There have been many tragic cases of accidents on and off set which have halted productions, and sometimes an actor's death means an entire recast.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There have been instances throughout productions where an actor has died during production, which has led to multiple movie character recasts to ensure filming is complete. Unfortunately, there have been many cases of actors dying while they are in the middle of filming a movie. There has been a mixture of cases, with the majority happening off of set but some tragically happening on set.
10 Chris Farley In Shrek American comedian Chris Farley was the original Shrek, although the movies would have looked quite different from the Shrek movies that are popular now. Farley had recorded the majority of Shrek’s lines before his untimely death in 1997 from a drug overdose when he was only 33. Mike Myers was recast as Shrek, and the script was rewritten, with Myers adding Shrek’s famous Scottish accent but taking inspiration from some of Farley’s lines.
7 Heath Ledger In The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus Heath Ledger was set to be one of the biggest stars due to his already fantastic filmography, including his posthumously awarded role as the Joker in The Dark Knight, before his tragic death aged only 28. Ledger died of an accidental overdose while filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus as Tony. Most of Ledger’s close-ups had been filmed already, and Zander Glandish was used as a stand-in for some earlier scenes.
4 Paul Walker In Fast & Furious Franchise A shocking death was that of Paul Walker in 2013, who died in a car crash midway through filming Furious 7, the seventh installment of the Fast and Furious franchise. Walker had starred in all the Fast and Furious movies up until his death, and the production wanted to honor him in the best way possible instead of removing him from Furious 7 or canceling the movie entirely, which was seriously considered.
