I think the pilot then ended... So the original pilot was in her apartment.

Then they shot it again, like properly, we'll say, for TV.

But she said she remembered there was a meeting in the FX office.

And when she got there, there were like three desks set up, but there was none for her.

And it was kind of... The inference is that Rob was already kind of, you know, establishing that this wasn't going the distance.

But it's just gas then to bring in like your new girlfriend to the role and then go on and marry her.

Like, it's crazy.

This is one I didn't know either.

Yeah.

So Jodie Foster is obviously the star of Panic Room, but it was almost Nicole Kidman, which is nuts.

Panic Room was the follow up to Fight Club by David Fincher.

Nicole Kidman was tapped for the lead role and she'd filmed for two weeks, but she had to drop out because she had this injury.

She'd just come off of Moulin Rouge and she had this injury that she basically re-aggravated.

And she talked about she was in a really bad way, wanted to do it, but obviously knew she couldn't.

She said Jodie took over and obviously did what she did with that role.

I can't, again, kind of can't imagine Nicole or anyone else in that role now.

But it's interesting.

Jodie Foster was also only able to do it because she was on another project with Russell Crowe and Russell Crowe had gotten injured.

So that project was delayed.

She didn't, obviously, Nicole Kidman didn't get to complete the film.
