Over the years, there have been some much-publicised rejecting of big roles by huge names, and those decisions have most certainly come back to haunt them. Most of them would be too proud to admit they made a potentially career-changing error, but the success of the movies that they opted out of would prove otherwise. Some of these stars were struggling at the time, others were at the peak of their powers, while some totally missed the chance to become megastars. This list looks at why they said no, how well the film then did and how it affected their careers afterwards. It’s all very subjective, but there are some beauties in there.
A survival guide for lasting the entire runtime of a horror film.
Ugh! As if.
Superman and Fantastic Four trailer reactions suggest we’re officially at war.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt turn down Guardian Of The Galaxy role, he wanted to star in Sin City: Dame To Kill instead. i bet he regret it now after Sin City flop, and GOTG became a success at the box office
I think I could live without Jim Carrey as Captain Sparrow and I bet he could too. He'd be too "on" for the role; not nearly as quietly whimsical as Johnny Depp. Then again, if it had stopped him from making Dumb and Dumber To...
I thought Connery was offered the role of Morpheus as well. That would have been an interesting one, Will Smith and Sean Connery!?
John Travolta as Forrest Gump lol glad that didn't happen.
Will Smith as Neo I would've liked to see. Not a fan of Keanu Reeves acting.
i think the biggest one is michael madsen turning down the movie pulp fiction.
tarintino wrote the role for him but then had to make last minute changes and somehow chose john travolta. that movie must have been travoltas biggest role defining moments.
