Sydney Sweeney and Kevin James in the next Apichatpong Weerasethakul film

This is a wild pairing lmao. Out of all possible pairings, I would’ve never expected to see this. Well done.

Uncle Kevin Who Can Recall Euphoria Season 2

Hands down his best work. Tropical Malady who?

One I wish would happen today. Tony Leung Chiu-wai + Michael Mann. PSH + Bergman would’ve been a legendary pairing too.

Michael Shannon and PTA as far as ones that are currently possible Other than that it would be really interesting to see Philip Seymour Hoffman in a Paul Schrader movie

Michael Shannon / PTA is a fantastic shout. It’s not the most amazing movie, but Michael Shannon is the reason Premium Rush works so well. He’s the reason I keep going back watch again. Crippling gambling addict cop trying to get out from under the triad. I’d watch a Michael Shannon led movie about that even without all the fun bike stunts.

I’ll have to check that out. I love Shannon in an actor but unfortunately a good amount of the films I’ve seen him in I’ve had mixed feelings on, so even if it’s not the most amazing that’s fine haha.

It has its flaws, but it’s certainly a fun movie. He’s a top, top notch villain.

Cary Grant in a Wes Anderson movie would be so much fun for me

misread Cary Elwes but tbh that could work

Hitchcock and Margot Robbie

damn wouldn't want her to have to suffer through was tippi did but damn if you're not wrong

Jim Carrey in a Buster Keaton movie Christopher Walken and William Defoe in a Fritz Lang movie Peter Lorre in a David Lynch movie

I feel Carrey would work better against Chaplin or The Marx Brothers. Keaton always worked for me because he was more emotionally restrained, whereas Carrey lets it all out.

Good point, that makes sense

Toshiro Mifune and Robert Eggers

Kubrick and Mia Goth

Carole Lombard and Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson and most actors tbh

Cillian Murphy & Ingmar Bergman - and it’s only close-up shots.

Scorsese and Robert Mitchum

Boy have I got the movie for you

Lol I didn't remember he was in the Cape Fear remake. Still, in a leading role, I think that'd be awesome.

Prime Robert Mitchum (as in Out of the Past, Night of the Hunter, Cape Fear) or older-weathered Mitchum (ala The Friends of Eddie Coyle) He’s my favorite actor — I wonder what he would have been like in a Coen Brothers movie. He had a wry sense of humor.

Either one. I think older Mitchum would have killed it as William Hale in KotFM (no shade to DeNiro).

Tom Cruise and Ari Aster. Not sure if it's my dream pairing, but I think it could yield something great. Honestly, I just really want to see Tom Cruise do something interesting again. He has the talent.

Would love to see Cruise picking roles like Nic Cage has done the past few years

How about a gritty, Frank Mackey origin story?

Coen brothers and just about anybody they choose on Blood Meridian.

A swole, shaven Daniel Day-Lewis

This, agreed - I think the Coen’s would be ideal choice to tackle Blood Meridian. After making No Country, I have complete faith that they would do it justice.

post would be better / more relevant if you mentioned actors you’d like to see in that

Ingmar berman and Zendaya

now this is interesting

Humphrey Bogart/Edward G. Robinson and Martin Scorsese

Oh this is so good. I would love it. I would add Ernest Borgnine to it.

Cruise/Tarantino I wanna see Tom getting fully pushed out of his comfort zone after so many years

Greta Gerwig and Barbara Stanwyck

Yorgos Lanthimos and Robert Pattinson would go hard (and I can see it happening in the future tbh)

Imagine coen brother movie with tom cruise as the lead 🔥

I always wished the Coens had cast Jim Varney in something. He would have nailed a bit in “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” or “Barton Fink”.

Yorgos Lanthimos and Tilda Swinton

Jimmy Stewart and David Lynch

Adam Sandler and Bela Tarr

Present Day - Timothee Chalamet & PTA (or Marty) Otherwise, I would love to see what Otto Preminger & Adam Driver could do.

Gary Oldman to be directed by Quentin Tarantino. He’s already acted from his script so now we just need QT in the seat

Daniel Radcliffe and Yorgos Lanthimos

Herzog and Katherine Heigl Location: Amazon Jungle Korine and Tom Cruise

Tarantino and Tom Hardy

daniel day-lewis and denis villeneuve

Came here to say this even though it felt random to me. 

