7. The image is used in the article wiki-linked in the section title.
8. The image is significant in identifying the subject of the article, which is the film itself.
9. The image is used in the article namespace.
10. The image provides attribution to the source material, includes a copyright tag, and identifies the name of the article in which the image is used.
11. The use of the screenshot supports the content in the "Casting" section of the article.
