Topic: Vengeance - (Casting call)
Hello folks!
In Sweden (where I'm from), during your third year at high school, every student has a project that they're supposed to work on during the entire third year. This project can be pretty much anything as long as it's somehow connected to what your studying to be. My project will be to create an environmentally-friendly movie using Lego and Stop Motion. Script is finished and right now all I need is the voice actors and I can get down to actually making the film.
"Vengeance" revolves around the main characters Kain and Lanias. They both hate each other and try their best to make sure that the other one dies (see character descriptions). The story is set in a post-apocalyptic steampunkish world with an oprespsive Imperium controlling pretty much everything and everyone. One branch of the Imperium is called "The Administration", a branch that acts sort of like a police force. There is also a fairly large Resistance movement with the goal to overthrow the Emperor and end the reign of the Imperium.
