It's not clear to me what you mean by "change the cast member data".
But here are two suggestions.
1) Can you set up movie1 and movie2 to share an external cast file
which contains the "cast member data" to be changed? This way you
can have both movies link to the same external cast file, and
therefore, changing whatever cast member data in movie1 will change
the appropriate thing and have it set up for movie2.
2) When the movie starts (for example movie1), put whatever cast
member data you potentially want to change into a global. Then go
back and forth between movies 1 and 2, using and changing the data in
the global. Data stored in global variables is available across
movies.
