MOVIES LIKE GROWN UPS 2 MOVIE
Howard got the part after all.Īnthony Hopkins came back to play Hannibal Lecter in this Silence of the Lambs sequel, but Jodie Foster wasn’t interested in reprising her Oscar-winning turn as Clarice Starling (she didn’t like what the source novels’ author, Thomas Harris, did with her character, but she got to save face by telling producers that she was too busy for the part because she was directing a movie - Flora Plum, which was never actually finished). But then the production company kicked Lefevre off the third movie, Eclipse, when she was too busy finishing up filming the indie movie Barney’s Version. Red-haired character actress Rachelle Lefevre got the relatively small part of Victoria in the first two Twilight movies after director Catherine Hardwicke’s first choice, red-haired Bryce Dallas Howard, (wisely) said no, because she thought it was too small a part to be worth her time. As the last scene of the first movie explicitly sets up the second movie - and was meant to be played at the beginning of Part II - Zemeckis reshot it, without Wells and with Shue. The original Jennifer, Claudia Wells, dropped out before filming to tend to her sick mother (and didn’t return to Hollywood for years). Also recast for the sequel was the role of Marty McFly’s girlfriend, Jennifer. Glover hadn’t granted permission to use his likeness again, so he sued the filmmakers. He used unused footage from the first movie, along with a new actor (Jeffrey Weissman, obscured with glasses, prosthetics, and shot from behind). Director Robert Zemeckis recast Glover with…Glover, for the most part. Everyone said no to that, so Glover was sent off on his way to make his weird and wonderful art projects. To return as George McFly, a character who was equal parts charming and unsettling, Crispin Glover wanted more money, more or less what they were paying Michael J. A boat displaced the bus in the Speed sequel, and Jason Patric took over for Keanu Reeves, who is best known for Speed and for being perceived to be as slow as a slow-moving boat. Sure, boats move fast, but we don’t perceive them as moving as fast as, say, a bus, because they’re gigantic lumbering things that do their business in water. In the sequel, The Secret of the Ooze, Paige Turco took over the part, a transition made more palatable with the addition of a Vanilla Ice cameo. In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the intrepid reporter was portrayed by Judith Hoag. There were humans in the Ninja Turtles movies? Oh, right, April O’Neil, the reporter in the needlessly superutilitarian jumpsuit. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze
So the great Gambon got the part, as he was the only well-known British actor who wasn’t already signed up to be in the Harry Potter films.
Ian McKellen was also offered the role the second time around, but he was already playing a wise, long-white-bearded wizard in the Lord of the Rings movies. Michael Gambon got to be Dumbledore in most of the Harry Potter movies because the first Dumbledore, Richard Harris, died. With her long courtship, marriage, and be-childing with couch-jumping Tom Cruise generating a certain amount of unwelcome tabloid attention happening in between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Katie Holmes did not return for the latter, replaced in the role of Rachel Dawes with more serious actress Maggie Gyllenhaal. In negotiating for the sequel, his pay was cut, Howard’s agents said no, and Don Cheadle was cast as Rhodey. Here are ten other movie sequels that Darrin Stevensed us and replaced an actor with another actor and hoped we wouldn’t notice.Įvidently Terrence Howard was the first major actor to sign on for the first Iron Man, before it was a known entity as a franchise, and as such was the highest paid actor. Replacing Schneider, who reportedly wanted more money, is Sandler crony Nick Swardson, who gets a bigger role than he usually does. The big news surrounding Grown Ups 2, other than the fact that it’s yet another cynically-conceived way for Adam Sandler to hang out with his friends at a waterpark for two months, is that Sandler crony Rob Schneider is not returning from the first film.
