this seems like it would have been an especially risky choice for both eddie murphy and the star trek franchise, but considering murphy’s box office clout in 1986, audiences would have probably followed him anywhere. he made the golden child instead, his first misstep as a lead actor. the film was despised by critics but eddie murphy had such a fervent fanbase at the time that golden child was still a minor box office success. it’s likely this audience would have also followed him to star trek and made this installment of the franchise a bigger hit than it was without him. this would have continued murphy’s dominance of the movie industry, while preventing him from losing a little ground with the golden child .
plot: a remake of the 1953 film, where a boy battles martians who have taken over his parents and threaten to destroy the world .
rather than going to an orphanage 12 - year old david was sent, instead, to a scientific facility so as to further their research on david' s skill in extrasensory perception. through this gift david earlier learned of an african prophesy of a white boy to be their “son of the moon” god and he believed that he may be that child. but at this scientific facility david learned that this may not be so and with a couple whom he had befriended at the facility made their escape, heading toward africa where david' s fate awaits him. enrique saldana plays david, and considering this was his first film appearance, he did a good job. although the film was long, about two hours, it could have been shortened somewhat without losing any of its zest. but in spite of this i still enjoyed the film .
plot: a troubled teen (christian slater) forms a friendship with a reclusive ex - astronaut (martin sheen). eventually, sheen introduces slater to a secret he discovered on the moon .
since ancient times, a tribe on the african continent has been prophesying that a white boy will arrive to be their god: the son of the moon. david, a 12 - year - old orphan who lives in europe, learns about the prophecy and believes that he is the chosen child and that destiny must be fulfilled at any cost. before david can fulfill his prophecy he must escape the heavily guarded scientific organization that has adopted him. david' s strange behavior and the fact that he possesses extrasensory perception, has attracted the attention of an organization researching so - called
prodigious beings
in the occult tradition. david soon discovers that their goal is to channel the moon' s energy into a child yet to be born, robbing him of his rightful place as the son of the moon. two women, victoria, a member of the center, and georgina, the future mother of the supposed moonchild, will help david fulfill his destiny. after several attempts david manages to escape the center and undergoes a series ...
film, in which simian roddy mcdowall attempts to peacefully coexist with conquered humanity. but not everyone goes along with the plan, especially with an impending nuclear threat .
as the 1989 film tongues untied – still so relevant today – points out, it is common for black gay men to internalize a fear of one another and to buy into a push that we ought to flee into the arms of a white gay man. like worshipping a brad pitt - like portrait of jesus christ in church, it is easy for black gay men to internalize society’s pressure to idealize white men and believe that salvation can be had by being closer to whiteness .
this is a good movie this it is about this one boy. he is called the moon child and he has the power of the moon he can move things with his eyes. that may not be word for word what that call it. later this boy and girl go to africa and there is this boy one thing that puzzles me i do not know if it is an african thing or not but the two boys tap each others tongues to each others. i missed a bit i had to read the subtitles and some times i was to slow just warning you there are about 2 nudity parts in it. on his voyage he does not use his powers much .
spainís augusti villaronga followed up his fearsome masterpiece in a glass cage with this highly ambitious mystical fantasy. the film has many shortcomings, but its nightmarish aura is quite arresting .
plot: a television series based on the explorations of colonel ed mccauley. the show attempted to show the real qualities of space, instead of the typical characteristics of a science fiction film .
eddie murphy was considered to play the villain this low budget horror film that ended up being a surprise success. i doubt the filmmakers would have even been able to afford murphy, as his salary at the time was likely almost double the film’s shoestring $ 8 million budget. playing a bad guy in a horror film would have shown off murphy’s diversity as an actor, but his own efforts in the horror genre — vampire in brooklyn, the haunted mansion — rank amongst his worst - received films. it’s probably for the best that murphy only made two horror movies; a third could have killed his career .
plot: semi - sequel to the 1956 film. this one is set in san francisco, where the
seeds
from outer space are duplicating and destroying the bay area residents at an alarming rate .
another gift jenkins gives not just to american cinema, but to american culture, is that he depicts black boyhood as something worthy of rooting for to succeed. it is not especially difficult to make white boyhood precious. in the 2014 movie boyhood, director richard linklater encouraged the audience to hold as precious and unique mason, a banal and totally average white american child who existed in an imaginary nearly all - white texas. mason and his friend engage in petty vandalism, and also drink and drive – and yet, mason, “no angel”, was excused and held dear in a way a black child never would be .
casting is one of the most important processes in movie making. placing the right actors in the right roles can determine whether or not an entire film rings true. thus, casting directors and filmmakers consider a variety of possibilities before going into production. lost roles is a weekly series that examines the missed opportunities — the roles that could have been — and explores how some casting choices that almost happened could have changed the film industry and the comedy world, at large .

