I'm glad Chris Evans and Chris Pratt both signed on with Marvel. When the first Captain America film came out, Evans was the only reason I watched it. Everybody knows him as Cap now but the roles he's taken that are nothing like Cap show what a great actor he is. Cap has the potential to be as off-putting as Superman but Evans brings a humanity to the role that makes it relatable for the rest of us. Also, I don't know why, I'm just a really big fan of Chris Evans.
I though Chris Evans' reason would be because he already played a Marvel hero- the Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" films, and the failure of that might have turned him off doing hero roles in the future.
He gave me the best advice ever. 'I'd tell myself shh!' I do that now to slow my brain down and stop it racing away. Close my eyes sit for a minute and just tell it shh.
It's always funny that when actors pass on a role that wins multiple awards & oscars, they try to take a role that comes up again just like it & the movie usually bombs lol
what about Will Smith turning down the Matrix movies because he just could not understand the story? I have always thought that was an interesting piece of movie history. If I remember correctly Jet Li was also have a part in the series but did not because of scheduling conflicts.
cre8trbotls lol. well we all know Will Smith is not the brightest bulb in the pack just look at what he is doing to his kids for god sakes.. plus he's gay, which I don't really care but he lies about it. he's a pussy.
Why are you guys complaining? Mark Wahlberg is a horrible actor, Brokeback Mountain wouldn't have been a good movie with him as the lead. Jake did an amazing job, and I'm glad Mark turned it down.
Denzel Washington wasn't officially considered for Seven. David Fincher have said in a few interviews that when he started developing the script, his agent asked him "What about Morgan Freeman for the role?", he responded "Are you kidding me?, if we send him this script, he would never take me serious --", the agent quickly interrumpted by saying "I already sent him the script and he's all for it", which draw a big smile on Fincher's face.
TheSuperNats are you kidding me. There is a reason they call it hollyweird. They try to get actors out of their sexual comfort zone. They hire gay actors to play straight romes and hire straight actors to play straight roles.
Brokeback Mountain was a head of its time. Even though it came out not that long ago it would have been a difficult role for any actor to take on at the time. It was made fun of a lot. I was really happy to see Jake gyllenhaal and Heath ledger in the movie. They both were amazing and it was beautifully done.
As popular and iconic the Star Wars franchise is, even today the movies are still looked down upon by many japanese who are prideful about their culture. So is no surprise Toshiro Mifune refused those roles, and I don't think he had any regrets about it. Even some anime series are heavily looked down upon by conservative japanese for diminishing the Samurai legacy, so to have an american director trying to take influence in that legacy for "some sci-fi movie" that had the potential of looking cheap was simply insulting at that time. I have a lot of respect for the movies, but is easy to understand why A-level actors such as Toshiro Mifune would refuse such roles with ease, despite the money loss.
Megumi Yoshioka I think Mifune is one of the finest actors of the 20th Century. Throne of Blood is THE best film adaptation of The Scottish Play. Besides, why would he want to make a remake of a film (The Hidden Fortress) in which he already acted?
I just heard that Russell Crowe passed on the lord of the rings trilogy costing him hundreds of millions. Who wanted jude law as superman? I can't picture that at all!?!?!?
Josh Hartnett really made a mistake! Jennifer Hudson it's okay that you didn't want to gain the weight for the movie, its so hard to lose it as you already know!! Chris Evans!!!!
It's not the fact that Marky Mark didn't wanna make out with a dude that makes home homophobic. It's the fact that he said the script made him feel "creeped out" that makes him homophobic.
Grant Greider Well yea, how would you feel making out with someone of the same sex as you knowing you're not gay? Creeped out duhh its not in your comfort zone, so its weird to him. Doesn't make him a homophobe because of it
of course it does, isn't what acting supost to be? play a character different of yourself? Or when he plays a gangster whose kill's ppl he's in his confort zone?
disagreeing with gay "choices" doesn't make u a homophobic but the reasons why u did it may describes u as one and also why would someone care about others beliefs especially when those beliefs are the reason of why society rejects you?
no it doesn't it just makes him straight. The script involved him kissing another guy and simulating sex with another man, reading that would make the majority of straight men feel creeped out. it's no different than denzel turning down seven because it made him uncomfortable.
