PRIMARY IDEAS: DIRECTIONS

So my first idea for my character in my film is a man who has just been released from prison. Taking inspiration from Refn's film Bronson, in a way taking the part of the film where Charles Bronson is let out of prison. Also I look at The Shawshank Redemption and when the character Red leaves prison to discover that after being inside for so long he has no place in the real world.

This type of character will probably be a loner or an anti-hero.

The main thing I am looking for in my main actor is a physical presence much like that of Tom Hardy, Mads Mikkelsen and Ryan Gosling.

I have seriously been thinking about using Plamen. I know the rules say otherwise, but I feel that from knowing him for this term and also seeing him in my first practice scene, that he may just be the perfect person.