paramount bought the rights to this pulitzer prize - winning august wilson play in 1987 at eddie murphy’s urging, with the understanding that he would produce and act in the film adaptation. murphy, then 26, wanted to play the main character’s son, a high school athlete. he ended up leaving the project, and a film version of the play has yet to come together. like malcolm x and driving miss daisy, this was another chance for murphy to establish himself as a respected dramatic actor and a potential awards contender .
plot: considered to be the worst film ever made. hilariously bad, it attempts to deliver an antiwar message as well as thrills and chills, but does not succeed. i watched the whole thing, and i' m still not sure what the plot is .
jenny lewis started acting at a young age, appearing in commercials and tv movies, and making her television debut in a 1985 episode of the twilight zone. she acted throughout the late ’80s and early ’90s, with projects including episodes of the golden girls, growing pains, and roseanne, and the 1989 movie troop beverly hills. lewis successfully pivoted to music in the late ’90s as a part of rilo kiley and continues to lead a successful solo career, seeing critical acclaim with her 2014 album, the voyager .
even in the film’s uplifting moments, it is depressing that everyone in chiron’s life is either dead or living under some form of state surveillance. jenkins deals with this deftly, without being heavy - handed or dismissive, and makes the characters no less worthy of our support .
plot: the most highly regarded sci - fi film of the 1950s. a futuristic space mission lands on the planet altair - 4 and finds a doctor and his daughter, who are all that remain from a previous colonization attempt, and an unseen force that does not welcome them .
plot: the third film in the alien trilogy. ripley (sigourney weaver) crash - lands on a planet where an old mining facility is used as a penal colony for madmen and rapists. the evil alien has once again stowed away on ripley' s ship, and battles ensues .
when this film was originally conceived in the mid - 1980s, it was set up as a project for david bowie and mick jagger, who had wanted to do a movie together. jagger and bowie dropped out and eddie murphy was briefly attached before he passed and steve martin signed on .
in 1985, a young sean astin made his big - screen debut as mikey walsh in the goonies. then an unknown 14 - year - old actor with just tv movie credits to his name, astin led the film that would later become a cult classic. he kept busy with film projects throughout the ’80s and ’90s and earned acclaim for his turn as samwise gamgee in the lord of the rings series. in recent years, astin has filled his resume with voice work, lending his vocals to tv shows such as sofia the first, teenage mutant ninja turtles, and bunnicula .
corey feldman started acting when he was a child, appearing in commercials and making tv cameos. he got his big break in 1979 however, when, at the age of 8, he debuted as regi tower in the bad news bears. feldman filled his resume with tv and film roles throughout the ’80s and ’90s, and branched out with an attempt at a music career. in recent years, feldman released a book, coreyography: a memoir, which followed his friendship with the late corey haim, feldman’s public struggle with substance abuse, and his life growing up in the spotlight. he still acts, lending his voice to teenage mutant ninja turtles as slash and appearing in indie movies .
it’s the story of a love quadrangle, a child, a theater troupe, and a long winter. nathalie is pregnant, but the baby’s father, stefane, leaves her for sabine, a set designer for the theater. sabine has just left bruno, an actor in the same troupe. nathalie tries to kill herself and is saved by her friend leni, as stefane then follows sabine on her theatrical tour ...
while picking beverly hills cop over ghostbusters was a smart decision on murphy’s part, if he had somehow been able to balance the shooting schedules of these two films, it would have turned him into the biggest movie star in the world. taking part in ghostbusters would have also secured him a role in 1989’s ghostbusters ii. although the sequel isn’t held in high esteem by fans and critics, it was still a financial success. adding these two hits to his resume would have helped eddie murphy to better withstand the career slump he went through in the early ‘90s and kept him a first choice for casting agents, directors, and studio execs .
gaining experience through tv movies and small - screen cameo gigs, kirk cameron became a household name thanks to his turn as mike seaver on growing pains from 1985 to 1992. the child star then got his own spin - off with the short - lived kirk and soon turned his focus to religious work. the star, who is an evangelical born - again christian, largely restricts his on - screen work to projects that align with his faith, such as 2008’s fireproof and 2014’s saving christmas .
tracey gold started appearing on the small screen when she was just 7 years old. at the age of 16, she became a star with her role of carol seaver on growing pains. she starred on the sitcom for seven years and continued her tv work throughout the ’90s and 2000s. gold wrote about her experience as a child star, as well as her well - publicized battle with an eating disorder, in the 2003 book, room to grow: an appetite for life, and has made recent appearances in tv movies .
