From 'Serendipity' to 'Legally Blonde,' it's hard to imagine how different some of our favorite films might have ended up with the alternate cast choices.
“Someone who came extremely close was Carla Gugino,” he said, referring to the “Spy Kids” star. “Her audition was spectacular. I ended up casting her in my movie years later, ‘The Space Between Us.’ Claire Forlani came close and I distinctly remember Jennifer Aniston coming in to meet us.”
“She had come to meet with me in good faith without an offer, but we definitely would have made her an offer if she wanted to make it,” he said.In the end, Beckinsale scored the role of Sara, starring alongside Cusack, Jeremy Piven, Molly Shannon, John Corbett, Bridget Moynahan and Eugene Levy in the rom-com classic.
“Kate Beckinsale came in and she did her first reading in an American accent,” he explained. “It was good. Her accent is fine, but for me, I like it when people play close to home. So I felt to get the most access and warmth out of Kate and for it to be more personal she had to just go British.” The New York City-centric rom-com earned $77.5 million at the worldwide box office with a $28 million budget, but in recent years has picked up in popularity thanks to DVD, cable television and streaming services.
