Keaton almost appeared in one of Eastwood's best films, which would go on to win two Oscars.
The Big Picture The transformation of Michael Keaton from a mainstay in 1980s American comedies to one of the most dynamic leading men in the industry has been one of the most surprising developments of the last few years.
Although Keaton’s ensemble work was still largely within comedically-minded films, Eastwood still felt that he would be a good fit for his latest crime thriller Mystic River. Based on the highly acclaimed novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane, Mystic River centers on the experiences of three childhood friends who grew up together in Boston. Sean Penn has already been cast as Jimmy Markum and Tim Robbins was set to play the role of Dave Boyle.
Keaton did several script readings with the cast, and even did his own research into the practices of the Massachusetts Police Department in order to learn more about Sean’s responsibilities in the story. However, Keaton and Eastwood reportedly go into a disagreement about the depiction of the character which led to some creative difficulties on set.
