Apocalypse Now : Robert Redford as backup for Marlon Brando as Kurtz, LOLOL

Robert Redford as backup for Marlon Brando as Kurtz, LOLOL

this is almost as bad as the fact the studio wanted Warren Beatty to play Al Pacino's part of Michael in The Godfather.

Brando was perfect in this because he was in fact the end of the line. in person and in the movie.

I guess they wanted Elliott Gould to play Hopper's part?

I always get freaked out about near-casting decisions of classic films.

Lee Marvin would have been an interesting Kurtz.
