When he was offered the role of Allan Quartermain in THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN, he accepted it despite still not understanding the plot, as he expected it to be a box office hit as the two other movies he declined. He hated every moment of filming and continuously clashed with director Stephen Norrington, whom he deemed "an amateur". The movie was a flop and both Connery's and Norrington's last high-profile gig in Hollywood.

Brando was notoriously hard to work with.

It was actually for Batman Returns, but they ended cutting the character out of the story. They actually had made an action figure in the vague likeness of Wayans and it ended up still being released, though with white skin. The action figure still has this high Kid n' Play hairstyle (with bangs crudely painted on despite not being part of the sculpt) which makes more sense when you realize he was originally going to be a black guy.

"Its the 90's" was a pretty common phrase used to point out how certain political/social beliefs were considered to be outdated.

Hell, by the time of Batman and Robin people were already making jokes about political correctness. Batman even quips about it when Batgirl announces her name. That was 1997.

Frank Sinatra starred in The Detective (1968), based on the novel by Roderick Thorp. As such, he had the first rights to a sequel, should it ever be shot. Since Die Hard was basically such a sequel, it was offered to Frank, who was 73 at the time.

>>77485354
Sinatra WAS McClane. But in an earlier adaptation of a novel featuring the same character from a later novel that the actual Die Hard was adapted from.

So Sinatra wasn't McClane in name but the source material/character is the same.

Despite being an adaptation of a novel, Die Hard originally started as a sequel to Commando.

Honestly I don't think he would've been involved with the project that long. I remember that Mark Evanier wrote about the time how, prior to Garfield and Friends (this was in 1987), CBS wanted him to write a cartoon starring Michael Jackson. Evanier went over to Jackson's house to interview him, and Jackson had second thoughts about the cartoon (cause he thought being in a cartoon would harm his rock star status) and wondered if Evanier could do a Michael Jackson cartoon in which Jackson wasn't in it.

No, I mean that they clearly had a different plan in mind going into it, for it to have been specifically Jackson-oriented.

They had to contractually offer the Die Hard role to Sinatra first even though he was in his 70s by then.

Speaking of it being developed as Commando 2 first, every single Die Hard except the fifth one started out as another script that was rewritten to be part of the series.

>There were plans for a sequel to WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT titled ROGER RABBIT: THE TOON PLATOON, in which Roger leaves his adoptive parents' house in the Midwest with his human best friend Richie Davenport and travels to Hollywood to search for his biological mother in 1941. He falls in love with struggling toon actress Jessica Krupnick, who is later kidnapped by the Nazis and forced to participate of pro-Nazi propaganda films. Roger and Richie then join the Toon Platoon, a squad of human and cartoon soldiers and fights in the frontlines, rescuing and marrying Jessica and ultimately meeting his father, Bugs Bunny.

>Steven Spielberg felt he could no longer satirize the Nazis after SCHINDLER'S LIST and a new pitch titled WHO DISCOVERED ROGER RABBIT was written, featuring Roger's meteoric rise to stardom, his relationship with Jessica and his struggles with the excess of the Hollywood lifestyle. In this draft, Roger was still Bugs Bunny's illegitimate son, and Jessica was shown to be the daughter of a domineering washed-out actress who refuses to accept that her daughter, a former child start, has grown and lost her "it factor". Despite studio interest, the project ultimately fell apart due to Spielberg's lack of interest.

In it, The Flash is accidentally teleported to a post-apocalyptic future where he joins forces with Green Arrow and his daughter, Dr. Occult and Blok to save the world and return to his own time. The show was deemed too expensive and turned into a solo vehicle for the Flash.

Martha jumps, seeing MR. DEVANEY walk out from inside their house. He’s the Kent’s landlord. Big guy in his early 50s. Short, cropped red hair. Brown suit. Martha tries to hide her distaste for the man.

MARTHA
Mr. Devaney...

MR. DEVANEY
I let myself in, hope that’s okay.

No, it isn’t. On the porch, Martha moves Clark past Devaney, toward the front door.

