Roles Sarah Turned Down

Wow, I bet Claire Danes is glad that Sarah turned down so many parts. She stepped into two of them!

As for Rogue, whilst the Rogue of the movies is a young girl the Rogue in the actual books is more around Sarah's age (a little younger but not so much that Sarah couldn't pass for it) so she would probably have been a more accurate choice if you go off the source material.

Adrian Paul (of Highlander fame) once said that he had been in talks to play the role of Gambit in the original movie but a later rewrite removed the character entirely. A shame because I always liked Gambit.
 
Actually Josh Holloway was asked to play Gambit but he thought the character was too much like Sawyer so said no. So they didnt put Gambit in the film. (Although that was the third film)
 
I can't believe she turned down Clueless, and Romeo and Juliet, even though I can't imagine SMG in either of those roles.. I LOVE Alicia Sileverstone and Claire Danes.
 
There's a third film to add to the list of movies that SMG turned down and Claire Danes got...Stardust.
 
i read that it was a whole "they take it in turns" thing to be outa new york, and she really wanted to do it to work with robert. but it was freddies turn to do something... RUDE!
 
Fantastic Four
It was between Boreanaz and Michael Chiklis for the role of "The Thing." Chiklis won the role due to the height difference and Boreanaz' lack of wanting to be covered in make up for 90% of the movie.
Actor who got the part: Michael Chiklis

That´s funny xD


And about SMG... there are thing actors do taht I can´t understand... like turning down a role to do nothing 😵 I mean, it´s their job..

Agreed but I wish they would have had someone else play Rogue because I hate Anna Paquin in that role!!

Aww no! ::crying2: I loved Anna Paquin as Rogue! She's one of my favourite actresses though, I love her so much.
 
I agree i don't think she would have made a good rouge. But it's her loss, i think some of those films were great (clueless,I Know What You Did Last Summer,Romeo + Juliet and x-men) I'm kind of glad she tuned down i couldn't really see her in any of them! and Clare Danes is a great actress for the roles she got instead of Sarah.
 
Wow, thanks for sharing that link! That was interesting... A lot of them I am glad she turned down 'cause now I can't imagine anyone else but the actresses who played those roles in the part (Alicia Silverstone, Jennifer Love Hewitt), but WOW I bet Claire Danes is happy she did. LOL
The only one I really wish she had of done was "Where The Heart Is". I loved Natalie Portman in that role, but I also think Sarah would have done really well in it, too.
 
LOL I couldn't stand "Romeo and Juliet".... I thought the concept to bring it into modern times was cool, but I can't handle the Shakespearian English. Bah.

nuh uh?! Why would she turn that down? I loved that film. To spend time with Freddie, seriously? I really kinda hate him. Man, SMG really knows how to pick some crap-house movies! Its almost like she has no sense at all most of the time! I really think she needs to fire her current agent and start fresh.
