    Found these online. Feel free to post more if you find some...

    Jerry Seinfeld was the original choice for the role John McClane in the Die Hard series but he turned it down to a scheduling conflict and the role ultimately went to Bruce Willis

    Gaoburey Sidibe was a little known fashion model in 2008 she was offered a role in the movie precious. She gained some 350 pounds for the role.

    Saving Private Ryan script was originally written in 1923. The second world war was started purely so the movie could be promoted as a "based on a true story" . Those always sell a little better. The movie was finally released in 1998.

    Arnold Schwarzeneggers's famous I'll be back line from Terminator 1 was in fact edited for lenght resons. The film was running late and line was changed to I'll be back. Originally it was going to be "Hey do you have any change? I think my meter is running out and I don' thave any change I just have plastic and cash and you know this neighbourhood...they tow cars left and right. It's the last thing I need...to get my car towed...how am I going to find Sarah then ..haha can you imagine?? (Guy hands him some change). Ok I'll see you in 2 minutes my dear sir. "

    These are real, or at least purportedly real...

    Peter Benchley (I think) & Steven Spielberg damaged the Shark in Jaws after hours & left the set without saying a word.

    Making the cup of water on the dashboard in Jurassic Park I vibrate was said to be one of the most absurdly troublesome shots in a movie which broke all kinds of tech ground.

    Val Kilmer, notoriously difficult to work with, refused to speak with director Joel Schumacher on the set of Batman Forever for two weeks after he was spoken to about his rudeness to the crew, taking his scene cues from a grip during the, 'silent period.'

    Kilmer had a rivalry with Tom Cruise on the set of Top Gun which culminated in Cruise being knocked out :lol:

    I'm pretty sure that Matt Damon was originally supposed to get Dicaprio's role in Titanic.

    They could had the cast of "The Godfather" and that movie would still be cheesy, schmaltzy excrement
