Fincher, Foster, and The Game

This from Entertainment Weekly:

Foster was once set to star in Fincher's 1997 film ''The Game.'' How Sean Penn came to replace her is a matter she can't legally discuss; in 1996, the actress filed a reported $14.5 million suit against PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and Propaganda Films over the flap, which was settled out of court. ''David and I remained friends, and there were no hard feelings,'' says Foster. ''Actually, we're in perfect agreement on the whole thing.''

I wonder what happended? Personally, I can't picture Foster in the role, plus I'm not even sure why she wanted to do it. There was maybe 5 or 10 minutes of actual screen-time involved, and it didn't strike me as being particularly interesting or challenging from her perspective (-- although they may have totally reworked the part when Sean Penn took over).

If anyone has further details or has heard any rumors, then please step up to the microphone.

Well, this will be completely unhelpful to you but I read somewhere Michael Douglas wanted her to play his younger sister but Foster thought she should play his daughter and they split over that. Somehow I think there's more to it than just that. Penn ended up playing Douglas's brother right?

Since it's gossip... maybe she wanted to play his BROTHER.

Or, maybe Douglas demanded a piece of her back end.
