Topher Grace, Mary Elizabeth Winstead – And Maybe You Too – Will Star In A New Body-Swapping Social Film
If you're sceptical about the idea of a "social film" made by Toshiba and Intel, in which the main character tackles their problems with the use of a Toshiba Portege Ultrabook, then feel free to join the club; you weren't the only one reminded of these Orange Wednesdays adverts.
But despite being centred around product placement, The Beauty Inside actually looks like a genuinely intriguing project. It will be directed by Like Crazy's Drake Doremus and tells the story of Alex, a man (sometimes) with an extremely rare condition that causes him to wake up every morning in a different body. The hook is that you – yes, you! – could even star in the film alongside Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Topher Grace, as auditions are currently being held on Facebook. From what it's possible to gather about the plot, Alex meets his dream girl but faces the difficulty of making her fall in love with him when he wears a different face every day. Will he be able to get her to see … the beauty inside?
It has the potential to become overly mushy and after-school special, but the idea of putting the audience into the film is certainly interesting. If you think you could be the next Alex, why not audition? Here's the trailer to help you decide.
