I was thinking more in the age difference between Dunst and Smit-McPhee (not necessarily in the "polemic" issue of a 40 something Cumberbatch trying to seduce a teenage boy!).
Dunst was 13/14 when Smit-Phee born. When it was announced that Jennifer Jason Leigh would play BC's mother some people on social media were really angry at him because she is just 16 years older. They did not need to wait to see that she mostly played *his* mother when his character was a 10 year old.

I see what you mean! It's a similar issue here as it was with JJL though; the son character is shown at different ages. Peter is much younger in scenes when his father is alive and parents are together. So even if KD is young to have an early-20's age child, she is believable as the mother of a young teen.

We were right - he’s playing Peter. Still there is the mystery of what role the rest of the recently announced cast are playing. I'm now thinking that maybe the servants will have a more prominent role in the film and that Thomasin McKenzie and Frances Conroy will play the maid and the cook, respectively. If the updates of her Instagram account are really new material and not #TBT kind of stuff then McKenzie has brown hair right now so she is definitely not playing a young Kirsten Dunst. Also maybe the older Burbanks won't have a major role in the film.

The Old Lady and Gent? I think she is Frances Conroy. EDITED I saw the video again. Yep, I'm sure she is Frances Conroy.

And Peter Carroll?

ODT also believes the actors are Frances Conroy and Peter Carroll so this seems to confirm they both are playing the Burbank boys' parents.
The biggest mystery remains: Which character is Thomasin McKenzie playing? She by far is the least obvious cast member considering there is not a major role for a very young woman/female teenager in the book.

I woke up this morning convinced that BC has been taken away by aliens & everyone’s just too scared to say so. It’s the only explanation for why he hasn’t been seen this decade.

But we have seen him this decade and with his TPOTD look! Imagine if we hadn't that video! The shooting has been very secretive until now (a very remote set) and unluckily these two publicly filmed scenes doesn't feature him. I remember they said they will also shoot in an old abandoned hospital. Maybe we will see him there...

Ha! How do you know the aliens didn’t film that last decade and just released it for Sundance? You don’t know! I’m sticking with my abduction theory until I see him walking & talking, preferably in my own back yard. 😂

Weren't the parents dead before Phil's funeral? Or had they just moved somewhere else?
