IMDb says that Johnny Depp was approached, but I'm not sure that he was much bigger than Bill Campbell back in 1991. He only became a huge star with the Pirates franchise, before that, he was mostly known for more offbeat fare like Edward Scissorhands.James wrote:I remember reading an article about it in a magazine once and it suggested that casting an unknown lead killed the film. I suppose it would have been a much more famous film with Harrison Ford or whoever.

I remember the article (it was a Starburst style film magazine) said that Campbell was best known for playing a gay love interest in Dynasty (or The Colbys?) and was considered a bizarre choice to carry a big summer film. I didn't think he was that bad but the film was clearly one of Timothy Dalton's finest hours.
