• What Could Have Been:
  • Adrien Brody and Joaquin Phoenix were considered to play Lincoln and Henry respectively. Brody was one of the final choices before losing out to Benjamin Walker while Phoenix turned down the role to do The Master. With Phoenix's penchant for Method Acting, the film could have been somewhat Crazy Is Cool.
  • Tom Hardy was approached for the title role of Lincoln, but had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts with The Dark Knight Rises. Other candidates included Eric Bana and Timothy Olyphant.
  • Trent Reznor was approached about scoring and playing a minor part in the film, but the news leaked before the final decision and Reznor voted to pass on the project as the surprise element of his participation had already been lost.
