Kako bi izgledali filmi, če bi bli casti narejeni po prvih željah/ocenah... :) nekateri bi bli predvsem zanimivi, če ne drugega :) OJ: "Aj vil bi bak!" |
1. Brokeback Mountain (2005)
There were a handful of other actors considered for the parts of Ledger and Gylenhaal, among them Mark Wahlberg, Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Hartnett, Colin Farrel and Billy Crudup. Though, none is more interesting than the consideration of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Would you believe it? Will Smith was an early choice in playing Neo, but he turned it down to make "Wild Wild West." He admitted to regretting it.
However, Will Smith wasn't the only choice to play superhero in this movie, George Clooney's name came up during casting.
Jim Carrey was the main choice that he even contributed jokes, including calling the lead character "Focker." Julia Stiles, was also a choice for the part of Teri Polo.
Director Oliver Stone's primary choice was none other than epic king Russell Crowe. Sean Connery was listed in the role of King Philip that went to Val Kilmer.
Nicolas Cage was the original choice to play John Constantine but backed out of the project.
They had Tom Hanks and Winona Ryder at hello, the roles of Jerry Maguire and Dorothy Boyd being originally written for them. It went to Cruise and Zellwegger, eventually.
Panic Room could've been Nicole Kidman's movie easily, if not for a knee injury suffered during "Moulin Rogue." The role eventually went to Jodie Foster.
The best role that landed on Jodie Foster's lap was that of Clarice Starling, which Michelle Pfeiffer rejected saying it was "too violent." Would she have won best actress if she had done it?
Bret Easton Ellis' Patrick Bateman was offered to numerous actors before Christian Bale landed the gig. Among the hopefuls were Johnny Depp, Billy Crudup, Ben Chaplin, Robert Sean Leonard, Johnathon Schaech, Jonny Lee Miller, and Jared Leto. Edward Norton (pictured) was a close call.
Kevin Kline was the original choice for Peter Pan and David Bowie was offered the role of Captain Hook which he turned down.
TRIVIA From IMDB: Robert Redford screen-tested with Candice Bergen for the part of Benjamin Braddock but was finally rejected by director Mike Nichols because Nichols did not believe Redford could persuasively project the underdog qualities necessary to the role. When he told this to Redford, the actor asked Nichols what he meant. "Well, let's put it this way," said Nichols, "Have you ever struck out with a girl?" "What do you mean?" asked Redford. "That's precisely my point," said Nichols.
The poster wouldn't have worked either.

Originally, a superstar pairing of Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, but McQueen dropped out of the project and was replaced by Robert Redford. Had he not, Redford would've had to find another name to call his film festival.
Lance Henriksen was a choice to play The Terminator. But O.J.?
Thanks, Larri.
Thanks, Larri.
Face/Off could've been bigger if the Ahnold/Sly tandem pushed through, but would the switching of faces vital to the story been convincing? John Woo didn't think so.
The role of President James Marshall was supposedly written for Kevin Costner. He said no and concentrated on "The Postman."
The casting of Star Wars is the stuff of legends. Kurt Russell (Han Solo), Cindy Williams (Princess Leia) and Robby Benson (Luke Skywalker), all screen tested and nearly got parts in the movie. The great Toshiro Mifune was considered as Obi-Wan. It could've been a very, very different Star Wars.
My thanks to NonFictionGuy for the suggestion.
