It’s almost hard to imagine anyone else doing Bill Cutting in place of the legendary Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York, or Tim Robbins’ Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption but Hollywood veteran Tom Hanks came pretty close to playing several iconic characters including Cutting and Dufresne. The actor was also in negotiation to play one of Keanu Reeves’ roles.

Of course, it’s not John Wick, it would have been kind of weird seeing Hanks as John Wick, as for fans, Reeves was immersed in the character and he is now hard to replace. But Hanks almost booked the slot of the 1994 hit action thriller, Speed. But the role eventually went to the John Wick star.

'Twister' director Jan de Bont is adamant the disaster movie "cannot be remade".De Bont helmed the 1996 original starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt about a storm chasers caught up in a tornado which wreaks havoc across Oklahoma and the film is being revived for a sequel called 'Twisters' which is reportedly set after the events of the original but the moviemaker is adamant the use of CGI will make it a very different film.He told Inverse.com: "When things fell from the sky, there were real things falling from a helicopter. If you film a car escaping a tornado in a hail storm, it was real ice that came at us. It’s a movie that cannot be remade … That would never, ever happen again."De Bont added: "Every shot was a fortune. It would take three days to transfer all that information onto film.

Bruce Willis has never been one to shy away from roles that would require him to tackle some seriously madcap stunts. The series that immediately comes to mind is "Die Hard" of course, beginning with the very first installment, which premiered in 1988. It was a movie that completely rejuvenated the action film genre and kick-started Willis' career as the new everyman face of action heroes. But it also helped define the actor's appeal towards doing all his own stunts — and he couldn't have picked a better movie to learn a thing or two about the ins and outs of those dangers.
After all, most "Die Hard" films are themselves a veritable smorgasbord of visual effects mixed with seemingly perilous stunt work. But the first film in the series set the bar so high that subsequent films had a pretty hard time topping it while also keeping the realism factor well below "Fast & Furious.