Don't forget Double Indemnity (1944), where the role of Walter Neff was turned down by Alan Ladd, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Gregory Peck, Fredric March and even George Raft! Fred MacMurray (who at first thought would seem to be entirely unsuited for the role) was reluctant too and told director Billy Wilder "You're making the mistake of your life!" Playing a serious role required acting, he said, "and I can't do it." Wilder kept at him until he finally agreed to play the part. Later, MacMurray said "I never dreamed it would be the best picture I ever made!" and worked with Wilder again in an off-character role in the Oscar-winning film The Apartment (1960).
It wasn't just Jude Law and Josh Hartnett who both turned down the role of Superman. Ashton Kutcher also turned down the role due to scheduling conflicts with 'That '70s Show' and the fear of both typecasting and the Superman Curse. David Boreanaz auditioned for the role as well but he too turned it down due to obligations to 'Angel'. And they weren't going for 'Superman Returns' - they were going for a different kind of Superman movie that sacrilegiously disregarded the original DC Comics mythology. In that script Krypton didn't explode and instead experienced civil war; meanwhile as Jor-El was going to be sentenced to prison he sent baby Kal-El on a rocket to Earth to fulfill a prophecy. That movie, as any superhero geek here I hope would remember was titled 'Superman: Flyby'. The script was written by J.J. Abrams who would later go on to reinvent 'Star Trek' and 'Star Wars'. And as we hate to admit it, that movie was gonna look terrible if it was ever made!
Next up: Actors who SHOULD have turned down roles. Harrison Ford in Indy 4, Arnold in Terminator: Genisys, Hayden Christensen in Star Wars: Episode 2 and 3, Shia LeBouf in... everything. Lol.
Me: "Nope, can't think of anyone who could possibly beat Hopkins' "Hannibal Lecter " Looper: "Bla bla bla Jeremy Irons bla bla" Me: "Holy shit!" Hopkins nailed it, no doubt. But this was the character Irons was born to play. Damn, I'm actually pissed off now, knowing we never got to see it.
Timmy Nguyen because they didn't star in any marvel or dc. superhero movies. in my opinion a good actor or actress that appears In a superhero movie are basically selling out
Justin Lopez because they're pigenhold for the rest of their career. like Elizabeth Olsen for example after I saw her in the independent movie Martha Marcy may Marlene I expected to see her in my good independent movies like that but just as I expected she was casted in a marvel movie. now people see her as scarlet witch.
The silence of the lambs comment is interesting because that makes three totally different stories I've heard about how Jodi Foster got the part the only constant was the producer envisioned Michelle Pfeiffer for the part.
I read in several places that Clark Gable was initially scared of the role of Rhett Butler in Gone with the Wind, but wound up taking it after getting a pretty good bonus for 1938.
Ian McKellen was offered the role of Dumbledore after the original actor died after Chamber of Secrets. he turned it down, partially because he felt it wasn't right to take over for an actor who disapproved of him, and partially because he had already portrayed Gandalf, and he didn't want to take on another massively iconic role.
@@ingriddubbel8468 ~ I agree. Pfeiffer would've been all wrong for it. And honestly, I don't think Michelle had the acting prowess to pull it off. She has no intensity factor. Jodie had a strange combination of fear, and curiosity to do Clarice well. And what this doesn't tell you is Jodie REALLY wanted this part... So they cast the right "Starling"...
@@Deborahtunes Well,I think most of Clarice's intensity is the result of her interactions of Hannibal. Anthony Hopkins was so amazing,he made every other actor around him better because you could understand why they fear him so much.
@@tiaaaron3278 ~ Hopkins' Hannibal character would get everyone on a higher level of acting. I've seen other movies of Foster's, prior to "Silence Of The Lambs", and she had that same intensity in those roles as well. I believe she just has a higher caliber of acting ability then Pfeiffer. She's not afraid of strange, or frightening roles. I've never seen M.P. take on any significant, challenging movie roles that would set her apart from other actresses...
