THE OUTSIDER

Genre: Romance

Director: Nick Cassavetes

Location: Countryside

Setting: Present day setting

Actors: Leonardo Dicaprio

Kate Winslet

Matt Damon

The film is set in the countryside, in the present day. The setting is quiet. The outsider, Matt Damon, disturbs that peace and that’s how he stands out as the outsider. I chose the director to be Nick Cassavetes, as I love his work with the 2004 film, ‘The Notebook’ which is also a romance. I chose Leonardo and Kate to play along side each other, as I love their work together. When they played, Rose and Jack in James Cameron’s Titanic, it really showed that they have a true connection which shows through their work, which is why I chose them for this film. If the film was produced I wouldn’t like it to be strictly a romance, I would have action as a genre also. To make it more exciting, and just so it’s not simply concentrating on being one genre. Which makes Matt Damon a perfect choice, because of his work in the Bourne films. The film would concentrate on Dicaprio’s and Winslet’s relationship, then when Damon is introduced things change, but for the better.
