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.
