Will Smith
Protected: "Matrix"
To: "Wild, Wild West"
Will Smith was on the wave of success after "people in black" and "Independence Day", when the Vachovski brothers offered him the role of neo in the "matrix". He refused, later declared that he was not confident that ambitious special effects that became a "chip" of the film, it would be possible to implement on the screen.
Instead, Will Smith chose the famous film Barry Sonnenfeld "Wild, Wild West", having divided the "Golden Raspberry" with the rest of the "Golden Pair" and the "worst Soundtrack". Since then, Will has no, no, it remembers his refusal from the "matrix" in an interview - then it assures that if I agreed to the role of neo, "everything would be spoiled," he admits that, returning to the past, would ask now in the young ourselves - "Why didn't you shoot in the" Matrix ", Balbes?"
Jack Nicholson
Promenade: "Great Father"
On: "Garden King"
Nicholsoni offered the role of Michael Korleon - the very role that Al Pacino turned into a star - but he considered that it was not suitable for this role. In 2004, he said: "In those days, I believed that the Indians should play the Indians, and Italians - Italians."
So in 1972 Nicholson starred in a little-known Drama "Garden King", which was to get out in all the parameters of good. But what excuse can be for refusal from the "godfather"?
Kevin Costner
Promenade: "Escape from Schown"To: "Water World"
Kevin Costner could not feel all the advantages of the lead role in the "shoot from Showanchka" instead of Tim Robbins, because, despite some support from critics, in 1994, at the time of the exit, the film did not appreciate the film. But now "Escape from Schown" regularly appears in all sorts of lists of "best films of all time."
The crutter at that time carried his grievous wear - the ill-fated "water world", which to this day also appears in the tops - only the tops of the most failed films in Hollywood's history.
Emily BLANT.
Promenade: "Iron Man 2"
To: "Gullover Travel"
Iron Man 2 is considered one of the most unsuccessful film films Marvel, but the Blanman had to play a black widow, and we have no doubt that with her participation "LC2" would definitely be at least a bit better. Instead, the actress starred with Jack Blake in Gullivier Travels. Blante herself says that he does not regret the lost role, rightly noting that "usually women's roles in superhero films are ungrateful." But still, "Gullover Travels"? ..
Christina Epplgate
Protected: "Blonde in Law"
To: "Aliens in America"
For the role in the "Blonde in Law", I needed a special type actress, and first the choice fell on Christina Applegate, but she, apparently, thought that it would be too similar to by that time, quite recently completed the series "Married ... with children."
"What it was a stupid movie, yes," she said, adding that, in her opinion, Reese Witherspoon "I coped with this role much better than I could."
Instead, Epplgate starred in the "aliens in America", the remake of the French film, about which you, most likely, have never heard.
Michael Madsen.
Protected: "Criminal Chivo"
To: "Whitett ERP"
One of the best roles of Madsen could happen in collaboration with Quentin Tarantino, but Madsen decided to miss the "criminal fiction" for the sake of filming together with the Costner in the "White Arpe", the next owner of the Antipremia "Golden Raspberry", which Madsen later honestly described as "three hours nausea. "
The omission of Madsen turned out to be a find for John Travolta, because Michael refused the role of Vincent Vigi. Tarantino did not like it, and they stopped communicating for many years. Fortunately for Madsen, they came up just in time to Madsen starred in "Kill Bill". And judging by his appearance in the "disgusting eight", now they have full harmony with Tarantino again.
Brook Shields
Promenade: "Face with a scar"
To: "Sugar"
As it turned out, mommy is not always right. Mother actresses Teri Shields forbade her daughter Brooke Shields to participate in the Gangster film Brian de Palma. Michel Pfaiffer has moved the role, and it was a big step for a career of a future cat.
Instead of Stard's critic, Shields, later, turned out to be in the adventure picture of Sugar, which was inspired by the disappearance of the Tetcher brand during the race in North Africa in 1982. The picture came out quite unsuccessful, and the scene in which the heroine dresses a man, received antipremia "Golden Malina" in the category "The worst actor of the second plan". At the same time, the "gender corresponding" nomination "The worst actress" poor Brooke also got. For all this, Brooke follows "thank" his mother - Terry Shields was the executive producer of Sahara.
