Juror#8 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Reading about folks who were the first to be offered a movie role, passed on the role, and who then later regretted the decision. Is the character so iconic that you can only see that actor playing the role or can you use a little revisionist history to imagine the role with another actor?: http://www.chacha.com/gallery/4620/which-stars-turned-down-legendary-roles?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=zergnet.com&utm_campaign=zergnet_32404 Jack Nicholson as Michael Corleone....hmmmmmm.......

Rubes Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've always been fascinated by these things, especially the Matrix ones. Will Smith would have been an interesting choice. Keanu is a horrible actor, but I'm not sure Will could effectively sell being an isolated computer hacker as much as Keanu. He has too much personality.

Juror#8 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 I've always been fascinated by these things, especially the Matrix ones. Will Smith would have been an interesting choice. Keanu is a horrible actor, but I'm not sure Will could effectively sell being an isolated computer hacker as much as Keanu. He has too much personality. Me too. Especially movies the scale and scope of "The Matrix." Envisioning a martial arts proficient Will Smith as Neo and a saturnine, engmatic Morpheus played by Sean Connery seems really odd. Imagining their career arc and the career arc of those who took the roles because the first choice turned them down is interesting too. Molly Ringwold, pretty woman? BTW, I never considered Will Smith a good actor until I took time to consider his entire performance history. He's farily versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
