I love movies that never were. As someone whose job it is to read movie news day in and day out, I'm always coming across casting announcements that never come to pass. Those stories aren't particularly interesting, though, because there's no way to play the "What if?" game. However, when it comes to plausible alternative casting for a film that has been out for years and is already a staple in pop culture, well, the "What if?" game is a lot more interesting. Josh Spector at Comedy.com has gone ahead and done a great round up of "10 Classic Characters That Were Supposed to be Played by Different Comedians." A few of these alternate-universe casting calls I knew about, such as Jon Lovitz and Dana Carvey as the original buddy cop duo in Bad Boys, but a lot of them are new to me.
