Johnny depp and Hayden Christensen


Does anyone else remember when this movie listed Johnny and Hayden? It was like...one or two years ago or something. I guess the production had to be halted for some reason and the johnny and hayden couldn't be in it anymore because of scheduling

When Johnny and Hayden were originally signed to do it, I heard it was pulled because of lack of funding not scheduling conflicts though that would make more sense

You're kidding right? When have YOU heard that 2 big stars would do a small budget indie movie? Think about it before you say anything! If you believed that, then you believe there are small little green men in New Jersey...wel..OK, they might be..but they're not aliens. Think before you write a message board!

I'm guessing here, but these are plausible possibilites: Hayden Christianson at the time wanted to do indie films to work against him being typecast as only appropriate for roles similar to Anaken Skywalker. Johnny Depp either wanted to work with Michael Corrente (cool guy, directed Outside Providence) or Terrance Winter (REALLY good writer who's done a lot of work on the Sopranos). Throw Alec Baldwin in there and I'd think it would be tempting to work on this production no matter how famous you are.
