Was thinking a LOT about my plot yesterday. Debating about the time era I should go with, and was leaning towards one area... and it hit me that I could do much better with the opposite direction.

I think it can turn out much better than I anticipated. Still putting the plot together in my head, but it's getting there.

I kind of feel bad because the roles I have in mind for del Toro and Bardem are kind of small, I didn't think they'd both still be around when it was late enough to cast their characters. But the little bit they are in is awesome, and they drive pretty much the entire plot.

There are a couple of incredible actors still left, but unfortunately my last main(ish) role had to be a younger actor.

Still very pleased to add Affleck nevertheless.

House Newberry
Directed by Darren Aronofsky

In the near future, a fishing boat carrying refugees from a deadly disease washes up on a strange island where a wealthy and charismatic man, along with his wife, and his wealthy benefactors, live in seclusion in fear of the disease. However the island holds more dangers than they know. This horror/drama follows the group, with several inter-cutting flashbacks.


Starring...



Emily Mortimer as Olivia Bell

Olivia escapes her disease-ridden country with her husband and 13 year-old daughter illegally aboard a friend-of-a-friend's fishing boat. She has a strained relationship with her husband, but is desperate to protect her daughter from catching the fatal disease that is rocking the world. Her husband, Lewis, was a high-ranking member of the UK CDC, and before giving up hope, he was working on creating a vaccine against the disease.


Maisie Williams as Callie Bell

Callie is Olivia's daughter. She is deaf, but inept at reading lips. Her mother learned sign language, but her father was always to busy to get a grip on it. Her parents work to escape the mainland with her, in order to protect her from a deadly disease sweeping across the globe. Being deaf has made her a very isolated person. She is constantly running off on her own and getting into trouble. Once on the island, she meets Mr. Newberry with the rest of the group. She is surprised to learn that he knows sign language, which causes her to enjoy his company.



Tom Hardy as Milo Thompson

An old friend of Olivia's husband, Lewis. He harbors a deep resentment for Lewis for something that happened while Lewis was working at the UK CDC on a vaccine. However, he chooses to help Lewis escape because he is also in love with his wife, Olivia. He holds a resentment against Lewis from during his work on a vaccine. Milo asked Lewis for a vaccine for his sister. Lewis told Milo that he could get one for him, but not for his sister. He gave Milo the vaccine kit, and Milo took it home to his sister. He gave her the vaccine, but a week later, she started having serious side effects. She died of complications from the vaccine shortly after. Milo is even more upset to find out later, that Lewis had never even taken the vaccine himself. He had realized it wouldn't work, but decided to hand out several of them as to test them on people.



Nick Offerman as Captain Tom Stewart

Captain Stewart, as he calls himself, commands a fishing boat. While in the UK, his ship gets put on lockdown as the country puts halts on international travel. As payment for an old debt, Stewart helps Milo get him and the Bell family out of the country. Their plan is to sail south, away from the spread of the disease. He is a very hard man, he is honest, but not afraid to act when he feels he needs to. He is one of the first members of the group to distrust the Newberys.



Daniel Day-Lewis as Caleb Newberry

the man in charge at the mansion. He commands a room, and can beat anyone in a debate. He is, however, extremely terrified of the plague. When his son died, he took his wife, and several other wealthy benefactors, and established a self-sustaining mansion complex on an unnamed island. He proves to be very two-faced, at times he is very cool and rational, but he takes things to very extreme levels at times. He is extremely defensive when he feels like his island community is being threatened.


Marion Cotillard as Maria Newberry

Caleb's french wife. She proves to be extremely deceitful and dangerous, and manages to seduce Lewis to suit her paranoid schemes. She is desperate to get control over him, as she sees him as the last hope at getting her a vaccine. She seems to be completely unpredictable, and she doesn't think things through before acting rashly.[/quote]


Julianne Moore as Eva Simon

Eva is the trophy wife of Rick Simon, a wealthy investor of House Newberry. To Olivia, she seems like one of the friendliest people there. She comes to Olivia later in the film distressed. She thinks that Maria killed her husband, and claims to have seen her doing it.