@@Deborahtunes I don't think JD could have played the role of Catwoman as well as Pfeiffer did. And Pfeiffer did it on her own unlike Jodie Foster eho always needed to rely on other actors back when she was young.
Zeno , Exactly, Denzel was creeped out by the subject matter and it was a creepy movie. Actors have the right to turn down parts. James Caan refused to do Mash and other movies.
I heard that Reese Witherspoon was originally going to play the wife in "Gone Girl". Witherspoon was co-executive producer on the film, and originally wanted to play the role herself. But during auditions, she had real trouble being convincing in the role, and felt that she wasn't right for it. So she stayed on as executive producer only, and the role went to Rosamund Pike instead.
I mean a lot of times when actors play now lgbt role as gay bi trans or drag they actually end up having awards getting lot of roles portraying the character really well and end up being really famous Jake Gyllenhal Jared Leto James Franco Leonardo Di Caprio Tom Hanks Angelina Jolie Sean Penn Natalie Portman Dwyane Johnson Al Pacino Whoopi Goldberg Queen Latifah Tommy Lee Jones Hillary Swank Selma Hayak Julianne Moore Charlie Theron Heath Ledger Clinton firth Daniel Radcliffe Dane Dehaan Dave Franco Matt Bomer
I didn't know about the Reagan project. That's a shame. It never occurred to me until I found out about it now, but yeah, I would be curious to see Ferrell play Reagan. I think he fits very well in the role.
I know exactly how Chris Evans feels. I turned down GE 5 times because I didn't think I could help people over the phone. I eventually faced my fears and took the job. It turned out to be the best place I ever worked... I met some of my best friends and although it's been 17 years since my first day and 3 years since my last stint there I have all the ones I could find that are on Facebook in my friends list.
Yeah no, Chris Pratt actually really wanted to play the part. It was James Gunn who was hesitant about casting him until he was tricked into watching Pratt audition, on which he said he knew within 10 seconds of him auditioning, he knew he was right for the role.
You should add Sigourney Weaver to the list for turning down the lead role in The Piano. Holly Hunter won the Oscar for best actress in The Piano. Apparently Weaver's agent convinced her to turn down the role because director Jane Campion was largely unknown at the time.
Has George Lucas said "New Hope" was influenced by "The Searchers?" The fact that both movies feature two men trying to free a woman from captivity doesn't seem like much of a parallel. It was the Star Wars prequels that showed a "Searchers" influence, like the scene where Anakin tries to rescue his mother from the Sandpeople. And the ending of "Revenge Of the Sith" was a virtual replay of the ending of "The Searchers."
Hartnett turned down super hero roles because it would hurt his career , What career ? As for Pitt turning down a role as a slave master is a good idea at this point at his career since its sliding down hill . Evans played super heroes in what 2-3 other films ? I don't blame him for being type casted but good choice for Cap and Pfeffer was too old to play the part in Silence of the Lambs though she was a sexy Cat woman .
What is it with Silence of The Lambs!? I'm sorry but personally I'm thinking it is just a movie, yes I know real life events do exist and of course it's personal choice but it's not as if the film is cursed, it's just an INCREDIBLE honest portrayal of some life events that are similar. Antony Hopkins is simply Mindblowing, incredible. The fact people got scared is surely a sign it's simply Superme acting. And Shame on Mark Whalberg. Sorry but I hope he's not serious by saying the scripts "Creepy," that's IGNORANT. Ultimately no offence the actors who did end up doing the movie are Excellent and Jeff Goldblum was Super in The Fly, just wish ending wasn't so tragic
1. Oh well. 'Silence of the Lambs' won Hopkins & Fonda Oscarso; so they're probably thanking those actors (notably, Pfeifer & Irons). Jude Law❤️ - It's fine how things turned out. He's playing Dumbledore (Youngledore) 🌈 now anyway. Bette Midler - I'm glad how things turned out. Sister Act❤️ Denzel - I'm glad how things turned out. Morgan Freeman❤️
You have failed to mention that perhaps an actor turns down a role because they have absolutely nothing in common with the character they're asked to play. A great actor at least needs to find something anything they can play off. If they know it will suck if they say yes, why would they do that to themselves and the audience.
