Brando no longer a contender for Scary Movie
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - In the end, it was an offer he couldn't accept.
Marlon Brando has dropped out of a reported $2 million deal to play a four-day cameo role in ``Scary Movie 2'' because of continued illness, the company making the film said Tuesday.
``We regret to announce that due to continued illness, Marlon Brando is unable to complete the filming of his cameo role in 'Scary Movie 2,' Elizabeth Clark, senior vice president of publicity for Dimension Films, said.
``Unfortunately, due to his health issues and unavailability, we must now recast his role. We wish Mr. Brando a speedy recovery,'' she added in a statement.
