Here's a tidbit from BICENTENNIAL MAN tryouts in the big apple...
Some Dsiney auditions up in NYC produced a few pages of the Nicholas Kazan script, from the story by Issac Asimov for us to read. Chris Columbus directs. Characters named Sir, Maam, Miss and Little Miss (the daughters)....sounds kinda Doctorow/Ragtime-ish....Robin Williams is the android who appears ala Richard Pryor in "The Toy"...taken out of a box...greeted by a bratty older daughter (Miss)...the youngest daughter mistakes the word "android" for "Andrew" which becomes the android's name....Miss, soon after his arrival, orders him to jump out the second story window....From what I read on the audition script, the character sounds extremely "Data-like", with the android becoming human plotline...No actors names attached to the parental roles, some unknowns were reading those parts....apparently special effects would produce MANY androids that look like Robin Willaims....every household apparently has one in the film.
ciao 4 now!