Foster was actually never face to face with Hopkins on set. They shot at different times and didn’t even cross paths until well after shooting was over.
Michelle Pfeiffer was asking $2 Million Dollars to star in "Silence of the Lambs". Orion (which was struggling financially ) did want to pay her that much . That is the real story!
Whenever I see the scene in Guardians where Gamorra and Star Lord are fighting on the ground I just think about how much it must've hurt when she broke his rib during that scene.
Christopher Walken as 'Bad Lieutenant' - thankfully Chris told Abel to go with Harvey Keitel for that one. And Kim Basinger in Boxing Helena - would've been interesting, or maybe not?
Josh Hartnett dodged a bullet by turning down Superman Returns. Yeah he messed up by turning down Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy but hey, he's in Penny Dreadful, that's a good show.
there are a bazillion actors imaginable in the role of Captain America. It's the most blank character. A butch good guy... let's see... Chris Pine, Brad Pitt, Chris Pratt, Ryan Gosling, Zack Efron, Jeremy Renner, Patrick Wilson, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, any of the Hemsworth brothers, Timothy Olyphant, Alexander Skarsgard ... the list goes on and on -.-
In the beginning of the video you said people are afraid of zombies..I think with all the zombie movies that's ever been made its safe to say if your still afraid of zombies you won't survive if it ever happened. This may not be the case for some people but as long as zombies don't run I'll be fine...if they go full on 28 days later I may need to be more scared..but all you need is a resilient weapon like a aluminum bat or steel bat or wood bat.

Which actor on this list surprised you the most?
Looper people like you wont understand that his samurai pride is more important then paper, he did the right thing ditching him like that.
Looper is this dash star?
only thing that surprised me was Tim and Eric at the end. Nice!
jude law.
Awesome show!
Great job!!!

I though Chris Evans' reason would be because he already played a Marvel hero- the Human Torch in the "Fantastic Four" films, and the failure of that might have turned him off doing hero roles in the future.
Captain America and Superman always seemed to me as two of the more relatable superheroes. Definitely more relatable than Iron Man and Batman.
He gave me the best advice ever. 'I'd tell myself shh!' I do that now to slow my brain down and stop it racing away. Close my eyes sit for a minute and just tell it shh.
He was awesome in The Iceman as a violent contract killer.
It's always funny that when actors pass on a role that wins multiple awards & oscars, they try to take a role that comes up again just like it & the movie usually bombs lol
I think we all do this. It's just like giving unwanted advice; You can't change the past so you try to re-write it.
Jude Law as Superman?! That is such an odd casting choice. I think he'd be a brilliant Lex Luthor tho.
MoonStar757 I can see him as joker though marvel lol
He would make a great Luthor
He will be great as The Riddler.
couldn't picture Mark playing in Brokeback mountain plus Jake did an excellent job I really like that movie
Jazzy Wynn true. I was happy to see Jake and Heath in that movie. They really did an amazing job.
Mark was too old.
Kevin Longman - Apparently the directors who wanted him didn’t agree with your comment.
Truth Sayer Well apparently somebody did as he did not get the part!!
Jazzy Wynn absolutely not! He's not subtle enough to be Jack Twist
what about Will Smith turning down the Matrix movies because he just could not understand the story? I have always thought that was an interesting piece of movie history. If I remember correctly Jet Li was also have a part in the series but did not because of scheduling conflicts.
cre8trbotls lol. well we all know Will Smith is not the brightest bulb in the pack just look at what he is doing to his kids for god sakes.. plus he's gay, which I don't really care but he lies about it. he's a pussy.
cre8trbotls I'm glad Will Smith didn't take that role, he would've fucked it all up. I Fuckin hate Will Smith.
"Famous Movie Roles Actors Were Too Afraid To Take" that story doesn't relate to the context of the video at all.
will smith would've been awesome in matrix
even tho i Love keanu reeves as Neo and in everything, i would have like to see the alternate version with will smith
Why are you guys complaining? Mark Wahlberg is a horrible actor, Brokeback Mountain wouldn't have been a good movie with him as the lead. Jake did an amazing job, and I'm glad Mark turned it down.
