It was actually for Batman Returns, but they ended cutting the character out of the story. They actually had made an action figure in the vague likeness of Wayans and it ended up still being released, though with white skin. The action figure still has this high Kid n' Play hairstyle (with bangs crudely painted on despite not being part of the sculpt) which makes more sense when you realize he was originally going to be a black guy.

Sinatra WAS McClane. But in an earlier adaptation of a novel featuring the same character from a later novel that the actual Die Hard was adapted from.

So Sinatra wasn't McClane in name but the source material/character is the same.

Despite being an adaptation of a novel, Die Hard originally started as a sequel to Commando.

Honestly I don't think he would've been involved with the project that long. I remember that Mark Evanier wrote about the time how, prior to Garfield and Friends (this was in 1987), CBS wanted him to write a cartoon starring Michael Jackson. Evanier went over to Jackson's house to interview him, and Jackson had second thoughts about the cartoon (cause he thought being in a cartoon would harm his rock star status) and wondered if Evanier could do a Michael Jackson cartoon in which Jackson wasn't in it.

No, I mean that they clearly had a different plan in mind going into it, for it to have been specifically Jackson-oriented.

And then through time and pressure(and cocaine), the studio execs got the film as it is today, which I love.

>There were plans for a sequel to WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT titled ROGER RABBIT: THE TOON PLATOON, in which Roger leaves his adoptive parents' house in the Midwest with his human best friend Richie Davenport and travels to Hollywood to search for his biological mother in 1941. He falls in love with struggling toon actress Jessica Krupnick, who is later kidnapped by the Nazis and forced to participate of pro-Nazi propaganda films. Roger and Richie then join the Toon Platoon, a squad of human and cartoon soldiers and fights in the frontlines, rescuing and marrying Jessica and ultimately meeting his father, Bugs Bunny.

>Steven Spielberg felt he could no longer satirize the Nazis after SCHINDLER'S LIST and a new pitch titled WHO DISCOVERED ROGER RABBIT was written, featuring Roger's meteoric rise to stardom, his relationship with Jessica and his struggles with the excess of the Hollywood lifestyle. In this draft, Roger was still Bugs Bunny's illegitimate son, and Jessica was shown to be the daughter of a domineering washed-out actress who refuses to accept that her daughter, a former child start, has grown and lost her "it factor". Despite studio interest, the project ultimately fell apart due to Spielberg's lack of interest.

Martha jumps, seeing MR. DEVANEY walk out from inside their house. He’s the Kent’s landlord. Big guy in his early 50s. Short, cropped red hair. Brown suit. Martha tries to hide her distaste for the man.

MARTHA

No, it isn’t. On the porch, Martha moves Clark past Devaney, toward the front door.

Martha says he has loan from the bank and will pay. Landlord says he doesn't buy it and isn't waiting. Martha realizes what's happening and tries to get inside, but landlord blocks her way. She tells Clark to go inside and not look.

Landlord basicaly tells Martha she can fuck him to cover the rent, she says she'd rather be homeless, he holds her and attempts to force a kiss, she rejects, he gets violent, then kid Clark grabs him by the leg and flinches him several yards with superstrenght. Landlord drives away claiming Clark is the Devil.

CLARK
Stop it!

But Devaney just pushes the boy back:

MR. DEVANEY
Get back in the house!

He continues his aggression on Martha, who tries in vain to fight him off. Clark then lunges at Mr. Devaney -- tackling him OFF THE PORCH --

MARTHA
Clark!

Clark then GRABS MR. DEVANEY AND THROWS HIM, TWENTY YARDS ACROSS THEIR PROPERTY! Devaney lands hard, SKIDDING BACK in the dirt toward the barn. Martha’s horrified as Devaney comes to a stop, dirty and bleeding. He looks over at Clark -- held back now by Martha. The boy is more afraid than anything else. Mr. Devaney is a mess: his eyes wide, terrified:

As I recall they also rumoured Vinnie Jones to play Lobo, but that may have been only because of his association with Guy Ritchie (playing a hitman in both Lock Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels, and in Snatch).

I've honestly always thought that Robin Williams could have made for one of the most terrifying Jokers of all time.

Not by being a make-up smeared anarchist or DAMAGED - I actually figured he'd look a lot like Cesar Romero - but I imagined the way he would PLAY the role would be like some frequently flipping coin: one half his fast-paced, energetic stand-up, the other half a somber, subtly sociopathic performance like the one from One Hour Photo. And he'd smile a smile with absolutely nothing behind the eyes.