MARTHA
If you’re looking for Jonathan,
he’s not home--

MR. DEVANEY
-- no, I know that, he told me he
was going out of town for a few
days.

http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/the-batman-godzilla-movie-that-could-have-been/

For the record, Batman beats him by calling him with a "female Godzilla mating call", straps him in a rocket, and shoots him into space. (We'll send him cheesy movies...)

>>77487982
Martha and young Clark arrive home late at night while Jonathan is out of town and their landlord is waiting for them at the porch, and tells Martha that Jonathan hasn't paid rent again. Martha says he has loan from the bank and will pay. Landlord says he doesn't buy it and isn't waiting. Martha realizes what's happening and tries to get inside, but landlord blocks her way. She tells Clark to go inside and not look.

Landlord basicaly tells Martha she can fuck him to cover the rent, she says she'd rather be homeless, he holds her and attempts to force a kiss, she rejects, he gets violent, then kid Clark grabs him by the leg and flinches him several yards with superstrenght. Landlord drives away claiming Clark is the Devil.

Clark goes inside. Martha turns back to face Devaney. From inside the house, Clark watches through a window, his tormented eyes locked on Devaney --

loan...

MARTHA
Yes. Rent will be on time this
month.

CLARK
Stop it!

But Devaney just pushes the boy back:

MR. DEVANEY
Get back in the house!

He continues his aggression on Martha, who tries in vain to fight him off. Clark then lunges at Mr. Devaney -- tackling him OFF THE PORCH --

MARTHA
Clark!

Clark then GRABS MR. DEVANEY AND THROWS HIM, TWENTY YARDS ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY! Devaney lands hard, SKIDDING BACK in the dirt toward the barn. Martha’s horrified as Devaney comes to a stop, dirty and bleeding. He looks over at Clark -- held back now by Martha. The boy is more afraid than anything else. Mr. Devaney is a mess: his eyes wide, terrified:

As I recall they also rumoured Vinnie Jones to play Lobo, but that may have been only because of his association with Guy Ritchie (playing a hitman in both Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels, and in Snatch).

I was actually looking forward to that movie, fuck. It would have been SO much fun. Probably not violent enough (for a Lobo movie), but it would've had some crazy weird as shit hell befitting Lobo, if it was Guy Ritchie making it.

I've honestly always thought that Robin Williams could have made for one of the most terrifying Jokers of all time.

Not by being a make-up smeared anarchist or DAMAGED - I actually figured he'd look a lot like Cesar Romero - but I imagined the way he would PLAY the role would be like some frequently flipping coin: one half his fast-paced, energetic stand-up, the other half a somber, subtly sociopathic performance like the one from One Hour Photo. And he'd smile a smile with absolutely nothing behind the eyes.

Robin Williams (along with Robert DeNiro) was considered for the role of Jack in The Shining, but Kubrick said he was "too psychotic".
At the time, Robin Williams was only known for Mork & Mindy. DeNiro lost the part for not being psychotic enough.

This was real. The script was online too. It had Jack Black's character eat a raw coyote head on a Fear Factor-type show.

To be fair, Jimmy was pretty much a non-character in the script.

I think Lex comparing himself to Prometheus actually comes from this draft.

Also ironic, given how TLJ's performance was one of the worst things in the movie.

>>77486036
Robin Williams' role is more interesting than that. Nicholson (who the studio wanted) wasn't very interested in the role until he found out that Williams was in the running. Williams was upset over being used like that, so Burton promised him the role of Riddler in the third movie. But then Burton was taken off that movie after WB didn't like the less-family-friendly direction he was taking the movies.

>>77506457
That sounds like the perfect storm of badness.

