Del Toro and Bernal were replaced by Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver respectively while Liam Neeson replaced Day-Lewis. They all dropped out of the project after the repeated delays in the production's development. Day-Lewis was originally set to play Father Ferreira, Bernal was initially set to play Father Rodrigues, & Del Toro was formerly set to play Father Francisco Garrpe. When the project was announced, Daniel Day-Lewis, Gael GarcĂa Bernal and Benicio Del Toro were cast in the lead roles. But when Scorsese couldn't get financing for the project, he decided instead to do The Aviator (2004). Martin Scorsese and screenwriter Jay Cocks had written an early draft of the film in the 1990s with the intention of Scorsese directing it after Gangs of New York (2002). This film has been in the "works" for a very very long time, about 25 years. ![]()