while she picked up early roles in the dean martin show and gunsmoke, melissa gilbert is best known for her 1978 debut as laura ingalls on little house on the prairie. she appeared on the original series for nine years, also reprising the role for tv movies. gilbert is still acting decades later — recently appearing as lisa daly on secrets and lies — but has shifted her focus as of late. the former child star announced in august 2015 that she was running for u. s. congress in michigan’s 8th congressional district in the 2016 election .
with a career lasting over three decades, eddie murphy has his fair share of film parts he came close to playing. i know what you’re wondering, and yes, there are roles eddie murphy has turned down. every major actor has a roster of missed opportunities and close calls, even — how shall i put this — those who are “less selective. ” here’s a rundown of eddie’ murphy’s lost roles .
the first time i saw moonlight, i was worried that it could create a dangerous takeaway message: that if black gay men want to lead full lives, they should try to escape from the violence of other black men and into the arms of whiteness. a reading of the film to that point could be saying that chiron’s precious boyhood could not be trusted to other black boys and men and might better be nurtured elsewhere .
following appearances in two episodes of the twilight zone, danica mckellar snagged her second onscreen gig as winnie cooper in the wonder years. the child star played winnie for five years, going on to spend her late childhood and teens in front of the camera. mckellar, whose recent credits include voice work on transformers: rescue bots and phineas and ferb, earned a bachelor of science in mathematics from ucla in the late ’90s and authored four books on math in recent years, including 2009’s kiss my math: showing pre - algebra who’s boss, and 2012’s girls get curves: geometry takes shape .
viewers first met ricky schroder in 1979, when the then - child star appeared alongside jon voight and faye dunaway in the champ. after a handful of other big - screen turns, schroder hit the small screen as ricky stratton on silver spoons. he grew up in front of the camera, spending five years on the sitcom from 1982 to 1987. he filled his filmography over the next two decades, playing dr. dylan west on strong medicine and mike doyle on 24. he made a cameo as himself in 2010’s get him to the greek and stepped behind the camera with directing and production company work .
after picking up early gigs in tv movies, soleil moon frye became a bona fide star at the age of 7, when she nabbed the lead role in punky brewster. frye played the title character from 1984 to 1988 and continued to spend her childhood acting with cameos in tv shows like the wonder years and saved by the bell. decades later, frye still occasionally acts, lending her voice to animated series like planet sheen and robot chicken through 2014. now the mother to three children with a fourth on the way, frye also co - founded moonfrye, a kids crafts company .
the same week moonlight opened, a sign commemorating emmett till, murdered for whistling at a white woman, was riddled with bullet holes – a 14 - year - old still considered suspect, six decades after being lynched. but white boys, like boyhood’s mason, are considered innocent by default. as we saw the same actor, ellar coltraine, grow up on film over 12 years, we were encouraged to see him as the future of america, worth protecting .
lukas haas spent his childhood in front of the camera, making big - screen turns in 1983’s testament and 1985’s witness, in addition to other tv and film projects. he filled his filmography with dozens of roles in the ’90s and 2000s and, in recent years, was featured as a part of critically acclaimed films. haas appeared alongside leonardo dicaprio, joseph gordon - levitt, ellen page, and tom hardy in 2010’s inception, and reunited with dicaprio for the 2015 release of the revenant .
the film moonlight is extraordinary for many reasons, but to me it is most so for two. first, it considers black boys to be precious, at a time when news stories perpetually make it seem as if the united states considers them to be utterly expendable. second, it acknowledges the effects that the stalking ghosts of premature death and incarceration have upon gay black masculinity – and it manages to do so without ever diminishing the lives full of complex humanity that black gay men still manage to have in america while navigating that reality .
eddie murphy admitted to passing on roger rabbit, saying he had thought it would be a disaster. he now regrets the decision and says he “feels like ‘an idiot’ every time he sees it. ” although murphy missed out on a major hit, i don’t think roger rabbit would have worked as well with him playing eddie valiant. considering murphy’s r - rated persona in the ‘80s, i was surprised disney offered this to him. eddie murphy’s presence couldn’t have hurt the film too much, though, as he was much more famous than actual star bob hoskins at the time, and he could have given roger rabbit an extra boost at the box office .
the film’s director, frank oz, managed to pull two great performances out of murphy a decade later in bowfinger. if oz could get murphy to do so well in the late ‘90s, there’s no doubt the two would have worked together well during murphy’s ’80s heyday. although steve martin replaced murphy in the role, i think this really could have worked with martin as the stuffy character that michael caine ended up playing and murphy in the role that went to martin. it could have been a big hit and it would have certainly been more satisfying than the unnecessary beverly hills cop and 48 hrs. rehashes that populated eddie murphy’s filmography in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s .
