Back in April, an open casting call was posted on Screenterrier to find two boys to star in Love Nina, Nick Hornby’s adaptation of Nina Stibbe's award-winning book Love, Nina for BBC One.
Filming starts this month on location in London with young newcomers Ethan Rouse and Harry Webster set to play brothers Joe and Max.
They will star alongside Faye Marsay (represented by Curtis Brown) in the title role of Nina, their nanny, suffering from the culture shock of moving to one of London’s most Bohemian streets from her home town in the East Midlands. Faye played Steph in feature film Pride, with many TV roles including Glue, My Mad Fat Diary, Fresh Meat, The White Queen and Game of Thrones.
Helena Bonham Carter will play Georgia, the boys' beautiful, forthright mother. Jason Watkins will play local author Malcolm Tanner and Josh McGuire will play Nunney, Nina’s on-off boyfriend.

Helena Bonham Carter will lead the cast of BBC One's new drama from About a Boy author Nick Hornby.
The author's adaptation of Nina Stibbe's book Love Nina will take Hollywood star Bonham Carter back to 1980s London in a story about family and friendship.
Love Nina is a fictionalised take on Stibbe's letters home to her sister after the young nanny moves away from Leicester.
Talking about his first TV drama, Hornby said: "Nina Stibbe's book Love Nina has already established itself as a much-loved piece of comic writing and I love it.

The series will be directed by Jessica Jones' Sj Clarkson, who previously worked with Carter in Toast.
