What do you think the budgetary cut off is for producing a script with unknown/relatively unknown actors? For instance 'Chronicle' was made for $12 million but didn't have any big names attached. At what point would most studios go "okay, we need an A-lister"?

The real question here is how much of the budget you have already versus how much money you need to ask for. If you have $1 million to go shoot a film with no-name actors, you can do that. However if you need a chunk of change, it's going to be a lot easier to ask for that if you have a star. Then, secondly, you have to think about what kind of distribution you want. Better distribution calls for more star power.
