chapter 6

Scott Speedman and Kate Beckensale are two great leading actors/actress; even though not major stars. They worked extremely well with the director and their ensemble. They brought their characters to life in both films. The director did a wonderful job highlighting everyone of the actors in the film. He didn't just focus on Speedman and Beckensale; which is a great quality in a film. The people chosen to play certain characters were chosen wisely as well. For instance, the audience loved the English actors in the first film so the director brought more English actors in to play more into what the audience demanded. Audience demand filled and talented actors is the equation for success.
Beckensale fits well into her character with experience from Winged Creatures and Van Helsing. She also has the ability to hand fear and surprise thanks to the films The Vacancy and Broken Down Palace. Speedman, on the other hand, has a wide range of roles from XXX: State of the Union to The Strangers. These two actors are supported by an exquisite ensemble; including Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon and Blood Diamond), Bill Naghy (Shaun of the Dead and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and At World's End), and Tony Curran (Miami Vice and League of Extraordinary Gentleman) just to name a few. Each actor compliments the other to provide an excellent performance. All the actors cast in both films have great experience and bring a lot to the films; with the experience comes very realistic acting skills. The audience feels as though they are right with that actor in the action and everything taking place is very real.