At this point I wouldn't mind if that shitting Jason Todd is the new Joker theory so that the original old Joker steps out of Arkham and it's William Dafoe

Spider-Man Trilogy

>Tobey Maguire was actually fired from the movie for allegedly thinking the crew would rearrange the filming schedule to work around his back problems. Different sources have different explanations for his termination (such as tensions on-set or drama behind the scenes), but Maguire would later admit that his attitude going into the movie was "inappropriate." Jake Gyllenhaal was almost cast as a replacement, but Maguire was able to smooth things over and get rehired.
>Hugh Jackman was supposed to have a brief Cameo as Wolverine. Jackman actually showed up in New York to film the scene, but the entire plan was scrapped when the crew couldn't get access to the Wolverine costume from X-Men.
>Eddie Brock was originally going to show up in the 2002 Spider-Man film in a cameo role discussing his photograph assignments with J. Jonah Jameson (an "Eddie" is still mentioned in dialogue). Peter was also originally going to have mechanical web shooters (just like the comic books). Both these scenes were shot (Peter testing out his mechanical shooters appeared in a 2001 E3 trailer, and an actor did an interview talking about playing Brock in the first film), but were never released on DVD.

>>77514545
Huh, I didn't know about Tobey actually getting fired. Pretty sure Dunst would've wanted the actor change. I think she was dating Jake back then.

>It would have dealt with the turtles and Splinter finding out that their mutations haven't completed and they develop new powers. Mikey would have developed a human-like appearance that would allow him to go to the surface, Donnie's eyesight would have faded and he would make special goggles that would allow him to see better, Leo would change his skin to a chrome-like surface, Raph would turn more monstrous, and Splinter would bulk up.

Yeah. It's got one more issue left before it ends.

>According to the book Michael Jackson Unauthorized, he had a conversation with Spielberg about playing the title character in the movie adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (at the time, Spielberg's name was being thrown around as a potential director for it). Lloyd Webber has confirmed that Jackson wanted that role badly and kept bringing it up with him, but he was never seriously considered for it.

>When Paramount briefly considered producing The Crow, they intended it to be a Jackson vehicle and a musical.

>According to brother Jermaine's book You Are Not Alone, Jackson was all set to campaign for the role of Willy Wonka in the second Charlie and the Chocolate Factory adaptation...then he was accused of child molestation for a second time, and that became impossible. Colleague/producer Marc Schaffel (in the biography Untouchable) goes further with this, claiming that Michael wrote a whole soundtrack for the movie and submitted it to Warner Bros. in 2000, figuring that they would give him the lead on the basis of it. But though executives loved it, they were not comfortable casting him as Willy Wonka, and offered to find another role in the film for him in exchange for the soundtrack. Michael was too dead set on the lead role to allow this, so it fell through.

>He [Michael Jackson] wanted to be The Riddler in Batman Forever.

Transmetropolitan starring Patrick Stewart as Spider Jerusalem.

>>77515254
So what role can Michael Jackson actually be perfect for? He and Nick are big comic fans but never seem to hit the jackpot on anything. At least Nick Cage got a nice role as Big Daddy in Kickass1

>>77515434
I have no idea, I feel bad for him, he never found the perfect role.

>In the late '90s, Max Fleischer's son Richard "Dick" Fleischer worked on a full-length Betty Boop movie. A prequel following Betty's rise to fame in the Golden Age of Hollywood, it would have had legendary Broadway star Bernadette Peters voicing Betty, and it would have introduced Betty's estranged father Benny Boop into official canon. It was eventually cancelled due to a change in management at MGM

>Michael Chabon pitched short movie treatments for the Fantastic Four and the X-Men. The Fantastic Four was to be set in an Alternate History which, tonally, "was forever November 21st, 1963" and, plot-wise, was to involve Doctor Doom travelling back in time to assassinate a key world figure in order to remake the world into a grim dystopia that was pretty much the real world. Soviet agents were also going to be involved somehow.

>After acquiring the rights to the Beatles' songs in the mid-1980's Michael Jackson approached Bluth with a movie idea called Strawberry Fields Forever. It would consist of animated Fantasia-style vignettes featuring Beatles songs, similar to Yellow Submarine. Not only did Don Bluth agree to it, he also planned on making it entirely in CGI. Had the movie been made, it would have predated the ground-breaking Toy Story by about eight years. Further along in the project, the premise became revamped so that characters from Beatles songs (like Mr. Mustard and the Walrus) would act as New York City gangsters. Among other reasons, the main reason why the project fell through was because the surviving Beatles members denied permission to use their images in an animated film. The only part of the film that managed to be made was test footage of the "Beatles gangsters."
