Casting What-Ifs

Approx. transcript time · 00:57:15Read transcript
  • Asked which actor signed on in 2008 and dropped out, the guess is Will Smith, who would have been so good. — Shea Serrano
  • The guess is rejected: it is not Will Smith, though a good guess.
  • The answer, as transcribed, is Shia LeBuff. — Chris Ryan
  • LaBeouf was getting good parts around Disturbia and Eagle Eye, but the movie doesn't work with him because his face is too kiddish, like a child in a suit after Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

Casting What-Ifs

Shia LaBeouf as Seth; Jennifer Lawrence as Jules; Kyle Gass as Officer Michaels

In the discussion (5)
Approx. transcript time · 00:51:59Read transcript
  • Rogen was meant to be Seth but got too old and became Officer Michaels; after about two years without a Seth, Apatow on the Knocked Up set told Jonah to read into a camera and within an hour he was Seth, per a Ringer piece. — Bill Simmons
  • Shia was circled for Seth but was offer-only; it could have been the best thing for his career or the worst for the movie, with Transformers in 2007 changing his path and a bad wig needed to dork him up.
  • An unconfirmed internet claim says Jennifer Lawrence was considered for Jules, the Emma Stone part; she may have been a little young. — Bill Simmons
  • Officer Michaels was originally offered to Kyle Gass of Tenacious D. — Bill Simmons
  • There was little else because it was their crew and they knew who they wanted. — Bill Simmons

  • Timberlake’s existing stardom is credited with helping the movie reach a wider audience. — Bill Simmons
