Jason Marcewicz

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that. What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living - is just blog for MovieFanFare. —Jason

02.03.12 Originally Starring 3

While most movie buffs know that Tom Selleck was slated to be Indiana Jones before Harrison Ford, perhaps they would be surprised to learn Clint Eastwood was tabbed to be in Men in Black (before Tommy Lee Jones stepped in) as Agent K. Or that writer/director Cameron Crowe did not have Tom Cruise in mind for Jerry Maguire but another Tom—Tom Hanks! (See them here: Originally Starring 2. And there’s more in the Originally Starring post.)
This is the third installment in the series in which we have a little fun pretending that the original casting choices actually did nab coveted film roles made famous by another actor or actress, and the back story of why it didn’t happen.

Beetlejuice

David Geffen brought the Beetlejuice project to Tim Burton. Believe it or not, the script was way more violent & depressing, with the title character bent on killing and raping. Subsequent script revisions lightened the tone, so when it came time to cast the ghost-with-the-most Burton wanted childhood idol Sammy Davis, Jr. for the part. Geffen nixed his choice, instead suggesting Michael Keaton. Burton: “I met Michael and that’s when I started to see the character of Betelgeuse.”
