According to Syfy.com, it was originally thought that Al Pacino would play the role eventually filled by Washington. Per the report, “When Pacino decided to make The Insider with Michael Mann instead, Harrison Ford and Sean Connery were suggested by Universal Pictures. In addition, the studio floated Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman for the Amelia [Angelina Jolie] role.”
However, director Phillip Noyce was adamant that the roles go to Washington and Jolie, and the rest, as they say, is history.
I personally know what I’ll be watching (with the lights on) tonight. The Bone Collector is streaming now on Prime Video.
