One Stephen King adaptation from the 1990s would have been a very different film if it had starred John Candy, which was the original plan.
Per CinemaBlend, the Scream Factory Blu-ray release of the 1996 movie Thinner included a commentary track with producer Mitchell Galin sharing some new insight into the film. According to Galin, John Candy was the first choice to play the film's lead character. In fact, an offer was sent out to Candy prior to the beloved actor's death in 1994, but he was apparently not interested. Galin isn't exactly sure why Candy declined the film, noting how he didn't "care" too much and quickly moved forward with the production.

"We did reach out to [John] Candy’s people," the producer said.

In August 1988, Steven Soderbergh shot his first narrative feature film, “sex, lies, and videotape,” in one month with a budget $1.2 million. Five months later, it premiered at the U.S. Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where it won the first-ever Audience Award. A few months after that, it screened at Cannes and won the Palme d’Or over “Do the Right Thing.” “sex, lies, and videotape” hit theaters in August 1989, a year after it went into production, and earned over $36 million worldwide. The rest is history.

Bad Ass Trailer, AC Bus Fight Video, Hitler’s Response. Craig Moss‘ Bad Ass (2012) teaser trailer stars Danny Trejo, Charles S. Dutton, Ron Perlman, Donzaleigh Abernathy, and David A. Arnold. Bad Ass‘ plot synopsis: “Decorated Vietnam hero Frank Vega returns home only to get shunned by society leaving him without a job or his high school sweetheart. It’s not until forty years later when an incident on a commuter bus (where he protects an elderly black man from a pair of skin heads) makes him a local hero where he’s suddenly celebrated once again. But his good fortune suddenly turns for the worse when his best friend Klondike is murdered and the police aren’t doing anything about it.”
