So was the Fishbourne part originally written for Schwarzenegger?


I remember hearing that they were tying to get him for this movie in a limited role.

Maybe. But it would have been such a different character. Can't see Arnie playing such a wacko.

reply

Didn’t Fishburne become a villain? He tried to eat them?

They couldn’t use Arnold that way. He’s too much of a fan favorite to play that role.

reply

They modified the role when Arnie declined it. I specifically remember he was supposed to be living on the planet after being captured sometime after the events of the first film

I remember they tried to get Schwarzenegger to take part in Predator 2 with Danny Glover in a limited capacity but he turned them down. Could you be thinking of that?

reply

I remember hearing that as well, but no, im definitely remembering that he was supposed to be living in the jungle for this project.

What I read is that the script called for Dutch to show up in one of the predators' ships to rescue them

The suggestion (which I find stupid) is that Dutch is now working with them in some capacity
