About That Time Cameron Crowe Fired Ashton Kutcher
"I'll spend months working with an actor, and I think I spent four months with Ashton," the filmmaker said recently about his time prepping Kutcher for 2005's Elizabethtown. But the actor, who was still starring in That 70's Show at the time, refused to devote a few weeks to the ill-fated project co-starring Kirsten Dunst. At the time, Crowe realized, "This is not meant to be," dropped Kutcher and replaced him with Orlando Bloom. Although the film bombed at the box office, Crowe still remembers it favorably: "Elizabethtown was a movie made for all the right reasons, and people who connect with the movie really connect to it."
