“Dream of the Romans”
Posted on February 11, 2008

Heery Casting is searching for a boy for a leading role in The Dream of the Romans, a new film starring Jeff Daniels (The Squid and the Whale) and Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls).

We are looking for a Caucasian boy age 7-8. Alex is Elizabeth's son (Lauren Graham). He is worldly and precocious, but a little insecure and vulnerable since his dad walked out a year ago.

Shooting begins in mid-March in Philadelphia.
Good to get a bit more info and confirmation:

The fact that Lauren's character has a son - I think that's new to us - I don't remember it mentioned in the sides, but perhaps I'm mistaken. Plus we got some background info - her partner/the boy's dad leaving them ...
Also the confirmation of her character's name, city and initial shooting schedule - all nice to get!
Juliekaye - your memory was fine!

They could take Ty Panitz (BISS) for her kid, lol.

I can't wait to see Lauren playing a single parent in that movie. It should offer some interesting acting skills.

I knew that would come. I think and hope Elizabeth will be different than Lorelai.

She's a chiropractor. Emily & Richard would have been proud, I think, lol.

LoL, you're right.

This role so far intrigues me the most. Maybe because it seems her character will get to have its own story focused on and won't just mainly be there as support or background for the others, as was mostly the case with her last films.

Apologises in advance doing a major hit and run - mainly because it's 2am here - I'll fix that first post up later today.

But additional DotR casting sides have been released, including ones for Alex.

Additional Casting Sides

General gist, Alex as we know is Elizabeth's son. She becomes involved with Arlen, from the sides it's not known what the outcome of that relationship is. Arlen poses as Alex's uncle when he goes to school to pick him up, on his way to babysitting him for the afternoon. A connection that Alex and Arlen have is through Arlen's father's piano, which Alex can play. Both have lost their fathers, etc.

After reading it, the more it's becoming apparent that the Romans part is to do with God (New Testament), since it's mentioned once or twice in a scene between Elizabeth/Arlen at her office. It's also mentioned that Arlen wrote a book called "Me and God". Regarding Lauren's character, single mother, who's a chiropractor who smokes and swears (well in one scene). She's very protective of Alex. The intertwining of the characters of the main 4 really is very intriguing and will be interesting to see it played out on screen. If the script is anything to go by, then it'll be a good film.

Much appreciated, Nadine!
"...smokes and swears." - right up Lauren's alley, lol.
Definitely sounds like a good film.

ETA - After reading the sides, it seems quite apparent that Elizabeth tries not to expose Alex to her vices, mentioned above ...
