1. Actor Planning

2. NAME: WISSAM ITANI
CHARACTER NAME: “ROOK”
HAT CHOICE: NONE
0001
Character description: “Rook” is the rookie that
has the potential to join the gang. In the beginning
of the film the audience might picture him as the
protagonist although as the film opening develops,
a moment will foreshadow, revealing that he
becomes the antagonist. When constructing this
character, I draw inspiration from Leonardo
DiCaprio’s character in the film “The Departed.”,
showing a much more composed and calm
character although finishing the movie on an
intense note. During the scene with dialogue, he
must be composed but show a small amount
intensity. The audience will be able to empathize
with this character the most as the story is from
his point of view and the theme of “corruption”
will develop on him from the beginning of the film,
all the way till the end. Also having no full name
creates mystery, instead he is called normally by
his nickname “rook” and the audience does not
receive a back story for this character unlike the
others.

3. NAME: JOSH LUNDALL
CHARACTER NAME: Charles
“CHAPLIN” Trump
HAT CHOICE: FLAT CAP
0002
Character description: Charles “Chaplin”
Trump is a character with very little
words and the ideology of “actions speak
louder than words” are presented
through this character. The nickname
“Chaplin” has been given to him due to
his inability to speak similar to the
concept of Charlie Chaplin who is famous
for his silent films. This characters back
story involves being in a fight at a young
age and getting punched in the throat,
inevitably injuring his voice box. I have
chosen the flat cap as it is very popular in
British and also relates to Charlie Chaplin
being British. I have chosen the flat cap
instead of a traditional bowler hat as it
would seem more appropriate for a
more modern take.

4. NAME: BRENNAN NAIDOO
CHARACTER NAME: PERRY
“PERI”
HAT CHOICE: BEANIE
0003
Character description: Perry “Peri” is an
extremely wild character with very little
disregard of sympathy. He is maniacal and
rowdy although he takes pills to help calm
him nerves down. The nickname “Peri” is a
play on words referring to the hot sauce
made from crushed chillies. This symbolizes
the explosiveness and short temper of this
character. Some say that his backstory
involved his mother eating handfuls of chilli
while being pregnant with him or the abusive
behaviour of his father when he was a
toddler. He is largely based on the character
called “Bullet Tooth Tony” portrayed by
Vinnie Jones in the movie “Snatch”. I have
chosen the beanie as the hat is used on
tough characters such as Eminem or Tyrese
Gibson in “4 Brothers”.

5. NAME: MICHAEL GOLDENITZ
CHARACTER NAME: “TINY”
TYRONE
HAT CHOICE: SNAPBACK
0004
Character description: Tiny Tyrone is a failed
rapper that never made it to the hip hop
industry. He is a very proud individual and
knows the harsh reality of life, he is
described as a hustler. The nickname “tiny” is
used in irony as Tyrone is actually very tall.
Inspiration for this nickname came from
“Little John” from “Robin Hood” when
constructing his character. His back story
involves being brought up by an African-
American community and being largely
influenced by hip hop. Tyrone aspired to
make it big and achieve the dream of being a
world recognized rapper although his mix
tapes were rejected when sent to large
record labels. The snapback was the
preferred choice as they are a popular trend
in the hip hop industry. Artists such as NWA,
Wu Tang Clan and many more.

6. NAME: MUSTAFA HESHAM
CHARACTER NAME: LOUIS
“LIU KANG”
HAT CHOICE: HEADBAND
0005
Character description: Louis “Liu Kang” is a
“wanna be Bruce Lee”. He idolizes Bruce Lee
in terms of culture and style. Louis tries to
duplicate the charisma and flair of Bruce Lee.
His back story involves his parents being
extremely busy with their jobs and since he
was an only child, he grew up watching one
channel that only played reruns of Bruce Lee
movies. Their family saved on costs by not
buying cable TV so that was the only channel
available. Although later on, he started
visiting the arcade, becoming addicted to
video games and nickname “Liu Kang” comes
from the Bruce Lee inspired character from
the “Mortal Kombat” videogame series. I
have chosen the headband as “Liu Kang”
where’s this accessory throughout the
videogame series.
