Carrie-Anne Moss

  1. Courteney Cox, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, 1993.      Considered alongside Lauren Holly and Tea Leoni for the hero’s main squeeze – named Melissa,  after the daughter of  the original scripter Jack Bernstein.
  2. Daphne Ashbrook, Doctor Who (The Movie), TV, 1996.    
  3. Kristanna Loken, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, 2003.      Inevitable, tiny-minded thought for the Terminatrix hunting Arnold following her action success in The Matrix films.
  4. Carla Gugino, Sin City, 2004.     Directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller also looked at Ashley Judd, Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman and Naomi Watts for  Lucille in their  “live” comic-strip.
  5. Laurie Holden, Silent Hill, 2005.    The producers asked her to be Cybil – and she proved avialable only six years later for Claudia in Silent Hill: Revelation 3D.
  6. Keri Russell,Mission: Impossible III, 2006.    Tom Cruise postponed M:I III for a year, losing both his leading ladies – Moss and Scarlett Johansson – due to his script hassles and their increasingly hectic schedules.
