you would like to buy em vodka sometimes
Hollywood gets it wrong she’s a happy
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst casting decisions for this list
we’ve picked casting choices that after
the movies were released still left
people scratching their heads
that’s Cheney I know while other casting
decisions were controversial some of
them worked out for the best
VJ number 10 Steve Martin as Inspector
Clouseau The Pink Panther Goodwin here’s
a recipe for a definite misfire recast
the comedians signature character that
is what they had been saying you idiot
by perfecting the clumsy idiot who takes
himself too seriously act Peter Sellers
became clues oh but Martin is just a
goof from start to finish I have email
pocket got dough virus of course he
wasn’t the first to try the role after
sellers but his was the most painful
that had to have and that’s when she
sees it
number nine Jack Black as Carl Denham
King Kong yeah the biggest problem with
Peter Jackson’s updated King Kong is
casting from Adrian Brody as the
romantic action hero lead to the kid
from Billy Elliot as the superfluous
Jimmy I’m not a coward I ain’t gonna run
but the biggest sore thumb in the bunch
is Jack Black as director Carl Denham
it’s not your fault what happened herb
is no one’s fault black is entirely two
of his time to fit into this Depression
era tale look chocolate and critics
questioned whether he had the dramatic
capabilities to carry such an iconic and
high budget film it wasn’t the airplanes
it was Beauty killed the Beast she knows
who we are
he’ll just have to kill her yep we’ll
kill her later we have work to do
number eight George Clooney is Batman
Batman and Robin we know we ripped on
this movie a lot but how can you not
despite his indisputable acting skills
you can’t help but notice that Clooney
is totally absent while wearing the cape
and cowl
mm he probably knew it was a bomb before
anyone else and planned to escape with
what dignity he could by looking like
the kid who’s too cool for his role in
the dumb high school play why are all
the gorgeous ones homicidal maniacs
is it me sweet number seven Topher Grace
as Eddie Brock and venom spider-man 3
here’s yet another superhero sequel fail
it makes sense to cast the poor man’s
Tobey Maguire as the yin to Peter
Parker’s yang oh my spider sense is
tingling if you know what I’m talking
about
however when veering so far from the
character in the comics you better be
doing so to accommodate a great actor I
want to kill the spider you want to kill
the spider together he doesn’t stand a
chance so let’s face it Topher is just
too skinny and too whiny in the role to
pull it off you’re so right I’m thinking
humiliation number 6 Vince Vaughn is
Norman Bates psycho well you should want
to say just a little while longer but
just for talk we’re not quite sure why
Gus Van Sant’s saw it necessary to make
a shot-for-shot remake of this Hitchcock
classic but we can’t imagine him
thinking you know that funny guy from
swingers I want to see what he’d do with
this role I know what you’re saying this
movie was made during Vince Vaughn’s I’m
a serious actor period which thankfully
came to a speedy end in large part
thanks to this super creepy super shy
psycho portrayal we all go to mad
sometimes
you shall be known as DAF number five
Veda Hayden Christensen as Anakin
Skywalker Star Wars episodes two and
three all right to begin
there’s tons wrong with the Star Wars
prequels but the greatest sin they
commit is suggesting that the origins of
Darth Vader’s evil lie in his petulant
adolescence
Anakin should have been portrayed as a
sympathetic tragic hero not as a spoiled
teenager he doesn’t understand it’s not
fair but if that’s your angle George
Lucas we guess Christensen was the right
choice because petulant and whiny sums
up every performance he’s ever given you
didn’t give a shit about anything I did
up until now
number four Rosie O’Donnell is Betty
Rubble The Flintstones you have never
been so embarrassed in my entire life
thinking back to 1994 people were
psyched about most of the casting
decisions in the long gestating
Flintstones movie sorry I think it might
be twins
but people had a real problem with the
choice of Rosie O’Donnell as Betty
Rubble really and what would that be
it’s no damn good the fact is Betty’s
one of those cartoons like Jessica
Rabbit the guys fantasize about one day
we’re gonna look back on all this and
we’ll laugh and well the nicest thing
you could say about O’Donnell is that
she does the Betty laughs whoa
number three Denise Richards as
Christmas Jones the world is not enough
so hasn’t a Tongan rapture present
Denise Richards playing a nuclear
physicist requires a superhuman
suspension of disbelief not even fans of
the Bond franchise are capable of don’t
make any jokes have heard them all
sure she was hot at the time right in
the thick of the wild things forever and
there’s no doubt the producers hired her
to draw in the maxim crowd but come on
did her character need a PhD GED we
believe I played a nucular psychiatrist
in a James Bond movie
who’s your father I’ll give you a hint
he’s a town number two
Sophia Coppola as Mary Corleone The
Godfather Part three
in 1985 John Huston directed his
daughter Angelica to an oscar-winning
performance in Prizzi’s honor I got a
reputation to live up in 1990 Francis
Ford Coppola directed his daughter
Sophia to crush what might have been
history’s greatest film saga with the
lumbering weight of her wooden
performance imagine what might have been
had Madonna Julia Roberts or Winona
Ryder played the role why am I doing
this because despite her accomplishments
Sofia Coppola is still atoning for The
Godfather Part 3 you don’t have to do
this to me please your treacherous head
is not safe on your shoulders number 1
John Wayne as Genghis Khan the Conqueror
bring me great is it an overstatement to
say that casting all-american John Wayne
as 12th century Mongolian Emperor
Genghis Khan was the craziest thing
producer Howard Hughes ever did let’s
hear no more of this I’ve made great
conquests trading Wayne’s cowboy hat for
a silly mustache wasn’t enough to make
him credible could it be that this woman
has touched your wits as will sharpen
the more likely the Wayne himself
petitioned heavily for the part this
casting decision is so bizarre it sends
you running to your computer to verify
if it’s actually true you lie do you
agree or disagree with our list
where’s sink alike can you think of any
catastrophic casting failures on the
part of Hollywood that would be in your
top 10 hey be sure to let us know and
