Actor’s name: Drew Barrymore Explanation: Drew Barrymore is a very outraged person. But after rehabilitation, Drew Barrymore became tamed and is much like Kate today. Today Drew has settled down and is not in much of the spotlight. . Once Petruchio tamed her she calmed down and was respectful of others. Petruchio acts like the rehabilitation for Kate. For these reasons we think Drew Barrymore could easily relate to this character and make it more personal. Drew Barrymore has a lot of acting experience also, some of her most well known movies are; 50 First Dates, Charles Angels, and He Just Isn't That Into You. In all of these movies she plays a major rule. She is use to the spot light, and the incredible responsibilty of such a big role.
 * KATE **

Actor’s name: Johny Depp Explanation: Johnny Depp has a lot of experience in acting. He has been the main character in all of the Pirates of the Carribean movies. In all of these movies he mostly plays a serious rule, but can also be some what humerous. This is the same kind of person we need for Petruchio. He can be very serious and mean to kate but at the same time he shows a sense of humor. Johny Depp is also a very famous and well liked actor he would draw many fans to see our movie.
 * PETRUCHIO **

Actor’s name: Zac Efron Explanation: Zac Efron is an inspiring young actor. In all three High School Musical movies he plays a determined character. This could be helpful in his job as Lucentio because Lucentio is determined to win Bianca's love. In the High School Musical movies Zac thrives to win Gabriella's love, and much like Lucentio, ends up getting the girl. He has much experience as a determined young man and would be the perfect character for Lucentio.
 * LUCENTIO **

Actor’s name: Vanessa Hudgens Explanation: Vanessa Hudgens has great experience acting as a young "good girl" in the three High School Musical movies. As her character, Gabriella Montez, she was a straight "A" student and was considered a "science geek". Gabriella was always very successful and lovable, as Bianca was in the Taming of the Shrew. Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron have alot of experience working together, and are friends outside of Hollywood. Which is just a plus to having them act together.
 * BIANCA **

Actor’s name: Alec Baldwin Explanation: Alec Baldwin would be best for the part of Gremio because he is an older fellow and in his movies, such as Dr. Suess the Cat in the Hat, he acts as a rich guy that usually wants what he can't have. In his movies he tries to win people over with his money and power. This is how Gremio was in "Taming of the Shrew." He wants Bianca and tries to win her love with his money and power. In most of his movies this is the character he plays, his look just sends off that vibe. As Alec Baldwin has had many similar parts as the part of Gremio then Alec would have no problem adjusting to this character.
 * GREMIO **

Actor’s name: Robert Downy Jr. Explanation: In his movie Iron Man he was a really confindent with whatever anyone would ask him to do. He was highly intelligent and equiped to doing his job. As was Hortensio in Taming of the Shrew when he was trying to get Bianca. He was confident in winning her over and was ready for whatever came his way. Robert Downy Jr. was a great actor in Iron Man and would be an ideal part for Hortensio's rule.
 * HORTENSIO **

Actor’s name : Michael Cera Explanation: Michael Cera is a young guy who is some of his movies plays a "side kick" for example, in Super Bad he acts as a side kick to Johan Hill. For this reason we think Michael Cera could easily adapt to the part of Tranio. In another one of Michael's movies, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, he works with Drew Barrymore who also is in our movie, they already have a past and would be able to work well together.
 * TRANIO **

Actor’s name: Steve Carell Explanation: In Dan in Real Life, Steve Carell plays a father of three, he plays a strict father figure, also he is a father to two children in real life. He could relate to being a father in The Taming of the Shrew because he has to deal with his children after work as well. Also that could help him to relate and make the part of Baptista more real because he can relate to his own children
 * BAPTISTA **
