10 Times Actors Had ZERO Idea What Movie They Were Making

10. Everyone - Suicide Squad

When a movie undergoes rushed scripts and last-minute rewrites, it's understandable when actors involved get a little muddled about the character they're portraying or the overall narrative.

But sudden script changes happen all the time, especially with blockbusters. The Lord of the Rings and The Avengers had rewrites on a daily basis, forcing the actors to adapt. This practice may not be ideal, but it's not uncommon.

However, Suicide Squad took this to a whole new level. David Ayer's script, which was penned in just six weeks, didn't stop changing until the eleventh hour. Even though Margot Robbie and Will Smith were playing the leads, Robbie admitted "We don't know what our characters' relationship is really gonna be, it's ever-changing. We're not being secretive, we just actually don't know."

If you thought the stars would be clued in after production wrapped, guess again. Unimpressed by the militaristic and grungy aesthetic, Warner executives urged Ayer to make Suicide Squad more light-hearted. After spending a preposterous $22 million on reshoots, The Joker's scenes were drastically cut down and the entire third act was redone. There were so many versions of Suicide Squad, nobody involved knew what the finished product was going to be until it premiered.
