Choosing a scene

After a few more days the hype for the indie movie the Mercenary Club was making had died down. Since they were unable to get any kind of leak or statement about the movie the reporters and vloggers chose to find the next big thing. 

It was at this time that the script for the movie was finally done. In a small, sunlit room filled with the remnants of snack wrappers and discarded scripts, The Mercenary Club members were each given the completed script and once they were done reading it they talked about who was going to be who. 

Emily, ever the vocal one, was the first to break the silence. "Of course, the male lead should be Alex, right?" she proposed, raising her hand as if in a class. "The main character has that tragic backstory a young boy who lost his parents on the battlefield, made to survive alone. He grows up tough but cares deeply for orphans, just like him. Sounds right for him, doesn't it?"
