ICONIC FILMS IF WE HAD OUR WAY WITH CASTING VS. HOLLYWOOD HAVING ITS WAY

Welcome to the OTHERhood. We all know the story of how Harrison Ford nabbed the role of Indiana Jones from an unavailable Tom Selleck, and how Eddie Murphy scored the role of Reggie Hammond in 48 Hours at the expense of Jimmy Walker. Would the original casting have been better? But did you know that Eddie Murphy was considered to play Malcolm X and that Harrison Ford was passed over in favor of Dustin Hoffman in The Graduate? Waht would have happened had those casting choices stuck? Join the Blerdsassins Next Door at 6p PDT/ 8p CDT/ 9p CDT to discuss what would have happened in some well-known films if we had had our first choice with casting and if Hollywood had theirs.
