This project gets more and more exciting.
As far as a relatively "unknown" actress nabbing the much coveted role of Cherie, here's my take on it: The industry, which has been hard hit by the whole economic slump, has less and less work for actors, HUGELY in part due to reality television taking over so much air time. That equals less and less and less work out there for actors. My point being, a film audition, no matter how independent or major the project, is going to attract a lot of actors wanting to be in it and get work. That said, I'm SURE that the producers saw girls with fuller resumes than Cody's, but she must've had the right look/energy/musical talent that they were looking for, the "essence".
Also, remember that Cherie had never had an acting job before "Foxes", that was her break in movies, and she literally walked away with the movie with her performance.
Congrats to Cody!
