Movies That Could Have been Good/Better With Different Actor(s)?
What movies do you think would have been good/better if one or two of the main characters were switched out with other actors? Name the movie, actors and characters.

Anything with Tom L Hubbard Cruise would have been way better with anyone else.

Dead or Alive.


Now, "better" is a subjective word here. I don't think this movie could have been good by any means, no matter how big the budget was or what director they got on it. DoA is bad movie material. Furthermore, I'm really just pissed that they hired actresses that looked nothing like the characters--after all, the entire reason for watching would be tits, and what do they go and do? Get actresses without tits. Come on now. With that in mind, several of the folks I'll mention aren't actors per se--models and such, more like, but it's not like the acting talent aspect mattered for a movie like this.

Kasumi
Original Actress: Devon Aoki
Critic's Choice: Yoko Matsugane

Aoki's cute an' all, but boobies. Boobiesboobiesboobies. The biggest argument I hear against better casting for DOA is But there aren't girls built like that. Bullshit.

Tina Armstrong
Original Actress: Jaime Pressley
Critic's Choice: April Hunter

Boobiesboobies. Blonde her up and let it roll. She's a wrestler in real life, so it's a sly nod to the aware. April's looked slimmer, I just couldn't find a good pic on such short notice.

Helena
Original Actress: Sarah Carter
Critic's Choice: Bianca Beauchamp
The only picture I could find of her blonde, she was also naked.
Bianca Beauchamp's into cosplay, gaming conventions and other assorted nerdy shit, so it wouldn't be a stretch to talk her into doing this.

Ayane
Original Actress: Natassia Malthe
Critic's Choice: Nozomi Takeuchi



And that's from like, ten minutes with Google and Wikipedia. You can't tell me that a director with months of preparation shouldn't be able to do better.

I liked Laurence Fishbourne, too, but honestly: Andre Braugher could improve any movie he is in by doing anything. Most underrated actor ever.

Equilibrium was just an all-around better take on the concept.

Fishburne woulda been fine, but it seemed like the director told him to never emote or something. I think anyone in that role would have been as bad.

The Star Wars prequels could have benefitted from actors worth a crap. Some of the lines are terrible, but a lot of them are decent, and only really suck because of the assholes playing the characters.

I thought Matrix was good with Reeves. That role didn't need anyone better. Movie was far and away ahead of it's time.

Let's not talk about the sequels.

I never liked Mena Suvari as Angela in American Beauty. I didn't buy her performance at all especially compared to the other major female parts in the film which were superb.


and yes I realize the absurdity of saying American Beauty could've been better

Least Smith can emote.

Granted, he does it in a goody Minstrel Show style, but it would have fit better than Reeves.

Yeah. I can't say with any certainty that Smith would be better or worse, it would just be drastically different. I don't know if the Matrix would have gotten the cult following it did, to be honest. Again, not that Smith's worse, he just seems to be less available for the role of the nerd hero.

Actually, I'm pretty sure Will Smith was offered the role of Neo, but turned it down for Wild Wild West.

I'll take "career choices he probably regrets" for $500, Alec. Alex. Whatever, we don't have Jeopardy(!) here.

I'll take "career choices he probably regrets" for $500, Alec. Alex. Whatever, we don't have Jeopardy(!) here.
To be fair, how could he possibly have known that the movie he was in would be the inferior one?

Supposedly, Brandon Lee was the one the Wachowski brothers had in mind for Neo when they were writing the movie.

Could have been interesting.

I do wonder how his career would have been like if he was still alive.

I would have loved for this too happen. I saw great things in store for Lee and the matrix would have been better with him.

The Star Wars prequels could have benefitted from actors worth a crap. Some of the lines are terrible, but a lot of them are decent, and only really suck because of the assholes playing the characters.
Seriously, Andre Braugher as a Jedi Master somewhere. He's going to become my Movies/TV equivalent to Doug Basham, but I don't care. The man has two Emmys to prove his talent (I know, Emmys don't mean shit).

I can actually see that. It would have probably kicked a lot of ass. It's a shame his career was cut so short.
