Multi stim ca actori is cam .. “dive” si nu accepta ei sa joace-n orice porcarie de film, dar ce se intampla atunci cand “porcaria” aia de film devine o legenda-n BoxOffice?! Isi baga prostii ghearele-n gat, asta se intampla!
Ati putea sa imaginati pe altcineva-n rolul lu Neo in loc de Keanu?… gen .. Will Smith?! Nu?! Ei bine .. ati ramane surprinsi!
Priviti si chiar va rog sa va dati cu parerea!
Though Will Smith has had his fair share of acting in sci-fi thrillers, he turned down the role of Neo in the box office hit “The Matrix.” The actor, who opted to star in the movie flop, “Wild Wild West,” admits he couldn’t have pulled off the lead role.
He says, “You know, ‘The Matrix’ is a difficult concept to pitch. In the pitch, I just didn’t see it. I watched Keanu’s performance – and very rarely do I say this – but I would have messed it up.”
He showed off his fancy footwork in “Risky Business,” but Tom Cruise apparently declined the lead role (which went to Kevin Bacon) in “Footloose.” The actor has also passed on parts in “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” “Enemy of the State” and “Cold Mountain.”
Even though Molly Ringwald refused the lead role in “Some Kind of Wonderful” (thus ending her relationship with famed writer John Hughes) in order to branch away from being pigeonholed as a high school movie character, she turned down possible breakout roles as Vivian in “Pretty Woman” and the role of Molly in “Ghost.”
Alec Baldwin reportedly turned down the role of Richard Kimball in the movie version of the ’60s television hit, “The Fugitive” due to script problems. The role of the wrongfully accused doctor went to Harrison Ford.
Leonardo DiCaprio has wondered what would have happened had he chosen to play Dirk Diggler in “Boogie Nights” (the role eventually went to Mark Wahlberg) over his breakout role in “Titanic.” The actor told GQ, “‘Boogie Nights’ is a movie I loved and I wish I would’ve done.”
Warren Beatty was also writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson’s first choice to play the movie’s porn director. After Beatty turned it down, the role went to Burt Reynolds, who received a Golden Globe Award and an Oscar nomination for the flick.
Despite turning down a role in the 2000 remake of “Charlie’s Angels,” Angelia Jolie went on to play a gun-toting heroine in “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.”
Jolie explains, “With ‘Charlie’s Angels,’ I made my decision because: 1. I didn’t watch the original TV series and 2. I don’t get dressed up. Also, I’m probably not the best group person, so it didn’t really suit my personality.”
Michael Madsen was originally offered the part of hitman Vincent Vega in “Pulp Fiction,” a role that got John Travolta an Academy Award nomination for “Best Actor.” Madsen had to turn it down because he was stuck in rehearsals for 1994′s “Wyatt Earp,” a movie he has called “a big waste of time.”
Madonna almost got the role of the drug addicted Ginger McKenna in Martin Scorsese’s “Casino,” however lost the part at the last minute to Sharon Stone, who is said to have convinced the famed director to cast her instead.
Could you imagine Mel Gibson trading in his “Braveheart” woolen kilt for a skimpy Roman toga? Although a lot of women can, apparently Gibson couldn’t.
The Oscar-winning Australian reportedly turned down an offer to play the lead role in “Gladiator,” a role which landed Russell Crowe the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2001.
Freddie Prince Jr. has been a long-time fan of Spider-Man “because in the comics he and I looked exactly the same. He was a kid who didn’t fit in, then got this power and really didn’t fit in, but he did good with it.”
However when the actor was angling for the lead role of Peter Parker in the feature film, director Sam Raimi chose the less conventional Tobey Maguire to play Spidey.
Hollywood’s favorite wild child Drew Barrymore was offered the part of Nomi Malone in 1995′s “Showgirls,” but is said to have turned it down because she felt uncomfortable with the nudity displayed in the script.
The role went to “Saved by the Bell” actress Elizabeth Berkley, whose portrayal of the stripper earned her two Razzie Awards and quickly stalled her film career.
Jack Nicholson already had a booming career when he turned down the role of Michael Corleone in “The Godfather.” The actor believed the role, which went to Al Pacino, wouldn’t have been a good fit for him.
He once said, “I knew ‘The Godfather’ was going to be a great film, but at that time I believed Indians should play roles written for Indians and Italians should do the same.”
George Lucas was always set on having Carrie Fisher play Princess Leia in “Star Wars,” however the director is said to have had considered Jodie Foster as his second option in case things didn’t work out. Though Foster was only 15-years old at the time production started, Lucas was evidently impressed after seeing her in “Taxi Driver.”
Robert Redford is said to have turned down the role of Ben Braddock in 1967′s “The Graduate” because he didn’t feel he could project the right amount of innocence.
The actor reportedly liked the script and even went as far as doing a screen test, but both he and director Mike Nichols came to the decision that a more innocent-looking actor would be a better fit. The role went to Dustin Hoffman.
Tom Selleck was originally pursued by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas to play Indiana Jones in 1981′s “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” The actor screen-tested for the part, but had to turn down the role due to scheduling conflicts with his hit TV show “Magnum P.I.” The role eventually went to Harrison Ford.
Another famous role played by Harrison Ford was Han Solo in the 1977 sci-fi hit “Star Wars.” Christopher Walken was reportedly writer-director George Lucas’ second choice for the role. The actor has once said he has never turned down a movie role.
Former beauty queen Vanessa Williams had a chance at becoming the first African-American actress to win an Academy Award, however that privilege went to Halle Berry for her portrayal of a struggling single mother in “Monster’s Ball.” Williams turned down the part, as did Angela Bassett, who was a bit more vocal in her reasons why.
“I wasn’t going to be a prostitute on film,” explained Bassett. “I couldn’t do that because it’s such a stereotype about black women and sexuality.”
Apparently John Travolta wasn’t to fond of a box of chocolates. The actor turned down the title role in 1994′s “Forrest Gump,” a part that won Tom Hanks an Academy Award for Best Actor. Travolta once joked that he helped launch Hanks’ career for also rejecting the lead role in “Green Mile.”
“What you turn down can be a gift to someone else,” Travolta said. “There is enough to go around.”
Producers of the James Bond films reportedly first approached Cary Grant to play the role of 007. The actor is said to have declined the role because he didn’t want to be tied to a film series. The role eventually went to Sean Connery, who shot to superstar success with seven Bond films under his belt.
