[SOLARA]
18 years old, Solara is first seen in unflattering work clothes; her face grimy, her hair tied back in a ponytail. But even through all this, it is clear that she is strikingly alive. Her spirit has not been crushed and that makes her the most beautiful creature in the world. Claudia's daughter, Solara is caught in a terrible trap: local strongman Carnegie can force her to do anything he wants by threatening her mother. Ordered to seduce Eli and keep him off guard, Solara fails in her mission, and soon realizes that Eli is like no man she has ever met: he balks at being reduced to animalistic behavior, and he uses violence to serve a cause greater than his own. Moved by Eli's heart and spirit, Solara opts to follow him on his journey, and becomes his friend and pupil...LEAD. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.
[CARNEGIE]
A man in his 40s or older, Carnegie is a ruthless yet charismatic dictator in charge of a town near Sacramento; he's an extortionist, slave driver, saloon keeper, and antiquarian. Age has hardened him. Brutal intelligence is etched on his face. His cruel, ambitious eyes show him to be a man with power, but never enough to satisfy. He built his rotten town out of poisonous rubble and rules it with an iron fist -- but he wants more. A smooth talker, decisive and ruthless, Carnegie is on a collision course with Eli...LEAD. SUBMIT STAR NAMES. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.
[REDRIDGE]
A thin-faced, violent man, Redridge is Carnegie's muscle, the leader of his crew of gunmen and enforcers. Redridge is extremeley loyal, but hes always watching for an opportunity to win Solara, for whom he lusts, as a prize from his boss..LEAD. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.
[CLAUDIA]
A pretty woman in her mid 30s, Claudia is Carnegie's mistress and Solara's mother, a blind woman who has been sightless since birth. Captured as a prize by Carnegie long ago, she tolerates her life as his sexual plaything, knowing that to refuse him anything will only mean torment for her child. Eventually, she settles the score...sptv050769 LEAD. PLEASE SUBMIT ALL ETHNICITIES.
[GEORGE]
An elderly man, George is bald, and squints through wire-framed glasses. A man who looks like the old man in Grant Wood's "American Gothic," George seems to be a bizarrely sweet old coot living on the outskirts of a ruined town with his wife, Martha. A little too normal to be truly sane, George is actually a survivalist with a cache of weapons -- while still maintaining the conventions of middle-class suburbia. Willing to have Eli and Solara in for tea and ladyfingers, George explodes into violent action when Carnegie's forces attack...
[MARTHA]
George's wife, sweet and seemingly dainty, with her gray hair tied into a neat bun, she looks like the old woman in Grant Wood's "American Gothic." She lives with George in their well-kept house on the outskirts of a ruined town, and has no qualms about using their weapons cache to defend herself...
[PROFESSOR LOMBARDI]
An older man in his 60s or 70s, professorial and academic, wise, intense, and tough-minded, he is the librarian of sorts, a keeper of lost history, who ends up helping Eli in his quest...CAMEO ROLE -- PLEASE SUBMIT WELL-KNOWN ACTORS FOR CAMEO
