(Yay! Finally a movie version!) This is a very important job as the general public has been waiting for this movie for a long time! The actors & actresses you choose to play the roles must be PERFECT! Here’s what your boss is expecting:You must create a House of the Scorpion Casting Catalog using a 3-ring binder or 3-prong folder. Sheet protectors also add a nice touch! Label each page in your catalog with the character’s name.Choose 2 candidates to play each character on the list. You will put them both on the same character page in your catalog. (Remember to take into account the actors age, appearance, and ethnicity. For example, you would not choose a 20-year old, small male to play the role of Tam Lin. Instead, you would need a 30-something, burly man to fit the part!)Include a “head shot” of each of your candidate choices. (Yes, you may get pictures from the internet or magazines. You may also choose to draw the picture of the person. Just include pictures (and be sure they are appropriate for school!).Under each head shot, include 1 paragraph stating why this would be the ideal actor/ actress to play this specific role. Your argument can mention looks, etc., but should NOT be the ENTIRE focus of your argument. You must include at least 1 quote per paragraph. The quote should be evidence of the characterization of the character—appearance, thoughts, actions, words, personality, etc)Be ready for your boss (me) to review your list of candidates and take it to the rest of the casting department (your class) for a final vote. (That means be creative and ORIGINAL in your casting decisions!)
