Ellen Page in ‘Beyond: Two Souls’: casting for the next generation of motion capture

Speaking at a presentation of Beyond: Two Souls in action, QD founder David Cage explained how Page became involved in the game — before even she knew it. “When I started writing the script,” he said, “usually what I’m doing is I get a picture of existing actors without necessarily having them in mind to have them in the game. It’s just to help me having a face to look at their eyes and say, “I know how he’s going to react in that situation.” It helps me. And the first pictures I got for Beyond were of Ellen Page.”
