Why a famous Hollywood actor can be suspended from work in the midst of filming

In any profession, there are moments of success and failure, triumphs and dismissals. And even working directly on the set of the film can not protect against sudden dismissal. Now we will talk about a number of cases when Hollywood stars left projects during the filming process.

The association of the film “Beverly Hills Cop” with Eddie Murphy among the audience was entrenched thanks to three successful films about the adventures of a representative of the law in the famous city. However, few people know that instead of the beloved comedy actor could be Sylvester Stallone. In fact, he was approved for the main role. However, the team and the actor had to separate due to creative differences. The actor made changes to the script and added more action scenes, but the budget did not allow such luxury. Therefore, the main role went to Eddie Murphy, and Sylvester Stallone left the project along with his work.

Few people know, but instead of Michael Bean in the role of the brave Corporal Hicks from “Aliens” could be James Remar. Almost immediately after filming began, he was fired due to "creative differences." However, over time, the actor admitted that this happened because of his addiction to certain substances.

As in the case of “Police”, Stallone made his edits in the filming process of the famous fantastic action movie. The role of Lieutenant Huxley, the companion of the main character, was originally intended for Lori Petty. But, apparently, the relationship of the actors so did not suit the leading star that in the end the main female role went to Sandra Bullock.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson during the filming of his “Oil” was also forced to fire one of the actors. Namely Kel O’Neill, who was to play the role of Eli Sandy. Nobody really knows why this happened, but as a result, the role went to Paul Dano (who already played Paul Sandy, Eli's brother). So Paul Dano played the twins.

Already at the post-production of the film “She” it was decided to replace Samantha Morton with Scarlett Johansson. Fortunately, this did not even require significant reshoots. After all, Samantha voiced artificial intelligence, which falls in love with the main character. The creators came to the conclusion that there was not enough magic in the voice of the actress, and Samantha gave her blessing for the re-voicing.

There are several versions of the reasons for the departure of the talented actor from the shooting of “V” means Vendetta. On one of them, the directors were not satisfied with V's voice - it was not formidable enough. According to another version, the actor himself was not happy that he had to play in a mask all the time. In any case, the shooting was not easy, as at the time of the replacement of the lead actor was already filmed most of the scenes.

The original role of Christophe, executive producer of The Truman Show, was Dennis Hopper. However, he left the project and was replaced by Ed Harris. There is no official reason for leaving. But according to rumors, the actor could not remember his lines, which is why he was forced to leave the role to another actor.

Perhaps someone will think that the original choice of the actor was more successful. However, there is no need to be sad about this. One can only be glad that despite the difficulty, the work on the set did not stop, and the audience as a result watched wonderful pictures.
