Yeah, I think back then Christian Slater was kind of his own brand, if the hair went, he went. And they wanted his name on the poster. I bet they would have loved to have his ass on display, rather than Costner’s, if they could have had it that way. He was the one pulling the young women into the theater. Costner… maybe older women. Even back then. Though it was more of an action role for him… I remember a lot of the girls and women swooning over him a few years later in The Bodyguard though.
