Famous Movie Roles Actors Were Too Afraid To Take
video description
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 disagree with the seven minute mark of this clip - the idea that Lucas just took a little of this, a little of that and a dash of those movies and, presto, you have Star Wars Episode IV. that's a huge statement. It really diminishes the efforts this guy put into a series that has blossomed both from a creative and business standpoint.

Anyone turning down Superman returns was a good idea how is this even on the list shit most of these actors actually made great decisions shit if John Wayne had the balls to turn down the role of Genghis Khan he would of lived an extra 20 years instead of dying from cancer from the radiation of the film set they used in Nevada
