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

No it's not. It's The Bodyguard.

Kevin at his best:
3000 Miles to Graceland

Actually it's Bull Durham. Top 5 movie all time for me.

After all said and done, the movie didn't even flop even though it was called one. They had a massive budget overrun and the media pounced. A hurricane hit the set, Costner had a heart attack or something, filming in open water has it's own problems, rewriting the script over and over, The director quit or should I say cracked under pressure. That became the story instead of actually the film and the studio is to blame for all of that.
