Jack Champion, Owen Patrick Joyner, Grace Van Dien and Georgie Murphy Lead YA Romance ‘The One Before The One’ After Cast Switch

The YA romance ‘The One Before The One’ has finalized its lead cast, with Jack Champion (Avatar franchise), Owen Patrick Joyner (Final Destination: Bloodlines), Grace Van Dien (Stranger Things) and Georgie Murphy (Stumble) stepping into the main roles. The film, which Blue Fox Entertainment introduced at the Cannes market earlier this year, recently wrapped production in Austin, Texas. This casting update follows a switch from previously announced actors, bringing fresh star power to the project. Champion, known for his role in the blockbuster Avatar sequels, and Van Dien, recognized from Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things, are expected to draw significant attention from young audiences. Joyner and Murphy round out the ensemble with their own growing fan bases from popular genre projects. The Austin shoot location also highlights Texas’s continued appeal for film production. With production complete, the film is now entering post-production, and buyers will be watching closely to see how this new cast elevates the project’s market potential.
