Was James Mason offered to come back as Nemo?


Would've been very cool to have had him return as Nemo in this film even if Herbert Lom was very fine as the character.


Cinema is the memory of life.

Highly doubtful since one was Disney and this one was from Columbia Pictures and I believe they (Columbia) wanted to distinguish there Nemo as different from what James Mason brought to the table (but I agree, it would have been cool to see Mason reprise the role!).
