Alex of Venice

Mary Elizabeth Winstead ditetapkan sebagai pemain film ini pada tanggal 12 Juni. She says of the script "I immediately loved it. It was one of those things where I cried like 5 times when I first read it. I just felt really connected to the role and thought it was so beautifully written." Kemudian Messina melakukan pendekatan kepada Don Johnson agar bersedia bermain sebagai ayah Alex, Roger.