Fully agree, he is an aweful horrible actor. I'm surprised he was even considered for the role.
lol
I cant picture Mark being a bottom, if he plays gay, he suits being a top
you can't do any better
you can't do any better either
Denzel Washington wasn't officially considered for Seven.

Mark Walhberg is not a good enough actor to be considered for Brokeback mountain
TheSuperNats are you kidding me. There is a reason they call it hollyweird. They try to get actors out of their sexual comfort zone. They hire gay actors to play straight romes and hire straight actors to play straight roles.
you're not good enough
No, he's not hot enough, in my opinion.
agree completely He's just not good enough.
TheSuperNats true that, let's be real jake was amazing fuck mark who cares. Would have been so much worse with him.
Brokeback Mountain was a head of its time. Even though it came out not that long ago it would have been a difficult role for any actor to take on at the time. It was made fun of a lot.

I have a lot of respect for the movies, but is easy to understand why A-level actors such as Toshiro Mifune would refuse such roles with ease, despite the money loss.
I think it would have been really cool to have a Japanese Obi Wan to pay homage to the culture the movie borrows from.
Megumi Yoshioka
I think Mifune is one of the finest actors of the 20th Century. Throne of Blood is THE best film adaptation of The Scottish Play.
Besides, why would he want to make a remake of a film
(The Hidden Fortress) in which he already acted?
Ah, no. Japanese have a fetish with Star Wars actually. Even as early as 1979 it influenced an anime franchise.
I just heard that Russell Crowe passed on the lord of the rings trilogy costing him hundreds of millions.
Who wanted jude law as superman? I can't picture that at all!?!?!?
Mark Wahlberg turned downed Brokeback Mountain and then does two moronic movies with a stuffed bear named Ted? Oh yes, good choice Mark.
Okay but jake gyllenhal was made for that role! I couldn't imagine anyone else playing it.
Wahlberg doesn't have the chops to be convincing in Brokeback Mountain
RD S in your opinion, imo he’s a better actor than Jackson r the late Heath any day of the week
@@JenniferMannette 😂😂😂
Chris Evans is perfect for Captain America. He has been amazing, no one could play the role like Chris Evans plays it.
Mark? Mark from Boston? You surprised he didnt take Brokeback Mountain
Hamar Fox Stfu

Too sexy for my shirrrrrrt . LOL

Uhm superman returns wasn't even good n it flopped

PikachuchuTrain oh shut up hayden is anakin skywalker fuck off y have right to decide who deserves a role
Da-vid Cargill Hayden only got the part because Leonardo DiCaprio turned it down
I didn't say he should turn down Terminator. I said Terminator: Genisys. Pretty huge difference. ;-)
Jared Leto as Joker
Also Reese Witherspoon refused to play the role of Marla Singer in Fight Club because she thought the role was too dark
Me: "Nope, can't think of anyone who could possibly beat Hopkins' "Hannibal Lecter "
Looper: "Bla bla bla Jeremy Irons bla bla"
Me: "Holy shit!"
Hopkins nailed it, no doubt. But this was the character Irons was born to play. Damn, I'm actually pissed off now, knowing we never got to see it.
kudos to Josh Hartnett and Jude law for not selling out
Lee Lee what do you mean they didn't sell out?
Timmy Nguyen because they didn't star in any marvel or dc. superhero movies. in my opinion a good actor or actress that appears In a superhero movie are basically selling out
Timmy Nguyen nothing against those movies I'm just not a big fan of them.
Justin Lopez because they're pigenhold for the rest of their career. like Elizabeth Olsen for example after I saw her in the independent movie Martha Marcy may Marlene I expected to see her in my good independent movies like that but just as I expected she was casted in a marvel movie. now people see her as scarlet witch.
So theyre a sellout because people remember them for their most iconic roles? I guess Elijah Wood is a sellout for playing Frodo aswell then?
Sucks for Wahlberg. Brokeback mountain is awesome.
For homophobic people watching this movie is very painful hehe.
Angry Bird moron do u know wat tht word means
You obviously don't.
Too gay too weird. I dont know why anybody would wanna be in that movie unless they were desperate for a role
Jacob Phinney if you go to school more often maybe you'll know one day.
