Charlie Sheen Was Quite Interested In The Project
After reading the script, a young Charlie Sheen fell in love with the film’s plot. He even went so far as to tell a Castle Rock official, “I’ll do this movie for [expletive] scale,” referring to the bare minimum an actor can be paid. He even offered to do a 30-minute test reel as Red to demonstrate his suitability for the role. Ultimately, the company decided against using Sheen and soon after hired Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins.
