The Almost Cast

Denzel Washington as Mills

Really? That would have been such a huge improvement. That might have made it one of the greatest movies of all time.
Everything is better with Denzel Washington.

Al Pacino as Han Solo

(Imagining Han Solo saying, "Say Hello to My Little Friend!")

Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones

That would have turned Indiana Jones into a gag character - the Aquaman of action heroes.
Can anybody even imagine somebody other than Harrison Ford as Indy?

Jim Carrey as Buddy

That would have been quite a trip - and that's putting it mildly.

Natalie Portman as Rogue

Anna Paquin did a great job as Rogue, but Natalie Portman would have done a great job, too.

Robert Redford as Michael Corleone

Whose brilliant fucking idea was that? While Robert Redford may be a great actor, he was wrong for Michael Corleone.

Winona Ryder as Mary Corleone

Probably every fan of the Godfather saga knows how well the casting of Sofia Coppola as Mary Corleone turned out.
What if Winona Ryder got the part? I can't help but imagine the cutaway gag from Family Guy.

Zooey Deschanel as Tiffany

Let me put it this way: If it were Zooey instead of Jennifer Lawrence, I would have seen the movie a hell of a lot earlier!

Leonardo Di Caprio as Patrick Bateman

I think he could have pulled it off.

Sean Penn as Tyler Durden

Hmmm. Interesting. That would have actually made Fight Club worth watching!

Pierce Brosnan as James Bond

What if Pierce Brosnan got the role for the Living Daylights? Well, while Brosnan wasn't a bad Bond, he definitely would not have done better than Timothy Dalton.

Michael Richards as Adrian Monk

Do I dare even imagine this one? I guess so. It's hard to imagine anybody other than Tony Shalhoub as Monk, and Michael Richards would have completely fucked it up.
