career change
he turned back to one of his first loves, acting. He
has been an extra in an number of films including
being mentored by Michael Caine on the set of
Batman as well as working closely with Idris Elba
on the set of Luther.
Chief Jones is a 50 year old police chief. He has
been in the force since the age of 20. He is
stubborn, direct and ruthless. There is no place for
a weak link in his team. We have taken inspiration
from S.W.A.T commander Hicks. With his work on
the set of Luther Mark knows what is needed to fit
perfectly into the role of Chief Jones

7. News reporter
(lily Jones)
Leila Saville is an experienced young
actress and has been tutored by many
famous actresses. During the filming for
Bomshell, she worked with three main
actress; Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman and
Charlize Theron.
The character we have based our reporter
on is Ainsley Whitly (Played by Halston
Sage) from a TV crime series called
Prodigal Son. Lelia’s strong, ambitious and
determined personality is very similar to
the Halston Sage’s character and with
leila’s knowledge of how to act as reporter
we felt she was perfect for the role.
