informal dialogs: この映画ねほんとに面白いし楽しいしいい作品だから！
どうして「ね」を「は」の代わりに使いますか。そうして「ほんと」は誤字ですか。
My working theory is that ほんと is an informal version of ほんとう and that ね can be used informally as the topic marker?
Also, in the following dialog:
夏子：映画何時？
カゼ：８時４０分からかな。
What is からかな? I imagine から is "from," but ive seen the phrase からかな in informal Japanese before in a response where "from" doesn't fit, so im wondering if it's a set phrase.

ね is not は。
この映画ね is a short version of この映画はね. A formal version is この映画は.
ね は、友達との会話で、（特に女性が）語尾につけることがあります。
Mainly women often use ね in the ending. It makes the sounds a little softer.
かな。means "maybe" and "I think" in this case.
から＝8時40分から。

In Japanese, there are formal Japanese and informal Japanese. Usually Japanese people use informal Japanese in conversations. So ほんとis informal Japanese. You can use in conversations. But if you write any sentences, you have to write ほんとう. Because we the character of ほんとう is 本当 that is read as ほんとう.
So ほんと is a kind of slang.
I don't know that you can understand my explanation.
