Tom Cruise/Uwe Boll
Gregg Turkington/James Cameron
Nicole Kidman/Quentin Dupieux
The Rock/Kathryn Bigelow

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

I think Gregg Turkington would work perfectly in a Uwe Boll film.

Tom Cruise and Uwe Boll... What a freak show, I would love it

Denzel Washington in a Tarantino or Nolan joint.

DiCaprio in a Fincher film.

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

At least you got Denzel's son in a Nolan film.

[–] M1sterDoct0r (4560) a year ago

He doesn't even hold a candle to the "old man".

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

Well, no. But at least you got a Washtington in a Nolan film. Watch Denzel star in a film by some random dude name Joe Nolan now.

[–] M1sterDoct0r (4560) a year ago

Haha, still could happen though.

He does have a brother called Joe (Jonathan) Nolan. Dude who created Westworld.

All of these are too old for it.
Denzel Washington and Samuel L. Jackson in a buddy cop movie.
Bill Murray and Arnold Schwarzenegger in a slapstick comedy.
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman together in a movie.

My bad. I still haven't seen it.

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

All could work depending on the type of movie. Nicholson/Freeman could be retired hitmen who are sent for one last job. Murray and Schwarzenegger would have to be a comedy. I can't see them doing drama together at their age.

SAM ROCKWELL IS MY FAVORITE LIVING ACTOR...TARANTINO IS MY FAVORITE LIVNG DIRECTOR...SO ROCKWELL/TARANTINO.

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

Rockwell has a Walton Goggins vibe about him.

[–] MartyDeniro (4185) a year ago

Tom Hardy/Darren Aronofsky
Miles Teller/Safdie Bros
Rosamund Pike/David Lynch
Carey Mulligan/Robert Eggers
Anne Hathaway/Damien Chazelle

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

We all know Marty and DeNiro are the best duo.

mic cage/alexander payne

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

He could have been interesting in The Holdovers.

[–] VinceD (10408) a year ago

Van Damme/Quentin Tarantino

[–] samoanjoes (58601) a year ago

Tarantino would and then claim that he revived his career.
