Casting Call: “You’re Next”; How Far Would You Go to Survive
Levi (Main Character)
Male, 20–24 years old
A kind, thoughtful young man who tries to do the right thing — until he’s forced into an impossible moral dilemma. When chosen as an assassin in a government-run “Depopulation Initiative,” Levi must decide between saving his best friend or his own family.
Vibe: Calm, expressive, emotional depth, able to portray inner conflict.
Tristan
Male, 20–24 years old
Levi’s best friend — a bit rougher around the edges, but loyal and full of heart. Tristan is battling a serious illness, and his friendship with Levi grounds the story in warmth and humanity. His tragic fate becomes the emotional turning point of the film.
Vibe: Natural, warm energy with an edge; expressive and believable connection with Levi.
Mara (Levi’s Mom)
Female, 45–55 years old
A kind, caring, and slightly teasing mother. She represents comfort and safety in Levi’s life — the emotional anchor that heightens the stakes when his family’s life is threatened.
Vibe: Nurturing, down-to-earth, able to balance warmth and tension.
Teacher
Any gender, 30–50 years old
A composed, articulate academic who introduces the ethical debate that frames the story. Their lesson on morality becomes eerily relevant to Levi’s own situation.
Vibe: Professional, intelligent, clear communicator.
Desk Worker
Any gender, 25–45 years old
A professional at the Governor’s office. Appears polite and helpful at first but is ultimately indifferent, symbolizing the system’s cold bureaucracy.
Vibe: Professional, composed, subtle authority, able to show quiet insincerity.
Delivery Person
Any gender, around 25–35 years old
A government messenger — cold, efficient, and detached. Delivers Levi’s assassination order with unsettling calmness.
Vibe: Slightly intimidating, mysterious presence, strong delivery and timing.
