Regal's next focus was the casting for the film.
The most important are the two main leads.
These roles were the foundation of the entire film.

The story would make or fall based on their performances.
Fortunately, Regal had already found one of the leads - Keanu Reeves - his sister's boyfriend.
Yes, he had been in contact with Keanu for the past couple of weeks, and he somehow managed to tap him into thinking about acting for real.
And luckily, Keanu will perfectly fit in for one of the leads.
So, despite his tendency to go over the top at times, a side effect of his theatre background, Regal was confident he could guide and get the best from him.
He is the director of the film.
