It's like a totally different movie in my brain with Robert de Niro."As reported by E!News, Perkins also confirmed she originally auditioned with de Niro prior to the casting swap.While comparing him to Hanks, she said, "he was more moody. It was more of, a little bit of a horror movie, it was Robert de Niro wandering around the streets of New York."She also noted that what Hanks brought to the role was "so much lighter." And the performance clearly clicked with audiences, as the film went on to become a box office success.
