Jennifer Lorance isn’t that great an actress, though a better actress then Megan Fox to be sure. After all the one thing Lorance really has over Fox is an Oscar for best actress. So she could actually pull off an interesting April.
Jena Malone on the other hand could be a rather feisty version of April.
As for Casey I would say Chris Pratt or Sam Claflin could work
Chris Pratt is on the oldish side yes, but he has all the charm for Casey Jones
Sam Claflin is a British actor, but he does pull off an Amerian styled voice very well. And he does play characters that do have a sly charm to them, such as Finnick O’Dare in Hunger Games

Regardless of age, I don't want another glamour model, another actress cast to just look pretty in slow motion. That sorta casting is outdated and needs to be buried forever. It's a movie, not a swimsuit cover. I want someone who feels real and definitively owns the role in strong, intelligent, natural way. That's what the part needs.
So far, Judith Hoag has been my favorite on screen April. She was beautiful in a natural way with a down to earth personality. I could see her having a beer at the end of the day. Not in a "woo! party" sort of way, but a sit on a coach and chill after work way.
I'd be down for either Amy or Anne. Chris Pratt? YES, please!! I would not mind Hemsworth, either, if he could do a decent Brooklyn accent. And maybe darker hair.
