Demetri Martin

 

  1. Will Ferrell, Melinda and Melinda, 2003.  It’s Autumn 20023 and, naturally, Woody Allen is embarking on his annual movie. Except he cannot get insurance cover for his stars, Downey and Winona Ryder.  (Because of his drugs history and her infamous shoplifting charges). The ever unfunny Ferrell and Australian Radha Mitchell replaced them. Woody  had also considered the Big Apple stand-up-with-a-guitar. By 2021, he had won 26 screen roles (including voices off). roles. 
  2. Jonah Hill, Moneyball, 2010.   Three days before shooting was to start on June 22, 2009, the Columbia Pictures Studio co-chairman, Amy Pascal, canceled it.. No way to treat Steven Soderbergh! But then she said his re-writes was no way to treat her and the project she had OKed. New York director Bennett Miller took over (Hill succeeding Conan O’Brien writer Martin) and it became the second Brad Pitt film to be up for a Best Picture Oscar on  February 26, 2012.
