Plot Four:
The story is about a woman in London who is very wealthy.
Instead of spending money and sitting around all day, she has an ordinary job, does charity work, and enjoys being helpful and caring. Basically, she is a wonderful person who helps people because she wants to. She enjoys having money, but wants to feel normal, so she gets the tube to work every day. She gets the tube at the same time every morning and every evening. This is observed by her train driver.
He is a disturbed man in his late forties with an unhappy wife and an illegitimate 8 year old son who the man ignores. The train driver watches the woman every day, and becomes really intrigued as to what her life is like. He therefore begins to stalk her.
He finds out where she lives, and steals small, personal things from her, and his favourite item is one stud earring. One day he sees her get on the train with a man, who she kisses as she gets off the train. This makes the train driver go mad with jealousy and he decides to fulfil her wish of being normal – murderers go after “normal” people.
He waits until one day when she is alone in her carriage. At the next station, he tells everyone to get off the train, but doesn’t open the doors to her carriage. He takes her close to the end of the line, where he ties her to the train track. He attaches a note to her body – “bad things happen to good people, so why be good?” He leaves, and when the next train comes into that station, she is crushed.
You then see him get back into his driving pod and put the single stud earring on his dashboard. The camera pans to show rows of other single stud earrings sticking out of sponges. Each one is different and symbolises a woman he has stalked and killed.
The next day, the train driver notices another nice woman and his obsession continues…
Characters:
I chose to cast Nicole Kidman as the wealthy woman.
I made this decision because I believe she would play the role well. She has an appearance that represents the characteristics of the woman in the story.
She has an image that shows elegance, sophistication and wealth. Whilst at the same time, she looks ordinary, approachable and seems kind. She is also attractive and therefore likely to attract male attention; therefore it is believable that the train driver spots her out of others. As well as these characteristics, she also looks quite innocent and naïve, making her an easy victim to choose.
She has had successful appearances in many films and remains to be an extremely good actor. She starred in ‘The Others’ (2001) which is a horror film, where she played Grace, the main character, a mother who isolates her two children in a Victorian mansion on the British isle of Jersey near the end of World War II. It is said to have been “an ice-cold grabber of a performance by Nicole Kidman.” She has also starred in many other successful films such as ‘The Hours’ (2002), which is a drama, and ‘Margot at the Wedding’ (2007) which is a tragicomedy.
I chose to cast Sean Bean as the other main character (train driver.)
I thought he fit the character perfectly as he has a slightly sinister and distrusting appearance, and would be convincing playing a murderer driven by depression, obsession, boredom of day to day life and troubled family life. I think this would all be conveyed well by Sean Bean and therefore make it scarier for the audience.
Also he is an actor who usually plays a villain, which he has done in many of his films which were successful, for example ‘Lord Of The Rings’ - Boromir, James Bond's adversary in ‘GoldenEye’ - Alec Trevelyan, Nicolas Cage's competitor in ‘National Treasure’ - Ian Howe, IRA fringe terrorist out for revenge on Harrison Ford in ‘Patriot Games’ - Sean Miller.
Therefore I believe Sean Bean would be perfect for playing the villain, and a dark character to use in this plot.

The other plot i chose was Plot Two:
This is a sci fi thriller based in modern day New York. The film follows a middle-aged man suffering from total amnesia as he attempts to retrace back his life, relying fully on an official government badge stating only his name. The man discovers he was part of a secret government organisation whilst finding his way inside a government building, but when found unrecognised, he is interrogated and misjudged to have forged his badge (the only way of entering the building) using the name of an existing employee of the organisation.
After lengthy prosecution, the man and employee are discovered to be the same person through genetic testing, and little by little, with the help of the agency, the man’s existence is uncovered to strangely be a future version of the current employee.
In a shocking resolution, the man is forced to recapture his memories revealing a stunning truth – that he was sent back 2 decades in time to deliver a message to the present world and prevent the future from happening; a future that would inevitably lead to the destruction of mankind itself.
The man is ‘the rectifier,’ and holds all the answers the world needs to help maintain the existence of the human race. The problem is, will he be able to reach these answers from the deepest corners of his own confused mind, or will the unseeable flaw of “time travel caused amnesia” be the ultimate downfall for planet earth?

I chose to cast Will Smith to star in this film.
I thought he would play an extremely successful role in this movie as the main character, and fits the description perfectly.
He has experience in a large number of different genres of films, and has played similar types of roles.
In 2004, he starred in ‘I, Robot’ which was a science fiction. This shows he plays roles similar to this well, as this plot is partly a science fiction film.
In the ‘Men in Black’ films, he played agents, which would link to his role in this plot as a Government agent, and was also a sci-fi, but showed his comical side as well.
The extremely successful 2007, ‘I Am Legend’ was a post-apocalyptic science fiction film. It starred Will Smith who portrayed the story well, and showed good acting. Confusion was a feeling felt by Will Smith in the film, which he would also show in plot two.
The 2008 ‘Hancock’ was an American superhero film, which starred Will Smith as a vigilante superhero, John Hancock. This would link to the part in the plot where they realise he is ‘the rectifier’ and will help maintain the existence of the human race.
As well as these successful films, he has also starred in more subtle genres, such as ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’ as Chris Gardner, with his son Jaden Smith which was quite an emotional film.
He has starred in many different films, and this shows he is very adaptable and has shown qualities in his previous films that would be useful in this plot. He is also the perfect age of 40.
