By Melinda Loewenstein | Posted Sept. 1, 2014, 11:17 p.m. Photo Source: Courtesy of Affirm Films Former Universal Studios casting executive Nancy Nayor has always been a fan of the horror and sci-fi genres, but after casting The Grudge and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, she began receiving offers for more genre projects, like Casey La Scalas latest film, The Remaining. The Christian movie revolves around a group of friends celebrating the wedding of Dan (Bryan Dechart) and Skylar (Alexa Vega) when the Rapture hits and they are caught up in a dramatic end-of-the-world scenario. Having cast actors Adam Brody, Jennifer Morrison, and Mike Vogel early in their careers in La Scalas first film, Grind, Nayor says she knew he was going to have great taste in actors. Nayor and casting colleague Andy Henry had extensive mix-and-match chemistry read sessions, because La Scala wanted the actors to have real chemistry. And with no actors attached, Nayor started from scratch: Its fulfilling to build an ensemble from the ground up. Nayor and Henry are especially proud of the ensembles chemistry: [It] felt really great that they did feel like friends. I pride myself on casting actors that play well with others … Continue reading →