What about Johnny Depp turning down Speed & Face/Off & Will Smith turning down The Matrix
I am just glad Keanu got back on top.
D Washington said no to 7 because it was too dark but yet he was in the movie The Bone Collector. Like that wasn't dark.
Not as dark as 7.
TBC came out four years after 7 so Denzel Washington probably got braver.
There are lots of stories around that have Denzel W. being considered for the role but never getting an offer because Morgan F. had already said yes.
Christopher Reeve has always been my favorite Superman.
VERY INFORMATIVE!!!
Of course Mark turned done that role. I'm not surprised.

I didn't know about the Reagan project. That's a shame. It never occurred to me until I found out about it now, but yeah, I would be curious to see Ferrell play Reagan. I think he fits very well in the role.
"What's in the box???" "It's a bunch of balloons."
The Fly on this list deserves a like if for no other reason the movie is amazing.
I know exactly how Chris Evans feels. I turned down GE 5 times because I didn't think I could help people over the phone. I eventually faced my fears and took the job. It turned out to be the best place I ever worked... I met some of my best friends and although it's been 17 years since my first day and 3 years since my last stint there I have all the ones I could find that are on Facebook in my friends list.
As much as I love foster in silence of the lambs I’d liked to have seen what Michelle phiefer could have brought to the role she’s so talented as well
As a huuuuuuge fan of superheros.. if Marvel approached me for a project, I'd probably decline out of fear, too. Terrified of letting fans down.
Yeah no, Chris Pratt actually really wanted to play the part. It was James Gunn who was hesitant about casting him until he was tricked into watching Pratt audition, on which he said he knew within 10 seconds of him auditioning, he knew he was right for the role.
4:44
Joker and mysterio as gay partner before they become villains
chris evans is the best cpt. america!!!!
I think in Angel Heart the own director was so afraid of Robert DeNiro playing the devil that he let him direct his own scenes, wow !
9:51 pratt faced his fears and won the hearts of guardians fans everywhere...... until infinity war
"An Englishmen should not play a guy that stands for the American way.." If only Henry Cavill had that much decency..
Robert Flores oh shut up cavil is awesome
Robert Flores A Brit was Superman??
thank god he doesn't.
did you see his abs ......
i am getting off topic
Yes. Henry Cavill is British.
Dominic West from "The wire" turned down Game of Thrones
As did Jennifer Ehle, the original Catelyn Stark. She quit after the show got picked up and her scenes were re-shot with Michelle Fairley.
You should add Sigourney Weaver to the list for turning down the lead role in The Piano.
Holly Hunter won the Oscar for best actress in The Piano. Apparently Weaver's agent
convinced her to turn down the role because director Jane Campion was largely
unknown at the time.
Toshiro Mufune in _A New Hope_ would've been a really nice nod to Akira Kurasawa and the impact his films have had in twentieth century cinema
love ya Loops!
The screenplay for "Sister Act" that Bette Midler was shown was not the film that was made. In fact the film was being re-written as it was shooting!
THAT LUCILLE BLUTH MOMENT!!!!
Things worked out perfectly for the audience. They got the perfect actors
Has George Lucas said "New Hope" was influenced by "The Searchers?" The fact that both movies feature two men trying to free a woman from captivity doesn't seem like much of a parallel. It was the Star Wars prequels that showed a "Searchers" influence, like the scene where Anakin tries to rescue his mother from the Sandpeople. And the ending of "Revenge Of the Sith" was a virtual replay of the ending of "The Searchers."
Yes he has, and the scene where Luke comes back to find his aunt & uncle killed is lifted directly from The Searchers.
i love chris evans so much.
