A list of projects and film roles Chloë has been rumored to be involved in at some point.
Legally Blonde (2001): unknown supporting role
Chloë was reportedly offered a $500,000 supporting role in Robert Luketic’s hit comedy Legally Blonde starring Reese Witherspoon, however she declined the part.
Boys Don’t Cry (1999): Brandon Teena
Chloë originally auditioned for the part of the transgendered teenager Brandon Teena in Kimberly Peirce’s controversial and critically acclaimed reality-based drama Boys Don’t Cry, a role which eventually went to Academy Award-winning actress Hilary Swank. Instead, Chloë was cast opposite Swank as Lana Tisdel, Brandon Teena’s would-be girlfriend. Chloë earned among many other awards and nominations an Academy Award- as well as a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Lana.
Catch Me If You Can (2002): untitled role
Chloë was considered for a part in Steven Spielberg’s 2002 crime drama Catch Me If You Can, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. The role, however, was evidently (and for whatever reason) excluded from the final script as it was evidently not recast for the final cut of the film.
Mona Lisa Smile (2003): Giselle Levy
Chloë auditioned for the role of Giselle Levy in Mike Newell’s 2003 drama comedy Mona Lisa Smile, starring Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles as well as Chloë’s then would-be Big Love co-star Ginnifer Goodwin. The part, however, went to actress Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Terminator Salvation (2009): untitled role
Rumor had it in 2007 that Chloë was in contention with actress Rachel Weisz for the role of an at the time untitled female “terminator” in the upcoming 2009 Terminator sequel, Terminator Salvation. Neither actress, however, were involved in the production.
