A lot of actors were considered for Indiana Jones, but the only ones that were really considered were Harrison Ford, Tom Selleck, Nick Nolte, and Jeff Bridges. As for Batman, he was probably considered by the studio. But dang, look at the movies he either turned down or was turned down for. As you said, actors do that all the time, but Jeff probably has the best of the bunch... if he even accepts half of those movies, he has a legendary career. He still had a great career... but could you imagine not only being Indiana Jones, but Batman as well? Also starring in Shawshank Redemption and Twelve Monkeys? Dang... |
well,i think it was not bad luck but part of his choice-if you take a look at his carreer:he never was interessted in action movies blockbuster style.
Harrison Ford did it the opposite way:He started late and he was not the first choice for indiana jones and(maybe i'm wrong) not for star wars but he got the roles in the end because he had the right friends(george lucas-since american graffity)and turned into one of the most famous stars.
it reminds me of matt dillon and brad pitt.Matt Dillon was successfull and famous when he was young,brad pitt was a nobody at that time,but matt dillon never cared about blockbuster or mainstream movies or shagging female hollywood stars with big PR(and you can have tons of PR with Cameron Diaz and Lindsay Lohan).He was offered to be colombus(instead of depardieu) or pulp fiction( the role of bruce willis) but did not went the easy way but more the independent one and when making movies with big directors they were low budget.Ccoppolla was bankrupt when he made outsiders and rumble fish and Kevin Spaceys Albino Alligator(despite the title no action movie) is a one-room movie.
i think that those guys just don't like too much fame or too simple hollywood stuff.