if eddie murphy had landed the grinch part, it could have thrown jim carrey’s career off track. the grinch was a huge hit for jim carrey, proving he still had it and that his movies could still attract big crowds. the grinch was jim carrey coming up for air to make a sure - fire hit in between endangering his career with risky roles in man on the moon and the majestic. neither of those films ended up being commercial successes, and without the grinch to back himself up, carrey might have seen his career take a downturn. studios likely wouldn’t have felt confident enough to cast him as the lead in bruce almighty, if his most recent hit had been in the 90s, and another actor could have taken that part. bruce almighty was the gasp for commercial air that kept carrey’s career breathing while he plunged back into the less - commercial depths to make eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. without that part, his career may have been dead in the water .
murphy, a close personal friend of richard pryor’s, who cast pryor in his directorial debut harlem nights, seems like he would have been a solid choice to play the comedian. it’s going to be hard to please us pryor fans with any actor playing him, but i feel like murphy was a respectable selection and he showed in his stand - up film raw that he has pryor’s voice, cadence, and mannerisms down. i’m dubious about the marlon wayans casting, but he reportedly gave a 13 - minute screen test that impressed the producers, with some claiming he “transforms into pryor. ” time will tell if this project ever sees the light of day, as bill condon recently put it on hold to direct parts one and two of breaking dawn, the final two installments in the twilight franchise .
studio executives considered casting bette midler and eddie murphy as the leads in this oscar - winning film. this is perhaps the most shocking entry in murphy’s cache of missed opportunities, and it’s a part i don’t think he was ready to pull this off at the time. morgan freeman’s age is a big part of his character, and one of the reasons i can’t imagine murphy in this role is that he was so much younger at the time. he was still in his 20s while this one was in production. slotting bette midler in the lead role is another odd notion, although she’s done better with dramatic roles than murphy has. the midler - murphy version of miss daisy would have lacked the critical appeal and effectiveness of the jessica tandy - morgan freeman one that actually came to exist, but if murphy and midler’s performances ended up being good, this may have still been a success and not the disaster that it sounds like .
murphy’s four - year stint at snl was arguably what saved the show from the jaws of cancellation during the non - lorne michaels years, and every cast member and comedy writer who has used the show as a springboard to fame since owes their career to eddie murphy. he dominated the show, appearing in nearly every sketch and introducing a bevy of hilarious characters and impressions. his comedic persona was surprisingly well - formed for someone who was only 19 when he joined snl. murphy’s first few movies, too, were just as strong as his snl work. 48 hrs. , trading places, and beverly hills cop were all massive blockbusters and critically - acclaimed comedies too, each one funnier and more financially successful than the one before it. murphy’s early career had some real momentum going, more so than any film comedian i can think of at the start of their career. can you name someone who starred in three great movies right off the bat, without a slip - up? if eddie murphy’s entire career had gone as well as those first five years did, then he would without a doubt be deserving of icon status .
driving miss daisy was well - received at the time, scoring a boatload of oscars and nominations, including a best picture win. while this wouldn’t likely have happened with midler and murphy as the leads, i doubt the presence of those actors could have steered the project too far off course. driving miss daisy may have still ended up acclaimed by critics and this could have been a transitional role for eddie murphy, allowing him to take on more highbrow and dramatic fare and helping him to bypass his fart - heavy mid - ’90s family film comeback. hell, driving miss daisy was so beloved that murphy’s trading places costar dan aykroyd even received an oscar nom for best supporting actor for his work here. it was the first - ever oscar nomination for an ex - snl star, long before bill murray’s turn in lost in translation or murphy’s own in dreamgirls. maybe murphy could have earned himself a nomination if he had been cast in this role. tom hanks and robin williams both pulled off the tricky comedy - to - drama transition around the same time, and if murphy had given it his all in driving miss daisy, he may have been able to follow their paths .
back in 2005, before inglourious basterds went into production, actor michael madsen announced to a reporter that quentin tarantino’s cast for the film was to include himself, tim roth, eddie murphy, and adam sandler. while this sounds completely unbelievable and like madsen was just making this up, it is confirmed that roth and madsen were at one point attached and tarantino has said he wanted sandler to play the part that went to eli roth. but eddie murphy’s casting sticks out most, and he’s the one actor madsen mentioned whose involvement hasn’t been confirmed outside of this one interview. tarantino has made a habit of casting forgotten actors and reviving them out of career dry spells (john travolta, pam grier, david carradine, etc .), but eddie murphy still seems a strange choice for this one. tarantino has proven he has a strong eye for casting, and i doubt he would consider murphy unless he had the perfect role for him. it sounds absurd on paper, but maybe tarantino had figured out a great way to use him. this is something that could have revitalized eddie murphy’s career and introduced a new side of him to audiences, but chances are this was just michael madsen feeding the press some misinformation .
