Harvey actually filmed 3 days w/ Francis.

I think Duchovny had a screen test. I'd pay money to see that.

I've read that when Silverstone was having expanding waistline problems, they considered bringing Alyssa Milano on to play Batgirl.

DIRTY HARRY: Originally intended for Frank Sinatra, but a hand injury prevented him from doing it. The role was offered to John Wayne, Steve McQueen and Paul Newman before Clint Eastwood.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but has

SEAN YOUNG instead of KIM BASINGER in BATMAN

been mentioned yet?

It's funny, cause SEAN YOUNG was kicked off the set of the 2nd one, cause she dressed up like CATWOMAN trying to break into the franchise again.

Leo DiCaprio was going to do American Psycho but wound up backing out of it for some reason - Christian Bale took the role instead (poor Christian).
