I went to great lengths to prove to the production that my voice is nigh on the same as it was in the original film. I feel I have been fobbed off with the same excuse. The reason given was that his voice is now too old. I received my letter of dismissal the day before it was announced that the ‘Lone Free Ranger’ had been axed from the sequel and that the character of Rocky was to be re-voiced. However, they stated “We will be going ahead to re-cast the voice of Ginger”. Today I received a very kind and thoughtfully written response from one of the creatives, outlining their decision, most notably saying “Some of the voices (not yours, I agree) definitely sound older”. I am passionate about my work and I don’t go down without a fight, so I did my own voice test at home and sent it to the producers, which you can view here. Usually in these circumstances, an actress would be given the chance to do a voice test in order to determine the suitability of their pitch and tone, I however was not given this opportunity. The reason they gave is that my voice now sounds ‘too old’ and they want a younger actress to reprise the role. Johnson will now reprise his character, Luke Hobbs, in his own spinoff movie, which will lead directly into the events of "Fast 11.Last week I was informed out of the blue, via email, through my agent that I would not be cast as Ginger in the Chicken Run sequel. Despite this major rift between them, it seems they were able to come to some sort of arrangement when Johnson made a surprise, uncredited appearance in "Fast X" after sitting the ninth movie out. Diesel even posted an impassioned social media post practically begging Johnson to return, which Johnson wrote off as a prime example of the type of manipulation that drove him away from working with Diesel in the first place. Even before his departure, "The Fate of the Furious" had been made with Diesel and Johnson's characters never sharing a single scene together, and Johnson's "Hobbs and Shaw" spinoff was made entirely without Diesel's participation.īoth in private and in public, Diesel attempted to get Johnson back on board the franchise. but Clarice meant so much to Jonathan and I, she really did, and I know it sounds kind of strange to say but there was no way that either of us could really trample on her."īut a highly-publicized feud between Johnson and Vin Diesel while making "The Fate of the Furious" eventually boiled over and led to Johnson exiting the franchise altogether, much to Diesel's chagrin. She told Total Film, "The official reason I didn't do 'Hannibal' is I was doing another movie. The reason why so much of the core creative team chose not to return for the sequel largely came down to the source material, with Harris's follow-up novel being of a drastically different caliber than his "Red Dragon" and "The Silence of the Lambs" books.Īt the time, Foster chalked up her refusal to simple scheduling conflicts, but she later revealed that she felt the plot of "Hannibal" disrespected the Clarice character. Ted Tally, who won an Oscar for writing the adapted screenplay of "The Silence of the Lambs," was also replaced. Taking over for Demme in the director's chair was Ridley Scott. He told IndieWire, "We never really talked about it."Ĭlarice Starling remained the main protagonist of "Hannibal" opposite the titular Hannibal Lecter, but she was now played by Julianne Moore instead of Foster. Shortly ahead of shooting, Owen said he had never been asked about reprising his role as Dwight. It certainly helped that it was cheaper and easier to just use one actor instead of two. It seems like the perfect setup to have Owen finish the last stretch of the movie, and that was actually the original plan, but director Robert Rodriguez liked what Brolin did with the character and decided to use Brolin for the whole film. But the problem is that Dwight receives the surgery partway through "A Dame to Kill For," with Brolin donning distracting prosthetics to make him look more like Owen. Originally played by Clive Owen, the role was instead taken over by Josh Brolin, with his change in appearance justified by the character undergoing facial reconstruction surgery to look completely different. The recasting of Dwight, however, was a bit more of a head-scratcher. Recasting Manute with Dennis Haysbert was an unfortunate necessity after the sad passing of original actor Michael Clarke Duncan.
