Probably the most interesting is the tale of Steven Seagal’s desperation to star in the movie and go toe-to-toe with the Predator.
While this sadly never happened, Hopkins did have a meeting with Seagal, whose outlandish ideas about his role in the movie ultimately killed this action dream-team from happening.
I said, ‘Oh, this is different from the way we were going, so I guess we shouldn’t do it.’
He told me he wanted to play a CIA psychiatrist who is also a martial arts expert and carried a gun.
