Logline: A dying man, volunteering for a new procedure, wakes up 19 years in the future in a handsome young "remodel" body…and with the
help of a quirky young woman, he seeks out his beloved wife who was supposed to wait for him.
Roles:
[BEN]
Lead Male (30 - 40)
One minute he's in the arms of his beloved wife, albeit dying of cancer, and the next he's 19 years in the future, in a ripped, male-model quality "remodel," but frustrated to learn his wife has legally cut off contact. Still, Ben's a guy who won't give up that easily.
In Discussions Ryan Gosling
[PAST BEN]
Supporting Male (30 - 40)
"Handsome but in the early stages of letting himself go. The kind of mid 30s that looks closer to 40."
[ABBY]
Supporting Female (20 - 30)
The "spunky" girl who meets Ben outside his group therapy and, taken with his story, helps him track down and crash Katherine's anniversary party though it'll turn out she's got ulterior motives, as Ben's now in the body of her late lover, whom she never got closure with.
[KAT/KATHERINE]
Supporting Female (30 - 60)
Ben's beloved wife, who promised she'd wait, but unforeseen circumstances-Owen-and two decades of life forced her into some tough, wise, but still painful choices.
[RAYMOND]
Supporting Female (50 - 60)
Katherine's (not so) new husband, they built their success together, "jovial, portly, larger than life in person" and, worst of all, a genuinely good guy.
[OWEN]
Supporting Male (18)
Ben's son, raised never knowing about him, is nevertheless a bit of a chip off the old block.
[SUSAN]
Supporting Female (50 - 60)
The hyper-allergic bartender and old family friend of Katherine's, who knows the guest list.
