Wife From The Future
Project Overview
WIFE FROM THE FUTURE
Peter, a quiet and depressed loner, was just trying to go through life without any more disappointments
or issues. But when a mysterious woman in high-tech armor shows up out of nowhere, introducing herself
as his wife from another timeline, his plans to be left alone get quickly smashed to pieces.
Audition Submission Requirements:

NOTE:
This audition is for a 24-30 minute rough animatic pilot. The pilot will be used as part of a pitch bible. All the supporting characters have between 3-10 lines / 25-105 words in the pilot episode but will have many more episodes and many more lines as the show goes on. Some more than others. Also, some characters aren’t yet fully designed and are more open racially and may be reimagined more based on the actors who gain the role.
UPDATE: We are still going over all the auditions. We should have our choices by next week.

Baron works at the same bank as Peter. He treats all of his coworkers as if they all work beneath him.
He has a family history of successful people like his older brother, but he himself works at a bank.
Baron does, however, use his opportunities of making connections to try and rub elbows with celebrities.
As time goes on, Baron discovers part of Alice and Peter’s secret and becomes obsessed with exposing
them which puts him in many ways in opposition to Alice’s plans.

(to phone but also at Peter)
I am so sorry. We just have some VERY CLUMSY people who work here sometimes.
(back to schmoozing)
So… is it true you are shooting a film with Tom Cruise soon? Think I could meet him?
(leaning back in his chair)
It can’t be that hard of a password, right? I mean he’s not a smart man, so how difficult could it be? Probably like one two three or something.
(worried, quiet)
Okay… well, you're not supposed to be here so I’m just gonna have security come and…

(sad for Peter)
How are you doing over here?

Are they not coming? Did you want to order or are you going to keep waiting?
(trying to be helpful)
You make more than enough money, you should invite them to nicer places than this.
(taken aback)
GREGORY!

HEY! PETER!
So, how was your vacation? First one you’ve taken in a long time, so I hope you went somewhere fun and relaxing.
(smiling)
Vegas? You don’t strike me as the gambling type.
Well, alright then. Good. As long as you weren’t just staying home the whole time and got to live a little, I’m glad to hear it.
(over his shoulder to Peter)
Let me know if you need anything.

(talking about Peter behind his back)
Soooo... do you think he is going to say anything?... Or...
(deliberate)
No. Seems more like he’s just trying to ignore us. Us... his closest and best friends in the whole wide office…
You know, that sounds right. I actually knew you and Amy would get along. When we saw her social media profile, I figured she would be your type.

Daniel has worked at the company longer than Peter and has a few years over him in age but with his more optimistic and upbeat attitude, acts slightly younger than Peter.

(sarcastic)
I don’t know. This Peter creature is a silent and mysterious sort.
(deliberately talking loud enough for Peter to hear them)
I mean, if I didn’t see him typing, I would think he was a monk meditating: so quiet and stoic.
(smiling with raised eyebrow)
Come on man, look at him. Peter looks tired and worn out. I think things went raaaaather well. That’s my guess.

Perfect weather: suns out, cool breeze, and no chance of rain. Seriously, if you aren’t going into work right now, grab a loved one and head to the park. It’s gorgeous!

(giving Peter a warning quietly)
Listen... I have been married for about twenty years now, but I remember what our first fight was like. Trust me. It’s not that bad, and you’ll both get over it. Just go in there, apologize for whatever you need to, take some licks like a man, and forget about it. Okay?

Said there was a crazy and dangerous woman in your house?
(dry and unamused)
And... you said you got married recently?
