Casting changes
Beverly Hills Cop...original casting changes...How would this movie be without Eddy Murphy???
Submit other changes that would have dramatically changed a 'blockbuster'... Jerry Bruckheimer originally wanted Mickey Rourke in the lead role, but when he pulled out, it was offered to Stallone. Stallone personally rewrote the script. He removed all the elements of humor and had plans on turning the film into an action packed blockbuster. Due to budgetary constraints, Stallone and the producers went their separate ways. Stallone took his ideas from his rewrite and made the film Cobra. After Eddie Murphy was cast, script rewrites were made to repair the damage done by Stallone. In Beverly Hills Cop 2, there is a brief scene in which Axel Foley is looking at a poster from Cobra while talking on the phone. |

Will Smith originally was wanted to play Neo in The Matrix. That would have been interesting.

Leonardo Dicaprio turned down Neo too.
Also, Dirk from Boogie Nights. Which would have been ridiculous. Anytime that man tries to play anything other than androgynous or effeminate, I want to puke.

If Leo or Will would have accepted that role the Matrix would have twice as many fan boys.
Keanu Reeves should have retired after playing Ted. Patrick Swayze could have played both roles on Point Break.

If by interesting you mean the only possible way to make the movie worse that it already is.

I am in the minority, because I love the entire trilogy. However, if you don't consider the first film to be the innovative and groundbreaking film it is, well, that's just, like your opinion, man.
