Was Amber Benson in Urban Legend, or was she in some other dire horror film I'm getting mixed up with as its early in the morning?

Wasn't Charisma Carpenter offered a part in The Faculty (as I'm sure theres a character called Coredlia who is pretty similar) or again, am I muddled?
 
Roles turned down by Charisma Carpenter:

The Faculty
The part of Delilah Profitt was written for her, but she turned it down.
Actor who got the part: Jordana Brewster

Scream 3
Charisma Carpenter was considered for the part of Christine Hamilton.
Actor who got the part: Kelly Rutherford

As far as I know Amber Benson wasn't in Urban Legend, unless she ran through the background at some point, or something.
 
Charisma Carpenter would have been great in The Faculty! I heard about the Scream thing before though and she would have been great in that too.
 
Wow, she turned down some pretty good stuff.

I decided I'd have a shot at some other Buffy characters and here's what I found for David Boreanaz.

Batman Begins
David Boreanaz turned down the part of Batman
Actor who got the part: Christian Bale

Superman Returns
Boreanaz was turned down for the role of Superman.
Actor who got the part: Brandon Routh

Wow. 😀
 
Yeah I don't know about that Batman one. I was following all that pretty close. I don't remember it that way. I think the site is a wiki, which means it's just people like you and me submitting stories. Really it's just for fun.

There was a lot of David as Batman, David as Superman gossip on the net at one time though.
 
All of those would have been so bad. So very, very bad!

And Taboo is an amazing film! 😛
 
Seeing SMG as Cher in clueless would have been an interesting oddity. It's not on the list, but what about Legally Blond? I wonder what SMG would have been like in that one.

yeh but Alicia did an awesome job in clueless.. and i dont think anyone could be legally blonde quite like rees.. tho SMG is amazing herself..:silly:
 
*counts* That makes... at least nine projects that were much better than they would have been with SMG in them. 😀
 
No. Noone but Anna Paquin could be Rogue. Sarah Michelle Gellar was too old for that part anyway. Rogue was just a kid.

I am glad she didn't do the role of Cher for "Clueless." I think that would have runined her rep. because to me "Clueless" is one of the worst movies anybody could have ever done. It was just so blah. If that was the first Sarah Michelle Gellar movie that I have ever seen then I would have not watched any of her other movies because I would have thought they would be blah and stupid considering that that movie was blah and stupid.

I don't know about "The Faculty" because I have never even heard or seen the movie.

Why did she turn the role down for Julie in "I Know What You Did Last Summer?" She would have made more money for her role and she would be able to work with Freddie more. I know they weren't married then but if they were I bet she would have taken it. Besides I would have liked for her to be in "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer." But I am glad she took the role of Helen because she played her really well.

I don't know about "The In Crowd" because I have never seen or heard of that movie.

I don't know about "The Mobe Squad" because I have never heard of or seen that movie.

I know she had to turn down the role of "Romeo and Juliet" because of "All My Children." I think she would have made a wonderful Juliet. Of course I have not seen the whole movie. I have seen like the first half. I heard it was really long.

I am so glad she couldn't do "Urban Legend" because that was a horrible movie. It would have ruined her rep. The acting was horrible and the storyline was really bad to me.

I don't know about "Who is Cletis Tout" because I have never even heard or seen the movie.

Why did she turn down the role of Rogue in "X-Men?" She would have made a lot of money considering those "X-Men" movies are really popular and famous. I think she would have made a great Rogue.

i think the guys above are right...i don't think i could have sat through the X-Men movies is SMG played Rogue. she was WAY too old to play the character. Rogue was just a teenager, and, at the time the first film was made, SMG was already in her 20's...i'm no idea how old Anna is, but i'm guessing she's younger than SMG.
