15 Movies That Were Almost Turned Into TV Series:
12. “Zero Effect” [...] The pilot, it seems, had featured Alan Cumming taking on Pullman’s role, but as far as who played Stiller’s character, it’s hard to say. As the above link explains, “You will not be able to find a copy of this pilot on DVD or on the Internets. Many of those associated with the project never saw the completed pilot following its post production. There are likely copies somewhere in the vaults of NBC Television, Castle Rock Entertainment, and perhaps even elsewhere in the vast expanses of the Time Warner empire. (Director/co-writer Jake) Kasdan no doubt has a copy somewhere amongst his possessions and projects, but he is not sharing it.”
I would never have thought of Alan Cumming as a replacement for Bill Pullman, but I’d have loved the chance to see how it would have worked out.
