FOX called for the replacement of Sam Worthington in Avatar
As you know, Sam Worthington was James Cameron's first and only candidate for the role of Jake Sully in Avatar. However, the management of the 20th Century Fox movie company, which financed the project, demanded to entrust this role to a more famous actor before movieing began, offering either Matt Damon or Jake Jellenhaal to choose from. Cameron himself told the LA Times about this. According to him, he met with both actors and discussed the details of the project with them. As a result, both of them refused to play in the picture. “I don’t think it was because they were uncomfortable with the CGI images. They are both great actors. To be honest, I was not particularly keen to convince them. I believed in Sam. Apparently they felt it, '' said the director.
