If they hadn't dropped out of filming, Anne Hathaway and Mark Wahlberg would have been the stars of Silver Linings Playbook. Which would have been a much different movie.

The information dropped on Howard Stern's radio show, where Harvey Weinstein revealed that Hathaway had been the original actress cast for the role of Tiffany.

As he explained to Stern, "Silver Linings Playbook was originally going to be with Anne Hathaway and Mark Wahlberg . . . and then Anne wasn't doing it. And she's marvelous, and wonderful and she was my choice, I love her."

"David and Anne had some creative differences," Weinstein admitted of the reason they lost the actress. "They didn't see eye-to-eye."

"Then Jennifer Lawrence and two or three other actress came in, and the minute we saw Jennifer Lawrence's tape . . . Because I said, 'How the hell are we gonna replace Annie?' And then this amazing creature walked in who is a brilliant actress, and so much fun, and she won an Oscar."

Anne Hathaway also won an Oscar that year for Best Supporting Actress in Les Miserables so we doubt there are any hard feelings.
