For my next pick, I select Jean-Claude Carrière, writer.
Carrière worked closely with Luis Buñuel towards the end of the director's career, beginning with "Diary of a Chambermaid" and eventually writing 6 of Buñuel's final 8 films, including "Belle De Jour", "The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie" and "That Obscure Object of Desire". He went on to gather 133 writing credits to this day, including notable films such as "The Thief of Paris", "The Tin Drum", "The Unbearable Lightness of Being", "Cyrano de Bergerac" and "At Play in the Fields of the Lord", and we are proud to announce that his next project will be to work with acclaimed director Krzysztof Kieslowski on his new film Vert, Tout Vert.

So I actually have a secondary lead. I need a multinational actor here that can play smart and sophisticated, or street rat. I know that this Slumdog star will be perfect. With my 14th pick, I select:
Dev Patel
(Julian "Bean" Delphiki (Greek)/Bernard (French))
Filmography:
Bean - Ender's last friend at Battle School, Bean is very reminiscent of Ender when he first arrived. Bold and brilliant, Bean helps Ender with Dragon Army and also helps him hold on to his humanity. He is one of Ender's commanders against the buggers.
More:
"Most victories came from instantly exploiting your enemy's stupid mistakes, and not from any particular brilliance in your own plan."
Bernard - Bernard has his arm broken by Ender on the shuttle ride over because he attacked him. Bernard tries to bully the launch group into disliking Shen and Ender. Bernard is one of those who went with Bonzo to corner Ender in the showers.

Dev Patel
(Julian "Bean" Delphiki (Greek)/Bernard (French))
Filmography:
Actor Credits
- The Last Airbender (2010) Zuko
- Slumdog Millionaire (2008) Older Jamal
More:
Bean is a student of Greek and Igbo descent from the streets of Rotterdam. Though the youngest member of the jeesh, he is also the smartest, and Ender initially notes that he is isolating Bean as Ender himself was once isolated, in order to force Bean to flourish. Though nothing more than a supporting character in Ender's Game, Bean becomes the lead character of his own set of books, revealing his role as the behind-the-scenes facilitator of most of the main events of that time period (the victory against the Formics, the uniting of Earth under Peter Wiggin, so on); being "behind the scenes" is a central theme in these works, as Bean realizes at the end of Ender's Shadow that he will always be the sub-commander to save the supreme commander from his own errors and never receive recognition for the brilliant strategies that his superiors will.
Bernard - Bernard has his arm broken by Ender on the shuttle ride over because he attacked him. Bernard tries to bully the launch group into disliking Shen and Ender. Bernard is one of those who went with Bonzo to corner Ender in the showers.
More:
Bernard is part of Ender's launch group and treats the precocious Ender with great contempt (partly due to the fact that Ender had broken his arm on the shuttle to the Battle School). Bernard is also seen as a ringleader and the main antagonist in the first few chapters of the book, and he takes great delight in picking on Ender and Shen, a young boy who is also in the launchy group. However, his stranglehold on the clique falls apart when Ender and Alai become friends in the battle room, and after Ender manages to hack into the computer system and posts a message saying "Cover your butts, Bernard is watching," signed "God." Later Ender also writes another note, seemingly by Bernard, saying "I love your butt, let me kiss it. - Bernard." Bernard was also one of the companions of Bonzo Madrid, when he met Ender in the bathroom in an attempt to kill him.

Spiked Productions has made the following choice for the role of Eye Candy in the musical, Space Nuts!
Ladies and gentlemen, Ms. Kelly Brook.
Mel likes his ladies to be um, talented. Aside from theatrical work, she played the girlfriend of Lex Luthor in four episodes of Warner Bros.' Smallville during the show's first season (2001 - 2002). She has also completed assignments as a movie actress in Canada and made a short appearance as Lyle's girlfriend in the 2003 movie The Italian Job (which was just on FX).

As previously stated, my movie is actually the first part of a trilogy. The final member of my credited cast is the one who gets the "Darth Maul" role. By that, I mean two things:
1) She has most of the best lines/fight scenes in this movie, despite the fact that she's not billed as a "star" of the movie (she's seventh in the billing, only ahead of Keith David in credits order) and, despite not having much screen time, dominates the scenes she's in. The screenwriter/executive producer (read: me) wrote the script to try to set her up for a shot at a BSA award. And this is because...
2) She is the only member of the credited cast to only appear in the first movie. In fact, her death is the primary event of the climax of the first chapter of the trilogy.
As I mentioned in the tease, the movie opens with convicted eco-terrorist "Gaia" Green being broken out of jail by an all-female gang. The recognized leader of that gang, at the start of the movie, is Chastity "Chas" Knight, who will be played by...
Tiffani Thiessen

You know that IMDB has TV series as well, right? Even the most absurd nonentities of TV series. Just a few days back I noticed that the tall guy from Little Britain had a cameo in a series I was just watching, called Spaced (Simon Pegg that one mate of his, Bill Bailey and noone else of note). However, I wasn't quite sure, as he was playing a transexual and wore lots of face paint and I was able to find out whether it was indeed him in a matter of seconds. I just love IMDB, nothing trumps their database.
Wish I had checked in last night to avoid a 12-hour hault, but I think I'm going to opt for the skip here. The last couple picks of mine have been somewhat arbitrary and I feel like I should really put my ideas together before making my last pick. I'll post a make-up at some point during the round, but don't want my last pick to be a random name thrown out for the sake of taking my turn.
