- Whitaker reportedly withdrew after delays; whether he was to play Howard’s or Cheadle’s role is disputed.
- Ledger was reportedly meant for Phillippe’s role and would improve it, though the character still needs a transitional scene.
- Cusack reportedly withdrew from Dillon’s role; the discussion sees this as a potentially major improvement because the role would be unusual for him.
- Josh Hartnett is suggested for the young cop.
