Casting - The Teen Titans

My next project is a challenging one. Casting  The Teen Titans

Before anyone attempts to cast a movie such as "The Teen Titans" they need to first understand exactly what they are casting. They need to know not only characters, interaction and timeline to an extent, but also who will fill what role and who gets how much screen time. You have to know which characters and where in that characters life you will be casting them. Group/Team superhero movies are not that easy to make. You have to follow a singular storyline while at the same time giving a story for each character.


In my casting call I took into thought a few things. First, if I were making a movie, obviously it wouldn't be very linear to other DC movies. Not that we have alot of options at this point. Mostly because the Batman movies will never have a Robin. This movie would have to allow for the characters to have had to reflect, sort of as how they once were a team for the opening. Much like the new hulk goes over his history in the first few seconds of the film. Enough to give us a guidline or understanding.
The "Teen Titans" were the trainees of the most famous superheros known. When they were kids they formed a team called "The teen Titans" in my casting it would be that now they have split up and aren't kids anymore. Something brings them together. Simple enough no need for details at this time. We have established who will be in it, (The Somewhat Orginal Teen Titans) how old they are, (in their 20's) and whats going on.

Like I said you have to establish which characters aand where in their life they are. So stick around here to find out who I pick for the team and who I pick to play them.
