When a director decides to create a Hollywood movie, they have a lot to think about: the budget, the set, and most importantly, the cast. It costs a fair amount of money to produce a movie, so every single decision needs to be made with care and precision.

Some movies in the past have made the biggest mistakes when it comes to the casting choices. These mistakes led to a potentially incredible movie turning into an average bore. We’ve collected together some of Hollywood’s biggest casting fails.
