Write and Star in your own Film?

Question by shyshyc/o05: Write and Star in your own Film?
Ok, I am an aspiring scriptwriter. I wanted to know if I sell my script to let’s say New Line Cinema , how do I become involved in Starring and Casting ? The Movie is a Comedy/Drama and I made a list of actors/actresses of whom I wish to portray the characters.

Well, that’s very ambitious of you little lady. I would say you should focus more on getting the screenplay purchased before trying to cast the movie. Chances are with you being a new writer even if a Major Company purchased your script you wouldn’t have much say in what goes on after that. After all it’s theirs once they buy it. For this reason you might want to look into independant production, but then you probably couldn’t get the big names that I’m sure youv’e dreamed up for your picture. But, you gotta start somewhere.
