"Predator" (1987)
Initially: Jean-Claude Van Damm
Replacement: Kevin Peter Hall
Shortly before the breakthrough in Hollywood "Muscles from Brussels" Van Damm was only an ordinary actor who owns martial arts. He grabbed the "Vernik" and wanted to show his skills, starring from Arnie in the 100th militant under the start of Joel Silver. This project was subsequently turned into a Men's classic - "Predator".
On the set, he constantly pursued the Silver in attempts to impress his steep meals in the jump and fast blows a few inches from the head of the film crew. He led everything to the fact that the producer asked him to slow down the turnover and reminded that "a predator is not a kickboxer." In addition, Van Damme did not read the small font - he was hired to play an alien monster, and did not pull the testeron warrior fighting with the aliens.
Recall that the predator has become an icon of Sai-Faya and Horror, only when the Master of Special Effects Stan Winston subsequently took the case, but a careless company was engaged in a suit, which made a stupid creation with an ant head, more appropriate in the Thrash film of the 50s. Van Damm was inconvenient in this costume, he fogged that his face was hidden, and, more importantly, he could not show his corona techniques from kickboxing. Ultimately, he broke his head of someone else's.
This is how the original predator costume with Van Damm looked:
It became the last straw for the Silver, and Van Damm was fired. The filming of the film was suspended to save the monster image: Winston and Kevin Peter Hall were connected to business. So coincided that Schwarzenegger and Van Damm still appeared on one screen - however, after 25 years in the "Expendables 2".

At the stage of post-production, Jones has a dilemma: Morton's voice no longer approached, because her character in the process deviated from its initial version. Presumably, they quietly separated, and Jones attracted to the project Johansson. In the process of post-processing, they worked together on the revival of the faceless, but still the leading character in this truly unique love story. For the efforts of Morton called an assistant producer.
"Back to the Future" (1985)
Initially: Eric Stolz
Replacement: Michael Ja Fox

Stolz, despite the obvious talent and professionalism, completely "did not fall" into the image of the hero. According to Producer, "I did not laugh as I expected." After Tet-a-theta, with Stephen Spielberg, the authorities took a radical decision, and Stolz left the project, which was to become his "springboard" to glory.
Video films with gallets are even preserved:

"The Lord of the Rings: Brotherhood of Ring" (2001)
Initially: Stuart Townsend
Replacement: Viggo Mortensen
Irendian Stuart Townsende seemingly successfully broke through to the greater league in the 90s.

Stewart trained diligently and practiced with swords for two months, and a day before the filming, he was given a statement about the dismissal even without paying the time spent - they say, did not work sufficiently and broke the contract.
Later, Jackson admitted that it was originally worth taken to the role of Aragorn someone not so young, and at least 20 years old. And here they led Wiggo Mortensen, who immediately took off to the stars after many years in secondary roles.

"Apocalypse Today" (1979)
Initially: Harvey Keitel
Replacement: Martin Shin

Coppola was so fascinated by the young Harvey Kmitel in the "Evil Streets" of his friend Scorsera, which immediately began to convince the Kaitel to play in the Apocalypse. After 6 weeks of filming, Kaitel went to the opponent: an active actor was suppressed and felt uncomfortable in a few "contemplative", "passive" role - and the case ended with dismissal.

And here the director Ridley Scott ruined Gordiyev Knot - it was decided to follow the role of Spacei with another actor, at which Scott's choice, Christopher Flame, was initially fell. The film has successfully cleaned up, let it cost additional millions.

For Inderators, the actor to unite with a clever master of his case sounded very tempting, however, it was one significant "but". Everyone (except for some reason, Peter Jackson) was obvious that the Gosling was not suitable for this role: in his 20 with the "tail", the actor had to play a gloomy father-loser under 40.
Gosling felt not in his plate already in early readings, but Jackson convinced him that special effects and makeup all disguise. But still Ryan, who knows how to enter the role, discovered that to gain 20 pounds and repel the beard to he could not.

Initially, the central role was a lackless piece of James Pürfoy, a promising actor, an impressive Mark Anthony in the TV series "Rome".
6 weeks of filming passed, and the news was killed - Purf was left the project. Different reasons were made: the press reported that Purrf was uncomfortable to play mask; Producer Joel Silver said that all "because of the voices", they say, the Purf could not sound quite threatening; Prewoy himself stated that these were only "creative disagreements that were cut to unacceptable sizes."
Fortunately, since V has always been hidden by a mask, the scene with the Puirf was left in the film, but they voiced "over". Wachovsky's scripts and producers guessed to invite their old friend from the "Matrix" of Hugo Wiving, who, so coincided, was also a powerful trained voice. Hugo tried on the role of V and played so that no one could guessed that two people actually hid behind the mask.
"Aliens" (1986)
Initially: James Rear
Replacement: Michael Bean
Cameron Sai Fi Classic - a recognized cinema masterpiece and has a sign reputation. However, this picture was saturated with problems during the creation, and one of the biggest problems was the replacement of the main character in the middle of the shooting.
James Rear brilliantly played in the pictures of Walter Hill, but he really noticed him only after the "Cotton club" "Coppolas. The appearance of this promising actor in larger roles remained only a matter of time. Hill, his mentor and at the same time producer of the line "Aliens", gave him the main role of the painting - an outstanding Croral Hicks.
After several scenes runs with "Morpei", the Rear was shot only a couple of weeks, and then he was fired personally by Cameron. Over the years, different rumors emerged: some claimed that Remar lasted some "sensitivity" in scenes with Ripley and Nut, others said that he had to leave because of the "important family problems", the classical excuse about "creative disagreements" came up .
Recently, the truthful truth turns out to be more fascinating: the Rear admitted that in the UK, where the shooting was held, he was in drugs, because of what he lost his job. Remar had to be harder: he was forced to leave the country, but, more importantly, he destroyed his long relations with Hill. Only after 21 years later they were able to reconcile and work together again.
As a result, Cameron took the role of Hicks a verified actor Michael Bina, who was not only on a short foot with an uncompromising director, but also passed military training for the role in the Terminator. And now it's incredibly difficult to imagine someone else in his place.
