re: I just read Kevin Costner turned down the Andy role in Shawshank for Waterworld

Costner directed and produced Waterworld and undertook one of the most difficult film shoots in modern cinematic history.
After his success with Dances With Wolves, Costner was obviously in the mood to be the great American film creator and he had all the leverage and power at the time to make that happen.
I still like Waterworld. I saw it in the theater and still watch it every time it's on.
Costner had full control in that picture and would not have had it on Shawshank. As alluded to in a post before, I don't think Costner regrets one thing about making Waterworld, much else in his career.
For the most part, once he was an established star, I think he made exactly what he wanted to.
Now... Connery turning down Gandalf... Now that's a regret... One to the tune of $400M and a decision that basically ended one of the great movie star careers of the last 60 yrs.

Waterworld was one of my favorite movies as a kid. Loved it. I actually don't know anyone that hates Waterworld.