Cute ending... :)
Hartnett turned down super hero roles because it would hurt his career , What career ? As for Pitt turning down a role as a slave master is a good idea at this point at his career since its sliding down hill . Evans played super heroes in what 2-3 other films ? I don't blame him for being type casted but good choice for Cap and Pfeffer was too old to play the part in Silence of the Lambs though she was a sexy Cat woman .
thank god Chris Evans is Captain America
What is it with Silence of The Lambs!? I'm sorry but personally I'm thinking it is just a movie, yes I know real life events do exist and of course it's personal choice but it's not as if the film is cursed, it's just an INCREDIBLE honest portrayal of some life events that are similar. Antony Hopkins is simply Mindblowing, incredible. The fact people got scared is surely a sign it's simply Superme acting. And Shame on Mark Whalberg. Sorry but I hope he's not serious by saying the scripts "Creepy," that's IGNORANT. Ultimately no offence the actors who did end up doing the movie are Excellent and Jeff Goldblum was Super in The Fly, just wish ending wasn't so tragic
1. Oh well. 'Silence of the Lambs' won Hopkins & Fonda Oscarso; so they're probably thanking those actors (notably, Pfeifer & Irons).
Jude Law❤️ - It's fine how things turned out. He's playing Dumbledore (Youngledore) 🌈 now anyway.
Bette Midler - I'm glad how things turned out. Sister Act❤️
Denzel - I'm glad how things turned out. Morgan Freeman❤️
+Fantastic Beasts - Jodie Foster played the role and won the Oscar, not Jane Fonda!
Adam Sandler deserved an oscar nomination fir Reign Over Me. It was a great film and he was surprisingly great in it.
You have failed to mention that perhaps an actor turns down a role because they have absolutely nothing in common with the character they're asked to play. A great actor at least needs to find something anything they can play off. If they know it will suck if they say yes, why would they do that to themselves and the audience.
I always thought Superman would be in the list. It's because of Superman curse. No wonder why Amy Adams wasn't nominated for an Oscars last year.
Timmy Nguyen Apparently the Superman curse only affects actors whose last name are Reeve or Reeves.
So John, Lithgow of the fly! :D
Jude Law as Superman. NO!
Foster was actually never face to face with Hopkins on set. They shot at different times and didn’t even cross paths until well after shooting was over.
Liked, subscribed, activated, notifications, NETFLIX "Gems" are GREAT! thanks, Godspeed David G. Washington State.
You missed Frankenstein for A New Hope.
Tarkin and Vader's relationship is straight from their previous films together.
Middler is afraid "playing a nun" will offend fans, but her social media hate for anyone not exactly like her doesn't? Weird.
I like more of those actors who rejected roles. But let's be real, we wouldn't change any cast for these great movies!
Michelle Pfeiffer was asking $2 Million Dollars to star in "Silence of the Lambs". Orion (which was struggling financially ) did want to pay her that much . That is the real story!
I would be interested see Jeremy Irons take on Hannibal Lecter.
I'm glad pfeiffer turned down silence of the lambs. Foster was perfect
The Superman movie was superb
Whenever I see the scene in Guardians where Gamorra and Star Lord are fighting on the ground I just think about how much it must've hurt when she broke his rib during that scene.
Jude Law should play James Bond if given the chance!!!
Jude Law for Superman at about 5'11" would've been weird
Christopher Walken as 'Bad Lieutenant' - thankfully Chris told Abel to go with Harvey Keitel for that one. And Kim Basinger in Boxing Helena - would've been interesting, or maybe not?
Denzel could make a shtty picture look good.
NO! Normal people are not afraid of zombies, because normal people know zombies are not real.
Josh Hartnett dodged a bullet by turning down Superman Returns. Yeah he messed up by turning down Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy but hey, he's in Penny Dreadful, that's a good show.
there are a bazillion actors imaginable in the role of Captain America. It's the most blank character. A butch good guy... let's see... Chris Pine, Brad Pitt, Chris Pratt, Ryan Gosling, Zack Efron, Jeremy Renner, Patrick Wilson, Channing Tatum, Bradley Cooper, any of the Hemsworth brothers, Timothy Olyphant, Alexander Skarsgard ... the list goes on and on -.-
In the beginning of the video you said people are afraid of zombies..I think with all the zombie movies that's ever been made its safe to say if your still afraid of zombies you won't survive if it ever happened. This may not be the case for some people but as long as zombies don't run I'll be fine...if they go full on 28 days later I may need to be more scared..but all you need is a resilient weapon like a aluminum bat or steel bat or wood bat.
