Well there was rivalry for Leia’s attention in the films that didn’t end till the third film when Luke finally found out Leia was sister, which in itself was disturbing, swap Foster in and it’s even more disturbing.
That’s interesting. Especially considering that Mark Hamill later after Luke Skywalker heavily favored villainous portrayals, the nastier the better, to the point where Luke Skywalker seems like he’s playing against type in hindsight. It wouldn’t be far off for Hamill to play Freddy Krueger actually, it would be close to The Joker. So maybe in some alternate timeline the roles of Englund and Hamill are in reverse.
The character that Kubrick wanted Schwarzenegger to portray was the Animal Mother character.
It's not surprising that Bruce Willis had turned down Full Metal Jacket when you take into consideration that he was busy with commitments to do the TV series Moonlighting at the same time (In fact the first 6 Episodes of the series were to be filmed effectively around the same time the film was to begin filming as well if you take into account the actual filming dates when Full Metal Jacket was filmed according to the IMDB).
Technically he was Joe Dante's choice for the role (back before Burton got the director job)
Ah what?!
I can’t imagine Cage or Vin Diesel as Aragorn. Of course OTL, they went with Stuart Townsend before sacking him. It’s a good call, Townsend was too youthful. Would’ve still been good if it was just Aragorn and the 4 hobbits but you needed someone older if you want someone that Legolas, Gimli, and Boromir can take seriously.
