Bill Murrayis the big cameo in horror comedy Zombieland it was easily the most unexpected and hilarious surprise in the movie! Fans completely reversed that moment, but it turns out Murray wasn’t the creative team’s first choice.
Over the years, numerous names have been revealed as potential alternatives to Murray, including Patrick Swayze, who reportedly couldn’t do this due to his health problems. He died the same month the film was released in theaters.
Other names that have been raised include Jean claude van damme, Sylvester Stallone, Dwayne Johnson, Kevin BaconAnd Marco Hamill. But there is also another legendary actor who was asked to be in the movie before Murray, and that actor is. Joe Pesci. writer Rhett Reese reminded us of this on Twittersaid:
“We wanted Joe Pesci for what turned out to be Bill Murray’s role in Zombieland. We warned the Pisces agent that he was a small part. He said, ‘There are no small parts, just small money.’ It was a no. “
Even though I loved Murray’s look in the film, Joe Pesci would have been great to see him too! The creative team would have had a lot of fun! It’s actually one of those “what if” scenarios that I would have liked to see. You can actually read the pages of the script they wrote for the Pisces scene here.
