Just how did Basinger get the role of Vicki Vale?

[Mr. Socko]

Kim Basinger reportedly had an affair with producer Jon Peters, leading to speculation that this affected the decision to cast her. Jack Nicholson was aware of the whole situation, and was also unhappy with the way Peters and Peter Guber were treating Tim Burton. After a fierce argument with the producers, Nicholson went to Basinger and flat out said, "Tell that guy who's c**k you've been sucking for the past couple of months that he's an a**hole!"

This is actually the first I heard of this. If it's true, Jack sure owned them.t:

 

[CConn]

Jack Nicholson is so awesome.

 

[Two-Face]

she was sleeping with Jon Peters then he mentioned to Burton when Sean Young broke her leg, haha

 

[The Joker]

If that's true, way to go, Jack

 

[Mister J]

I came in prepared to make a casting couch joke, but the premise here already points to that.

There needs to be video footage of Jack saying that to Basinger. It should have been a bonus behind-the-scenes clip.

 

[Abaddon]

ha, that's awesome even if it's not true.

 

[GoogleMe94]

OOH THIS IS TRUE!!!! i read this in a book, i think it was called "Blockbuster" or something to that effect. i think it was about getting coats for everyone because they were freezing up, or something, and nicholson was upset about this. but i was trying to think of where i heard that. but i know ive read that in a book somewhere.

 

[K.B.]

Yes this is indeed true and I do believe it was mentioned i nthat book blockbuster as well (def go read it if you like seedy hollywood stories)

 

[CFE]

I thought she was dating Prince during production

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

[dude stannis]

I was just going to say: "Ask Jack Nicholson, he'll give you a colorful answer."

That was a classy thing to do really.

 

[Darkness Falls]

I'm so naive if this si true ! I thought this was juts because Sean Young wasn't available !t:

 

[Two-Face]

Sean Young broke her leg during horse scene, Peters mentioned Basinger to Burton.

 

[Darkness Falls]

They explain it all on the batman 89 special edition
two Face is exactly right

 

[Lazlo Panaflex]

If it is true then Nicholson and Basinger sure knew how to hide it well during their press interviews in 1989.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

Sean Young broke her leg during horse scene, P

Sean Young is a pretty decent actress, pity.

 

[The Shredder]

Sean Young is a pretty decent actress, pity.

Yeah, you can definately tell she's had alot of thoughts about falling off that horse from the SE. That's for sure.

 

[CaptainClown]

wow I can really see jack saying that, in full make up

 

[Damiean Dark]

At the end of the day Basinger did a good job in the role and is actually the best of the love interests in all batfilms IMO and that includes Holmes in Begins.
