One of the iconic films of the 90s, Ghost, the shadow of love, took the careers of Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg to another level.
30 years after its premiere, the tape with one of the hottest scenes in the history of cinema still has many mysteries to solve. Did you know that Bruce Willis was considered for the role of Sam?
With more than 500 million dollars in revenue and two Oscars in its history, for best actress and screenplay, the feature film left memorable scenes and an unforgettable behind-the-scenes experience for history.
How did Demi Moore get to Ghost?
Not being the director's first choice, names like Kim Basinger, Nicole Kidman and Michelle Pfeiffer were being called out before the actress. According to the producers of the audiovisual work, who spoke with People for the fifteenth anniversary of Ghost, Moore was chosen for her ease in crying.
Demi Moore's fear
Although the actress accepted the role, in 2013 she revealed at the American Film Institute that when she read the script she felt restless and fearful about the recording. “There's a guy – dead – trying to save his wife, there's comedy, but it's really a love story, so I thought, 'This is just the recipe for disaster. It's either going to be something special and amazing or it's going to be a disaster."
Bruce Willis as Sam and not Patrick Swayze
In the pre-production stage, Bruce Willis, then Demi Moore's husband, was briefly considered for Ghost, but the Hollywood star turned down the offer "because playing a ghost" wasn't his thing.
The pottery scene and the bug on screen
The emblematic scene not only remained for eternity, but was also an acting challenge for the protagonists. At some point, Patrick Swayze revealed that it was the "sweetest" scene that he had done in his career. But aside from the sensuality he displayed on screen, he hides a major plot continuity error that shouldn't have been recorded.
While the couple molds the clay and gets muddy with it, after a few seconds it is seen how both are clean and ready to start the romantic scene.
What is Ghost, the shadow of love about?
A couple in love sees his happiness cut short when he is murdered by a thief. The need to save the girl's life causes him to remain on Earth in the form of a ghost and try to warn her of the danger she is in. His only means of communication is a crazy seer.
