Remember, Remember the casting change that potentially saved V for Vendetta and made it the iconic film it is today. Originally James Purefoy was cast as the titular V, but after a few weeks of shooting the Wachowski's stepped in to make a change. Bringing in fellow Matrix collaborator Hugo Weaving brought V for Vendetta out of trouble and saved the film from it's own demise. V for Vendetta would not be the film it is today without some creative casting choices.
