10 Movies That Were Almost Completely Unrecognisable

The road from script to screen is often a tortured one. There will be numerous rewrites, actor changes, problems with the budget or location and a million other issues. Making any movie, even a terrible one, is punishing work.
So it’s no wonder that movies can morph into something almost unrecognisable from their original concept. A script written as a serious drama can turn into a wacky comedy, or an action vehicle written for Tom Cruise can be retooled for Angelina Jolie instead (check out Salt for more information).
Case in point: Edgar Wright had been planning Ant-Man for a decade, getting as far as pre-production and casting before “creative differences” with Marvel boiled up. His script was hastily rewritten and a new director brought on-board, and it seems little if any of Wright’s input will remain. Likewise The Hobbit was originally planned as two movies with Guillermo del Toro helming. »
