Top 10 movie roles that were recast: No.8 - Tobey Maguire to Rafe Spall in Life of PiLast year saw the release of the critically acclaimed movie Life of Pi, which became a huge hit and grossed over $600m worldwide. While the star of the movie was clearly Suraj Sharma, Life of Pi also saw a good turn from British actor Rafe Spall but he almost wasn't in the movie.
Director Ang Lee originally cast Tobey Maguire in the role of the writer in Life of Pi and Tobey even filmed all the scenes for the movie. Unfortunately though, Ang Lee felt that Tobey Maguire's star presence took something away from the film, so decided that a lesser known actor would be more suited.
Ang Lee said of the recasting, "I love Tobey. But it's a small part, so when it's a movie star sitting there, it captures attention. It didn't really work out." Rafe Spall was then brought on board and all the scenes were reshot with Rafe, before the release of Life of Pi.

Tobey Maguire rocks a pair of shades as he makes his way back to his car after leaving a friends house on Saturday (June 29) in Malibu, Calif.

Kristen Wiig Finds The Spoils Of BabylonSome miniseries (heck, some drama series) become such parodies of themselves and their genre that it’s almost not worth anyone trying to spoof them. That’s not the attitude taken by the brave souls at The Spoils Of Babylon, who have rounded up a killer cast that includes Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig, Tobey Maguire, Jessica Alba, Hayley Joel Osment, Michael Sheen, Tim Robbins and Val Kilmer.
As for what it’s all about? The series is “based” on fictional bestseller pumped out by equally fake author Eric Johnrosh (Ferrell). We’re not sure we can do better than the press release, so take it away… “The Spoils Of Babylon, a century-spanning saga, chronicles the sexy and dramatic lives of the Morehouse family, led by Jonas Morehouse (Robbins), his daughter Cynthia (Wiig) and her adopted brother Devon (Maguire) who made their fortune in the oil business,” it says.
“The series takes viewers from the oil fields of Texas to boardrooms in New York City, through war torn battlefields and velvet-sheeted bedrooms. Cynthia and Devon’s unbridled and taboo passion for one another cannot be prevented. Add in Cynthia’s evil son Winston (Osment), her put upon husband Chet Halner (Sheen), and Devon’s new love interest Dixie Mellonworth (Alba), and the booze, the pills, more passion, more pills and the heartache, and you have a mercurial potboiler. Then add in illegal arms deals, international espionage, the Shah of Iran (Ferrell), and two U.S. Army generals (Kilmer, Steve Tom) and it begins to overflow with boiling liquid in a pot on a hot stove that is operational.”
The six-episode series will be produced by the Funny Or Die gang and shown on US cable channel IFC next year (hopefully with a UK channel picking it up before too long…)
