5/24/2023 0 Comments Sean bean picturesAt 22 on-screen deaths, Bean doesn't even make the top 10, and with Trejo continuing to stay busy, it seems likely that he will only build his lead in the decades to come. Most of the actors on the list have simply appeared in a lot of action or horror films, while Bean has been more selective in the film roles he takes. A study cited in The Independent found that Danny Trejo, a Robert Rodrigeuz favorite, has died the most, with 65 on-screen fatalities, beating out Christopher Lee's 60 and Lance Henrickson's 51. Representatives for Roberts did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Despite the frequent jokes about his characters' deaths, Bean isn't even close to the record. "Instead, I've observed from afar as her work grew in depth and stature. "I've never spoken to Julia again," Zwick wrote. Zwick wrote that Roberts' manager confirmed to him that Roberts "had flown back to the US and that she was leaving the project." He described it as a massive blow, as he learned from Tom Pollock, the head of Universal at the time, that the company had already spent $6 million on the project. He added that at the time she was "shacking up" with the actor's close friend Jason Patric, which became tabloid fodder. Zwick also said the actor was going through a difficult period in her personal life, having recently called off her wedding to Kiefer Sutherland. The next morning when I called her room, I was told she had checked out." "But I would never get to talk her off the ledge. "Having only recently been catapulted to the dizzying heights atop the Hollywood food chain, she must have been terrified to fail," he continued. Julia Roberts and Ralph Fiennes, pictured with 60th Annual Tony Awards in 2006, had a disastrous chemistry read, according to Zwick. The producer added, "Sensing Julia's discomfort, I tried to be encouraging, but she must have intuited my unease, and I made the tragic mistake of underestimating her insecurity." From the moment she began to speak it was clear she hadn't been working on the accent," Zwick said. "But once she began to say the words, something was wrong. "On the morning of the test, Julia emerged from makeup, looking radiant in full period costume," he wrote. Zwick said that was when he realized Roberts wasn't cut out for the role - despite receiving lessons from the dialect coach Joan Washington, she couldn't do a convincing British accent. Zwick said that it went disastrously and that two weeks went by before Roberts agreed to test with the actor Paul McGann. Zwick said that after Day-Lewis reiterated that he couldn't play the part, as he was committed to filming another movie, "In the Name of the Father," Roberts reluctantly read opposite Ralph Fiennes, whose brother Joseph Fiennes would eventually land the part. "Julia found fault with all of them: one was stiff, another wasn't romantic, and so on," Zwick, who also directed "Legends of the Fall," recalled. Zwick recalled the difficulty he had getting the movie off the ground, saying Universal Pictures decided to back the project only when the " Pretty Woman" star signed on to play the film's heroine, Viola de Lesseps.īut Zwick said that as Roberts was set on having Daniel Day-Lewis - who was unavailable - play opposite her as the titular bard, she ended up "sabotaging" her chemistry reads with the bevy of up-and-coming actors Zwick considered for the role, including Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, and Sean Bean. The producer, Edward Zwick, recently published a first-person essay for Air Mail all about the making of the 1998 film, which went on to gross nearly $300 million and took home seven Academy Awards, including best actress for Roberts' replacement, Gwyneth Paltrow. Julia Roberts pulled out of shooting the Oscar-winning movie " Shakespeare in Love" after one of the film's producers criticized her attempt at a British accent, the producer said.
