 Forum Posts: 1364 Comments: 153 Reviews: 0 | I had no idea (until I just read about it in the archives) that Keanu was supposed to play the lead in the movie "Shooter". The role went to Mark Wahlberg instead, and I liked the movie enough to buy the DVD. OK, so the plot is a rather typical hero-framed-in-government-conspiracy, but I kinda liked the meat & potatoes personality of Bob Lee Swagger. AND I loved how he cared about his dog (plus I liked that they used a mastiff-mix, as I really love mastiffs).
Anyone know why Ke pulled out / was replaced? | ||
