In 2008, Stasey was chosen to star in the movie adaptation of the teen novel, "Tomorrow, When the War Began" as the lead character Ellie Linton, a teenage girl who documents her time with a group of friends fighting the invasion of Australia. During 2008, Stasey was linked to the live action film of video game/comic series "Wonder Boy". However, it was shut down by Sega. Robin Morningstar revived the project as a CGI movie, but Stasey withdrew to be in the film adaptation "Tomorrow, When the War Began". Her CGI character, although with a new voice, retains her face. In December 2008, she appeared in the Christmas pantomime "Snow White" at Norwich Theatre Royal.
