An
open casting call was held last month to search for the three stars of the new Glasgow-set musical film created by Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch,
God Help The Girl. The lead role of Eve has still to be cast, but
Variety has reported that the other two characters have now been cast.
One of Screenterrier's favourite
faces to watch, 22 year old
Olly Alexander (represented in the UK by
Curtis Brown) will play James, the bookish and slim guitarist who accompanies Eve and becomes a mentor to young Cassie. Olly hit our screens with a role in the BBC's delightful school drama
Summerhill and went on to star in Gasper Noe's edgy
Enter The Void.
13 year old American starlet
Elle Fanning will play Cass, the young outsider befriended by Eve and James. Elle has just wrapped filming in London on the lead role of Ginger in Sally Potter's
Bomb, which also held an
online casting call, and she is also due to star as Aurora in Sleeping Beauty reboot
Maleficent alongside Angelina Jolie this year.
Shooting is due to start at the end of June in Glasgow.
