For the six-year-old AI girl named Alphie, who is the story's ultimate weapon, Director Edwards reflected during an interview, on casting its star ensemble. To find the young AI star, the team held an open casting call and discovered newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles, whom Edwards called, "A director's dream."
"We got tapes from hundreds of kids all around the world" Edwards explains. "The first person to audition was Madeleine, and she came in and was fantastic. After she left the room, I just looked at my assistant, and we both said, 'That's her.'" The director said he and everyone who saw Voyles' audition left them in tears. And every scene that they tested for was more heartbreaking than the next.
Adds Sturgill Simpson, who portrays Drew in The Creator; "The world is about to hear all about Madeleine Yuna Voyles. Madeleine is one of the most professional, hard-working, and talented actors out there, and she was 7 years old (when we filmed it). This shoot was not for the fainthearted. We were traveling extensively and working in tough environments, and Madeleine was there every step of the way. We filmed some of the final scenes of the movie in a quarry outside Bangkok in the sweltering heat, and Madeleine delivered this breathtaking performance, and everyone was just looking at each other like: 'Did you just see that?' The entire crew, including some battle-hardened technicians, had tears in their eyes."
Madeleine brings to her performances undeniable natural talent and professionalism. She shines in grounded performances bringing her precocious essence and vulnerability to the characters she portrays.
With an innate ability and a wisdom that exceeds the abilities of so many experienced actors, Madeleine's inherent talent solidifies her as a powerhouse newcomer in young Hollywood.
