Fan Casting The Legend of Zara (2026)

Set in Columbus, Ohio, the film's plot follows Gary Nelson, a crafty 11-year old boy who lives in an apartment in the downtown part of Columbus with his single dad and younger sister Molly. Once a week on a Friday night, Gary and Molly would invite their friends (Tony Morgan, Angel Haayes, and Cindy Mindy) over to play a board game Gary created called "The Kingdom of Zara", which is set in an alternate version of the medieval times and revolves around five fantasy characters going on a quest to stop an evil warlock iguana named Warwiz from destroying the kingdom. But on one of those nights, Tony accidentally places a vortex card on the board, sucking all of the five players into the game. They'll have to finish the game, defeat Warwiz, and save Zara to get out and back home.
