CASTING CALL
CHENAULT
Description:
A casting notice has went out for the film's female lead, Chenault, IN EARLY JANUARY 2009 and reported by The Johnny Depp Zone on 12 January 2009. It is quite possible that Bruce Robinson was still undecided and had decided to make the casting call in the hope of auditioning more prospects having already started the process at the end of 2008.
BACKGROUND: 1960: Divorced alcoholic and
struggling novelist PAUL KEMP [Johnny Depp] decides to kick around San Juan until his ship comes in, working as a journalist for a daily
newspaper that's on its last legs, drinking gallons of rum and experimenting with LSD. With his new friend BOB SALA by his side,
he becomes entangled in a corrupt hotel development scheme with a slick PR consultant
named SANDERSON, and falls in love with Sanderson's unattainable girlfriend, CHENAULT.
CHENAULT: A beautiful, 25 year old,
translucent vision from Connecticut, with a killer smile and a wry, enigmatic personality,
she wears barely-there sarongs, sunbathes nude, and oozes sexuality in everything she
does. She enchants and mesmerizes Kemp from the moment they meet: while both
escaping a tedious, high-end party. Chenault is dating and possibly engaged to Sanderson, but clearly feels an attraction to Kemp. She's a daredevil who loves to dance and drive fast. She gets into big trouble with a lust-crazed, violent crowd during Carnival in St. Thomas. .. LEAD. This role contains nudity.
