• 0:24
  Speaker 2: the James Bonds.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: Sean Connery seeking a more recent one than that.

  Speaker 2: To be someone else, someone A big star in the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: eighties was almost Indiana Jones and a huge star in
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the eighties, big bushy mustache. He was down to the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: last part and he's like, actually, I can't commit to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: this because I'm working on mcnimp I. The dates don't
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: quite line up.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: I can see how that would have worked.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Say so, George Lucas actually turned to his mate on
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Star Wars, Harrison Ford did, Actually, I've got this thing
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: coming up. Do you want to do this? That's how
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: that happened. Crazy a all right, legally blonde. We know
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Reese with a Spoon is legally blonde, right, and.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: She is so good and in such great nick. She's
• 1:06

  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Actually?
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Yes? Al Woods was almost Christina Applegate, but again, she
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: was doing Married with Children. I can't really do that
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: right now, So there you go.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: I don't think she would have been right. I think
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Reese is better Chris.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: She's good, though.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Christina's shard it down because she was worried the character
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: would be too blonde and ditzy, like her character on
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Married with Children.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I feel like she would have taken it to too
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: much of a humorous town.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah maybe, Okay, yep, you know what I mean.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: You had to have a certain level of believability that
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: that's what she actually thought.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, okay's say the movie Speed. You know, Keanu
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Reeves Sandra Bullock on the Bus.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: I would love to watch that again.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: It's a great movie. A Okay, Sandra Bullock's role almost
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: didn't go to Sandra Bullock.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Who do you think is only once? She is so unique,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: isn't she?
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: She's brilliant. So nineteen ninety four big star at the time,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: almost took the role.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go with Hugh Grant's messus, Liz Hurley.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Catherine C. Jones.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: No, neither to those. Halle Berry.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, that it would have been a flop.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Sorry, because Helle's had quite a few flops. You tell
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: me one role that she's been amazing, And I know
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: she got an oscarter, but everyone said it was a
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: terrible so or something.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Halle Berry read the script, she goes, this looks stupid.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: There's a bomb on a bus. No, I'm not doing that.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: She turned it down.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Thankful for that, So I want anything she did.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: Just write that film though, where she was like sleeping
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: with the young handsome guy. It was like half her age.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Remember she was the script writer.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: She was a scriptwriter in a.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Film as effectively, she was like twice the age.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Of the Love.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Interesting. Everyone wants to write their own scripts, don't they?
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I can't remember.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Do you remember Silence of the Lambs? Of course, brilliant
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: acting from both Hannibal Lictor and Clarice Starling.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Right, tell me Anthony Hopkins wasn't going to get.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Hopkins was always going to be.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: But who was going to be Race Jodi Foster.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Jodi Foster was, but who was going to be
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: before her? And this woman turned it down, which I
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: think jo didn Jodi Foster win the least the best
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: actress Oscar.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Jody Foster has a unique set of skills for horror movies.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't picture this, but Michelle Pfeiffer almost had
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: that role.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Michelle Feiffer also has a unique set of skills for
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: thriller slash horrors. Remember she started what Lies Beneath she was,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: She's seen in a lot of the bunny boiler type ones.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: It's interesting because a lot of these, a lot of
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: these near misses for people in terms of casting, would
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: have still worked, Like the one that's still ringing in
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: my brain. It's Tom Selleck for Indiana Jones. I was like,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: no one can do what Harrison Ford did. But then
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: you're like, Tom Selleck would have worked.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, maybe, okay, well this have worked. Then Boogie Knights,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Mark Wohlberg and Boogie booge Knights, right, yeah, So now
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the guy who almost got that was Leon added DiCaprio.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Ah, yeah that would have worked.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, and one more and this this
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: is shocking to me. The notebook my favorite movie of
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: all time, The Notebook. You've got Ryan Gosling and Rachel.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: McAdams and that's one of my favorite movies of all
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: time too. So whoever you're going to say is not
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: going to stack up.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You're going to be shocked of us.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Who do you think was almost Rachel McAdams, Nestlie Portman,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Christina Applegame.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: No, neither of those two Britney Spears.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Oh wait, sorry, that's unfortunate.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: That would have been the most terrible decision. It would
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: have been a flop.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: She was reading She's down to the flight last two
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to play Ellie. Someone's reading it to a stop. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: she only turned it down because she was working on
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: her album at the time. So because of that album,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Rachel McAdams got Ellie.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I wonder if she had taken that role, because we're
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: only we're only judging this on Britney Spears now and
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: she's got her own issues and problems. But had she
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: taken that role, would it have taken in a different
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: direction than Maybe maybe she would have stopped the singing.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: And but just what we seeing from her on social
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: it's like she she lacks in a few areas, doesn't
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: she you know.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: She mentally ill.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I don't think she's got good people around her.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: I think it's more than that. What's more than that,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I think there's an intelligence issue as well as that.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: To me, anyway, we're glad Wins, right, Tomcat, And let's
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: just say that, and let's put me in this yere
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: before the lets get involved.
