they are still doing script rewrites. if they cast now, the kids will be too young by the time principal photography begins in a year or two. generally casting is one of the last stages of pre-production.

isnt the whole point of speculative fiction is that the only restrictions on it is the ones that the writer makes up? thats what makes it great.
it isnt the plot that drives a story, its the complications that the character has to overcome to get to the end that makes it interesting. the innovativeness of those "rising actions" is the important part in genre fiction.
then there is the character's reaction to what is happening. for instance, orson scott card wrote the same story (ender's game) through another character's perception (ender's shadow). both great books in their own right.
in a screenwriting class i took last year, all 20 of us had to write a script with the same plot. in the end, there were 20 completly different stories. it is really all in how you tell it...
i missed a flight due by simply asking if i could be frisked by a female and not the guy who couldnt stop staring down my shirt. whereas he told me no and decided that he was going to feel me up while he was at it. i complained, and was detained for enough hours to miss my flight. last time i was in that airport, the bastard was still working there. arent there laws for this kind of thing?