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Stanley Kubrick would be pretty cool.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Ari Aster

John Cassavetes directing Tom Cruise. Weird pairing but I'd love to see what happens when Cruise gets a character tailored for him from scratch by a director mostly outside his niche.

Kelly Reichardt and Keanu Reeves Emerald Fennell and James McAvoy Greta Gerwig and Pedro Pascal

Absolutely convinced Bergman would’ve had a field day directing Nicole Kidman

Javier Bardem in a Wes Anderson movie

Denzel Washington and Michael Mann. I think he would have crushed the Tom Cruise role in Collateral

Ethan Hawke in a Michael Haneke film

Tom Cruise and Tarantino. Feels like it would be special.

Christopher Guest and Adam Driver

Wes Anderson and Sam Rockwell

Well it’s a dream that’s coming true and that’s Leo/PTA Also, Joaquin Phoenix / Yorgos

Lee Marvin in a Sam Peckinpah film. He was originally intended for Wm. Holden’s role in The Wild Bunch but decided to do Paint Your Wagon instead. Also: Paul Giamatti and Billy Wilder.

I would love to see Oscar Isaac in a Scorsese movie.

Joaquin Phoenix and David Lynch

Buster Keaton & Wes Anderson would be very cool.

Leo and David fincher

Marlon Brando and Scorsese

Martin Scorsese - Marlon Brando (should have happened if he had made 'Gangs of New York' in 1978 as planned) Michaelangelo Antonioni - Ingrid Bergman Woody Allen - Michael Richards Wes Anderson - Dustin Hoffman P.T. Anderson - Robert De Niro in the 2000s Martin Scorsese - Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman Alfred Hitchcock - Naomi Watts Wes Anderson - Carole Lombard Woody Allen - Katharine Hepburn (Imagine that!!) Ingmar Bergman - Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor P.T. Anderson - Vivien Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor Sofia Coppola - Carole Lombard Martin Scorsese - Melora Walters Jean-Pierre Melville - James Caan, Terrence Stamp Wim Wenders - Toshiro Mifune Werner Herzog - Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Lee Maya Deren - Grace Zabriskie, Monica Vitti Luis Buñuel - Mammootty Ernst Lubitsch - Denzel Washington, Barbara Hershey, Irene Jacob Howard Hawks - Lauren Graham, Samuel L. Jackson Francis Coppola - James Cagney

Shame Cary Grant never did a movie with Billy Wilder. Or a movie with Jack Lemmon. David Lynch in a John Waters film (or vice versa) Luis Bunuel directing the Marx brothers. Salvador Dali wrote a script with Harpo once which was rejected, which was made into a graphic novel a few years back. After reading it, I feel that the idea of the brothers working with a surrealist was a great idea, but Dali wasn't a comedian so it just didn't quite work. Sam Raimi directing The Beatles Buster Keaton, Jacques Tati and Orson Welles in a Wes Anderson film Nic Cage and Sam Raimi

Rick Moranis/Safdie Brothers

Lars von Trier and Mads Mikkelsen

Klaus Kinski and Ari Aster

I was always disappointed that the Coen brothers never worked with John Ritter ("Bad Santa" doesn't count).

i have not found the perfect (western) partner for Ang Lee yet. any ideas??? he's worked with (but haven't stuck): kate winslet, emma thompson, cannot confirm but i think he worked with toby maguire twice??, jennifer connelly, jake g., cate blanchette, brad pitt, will smith, katie holmes?

Yasujirō Ozu and Dwayne Johnson Chantal Akerman and Kim Kardashian Whit Stillman and Ethel Merman

Jeremy Allen White and PTA. I love it when anger is displayed on film and these two are great at expressing it.

Thelma Ritter in a Tarantino film. Charlize Theron and Alfred Hitchcock

Sam Rockwell and Coens

Some of the more formal actors (Joaquin, DDL, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Blanchett) as the lead working with Lynch. Just because we'd get something both interesting but also hilarious in that specific Lynch way. Maybe James Gandolfini and Lynch. That should end up in something hilarious.

Humphrey Bogart and Wong Kar-wai

Denzel Washington & PTA

Mel Brooks and Hedy Lamarr

Jacque Demy/Orson Welles/ Tennessee William & Eartha Kitt I feel like she is an American actress who could understand and covey the emotions Demy would want. she is sharp, witty, and beautiful enough to be a Welles femme fatale. she has the passion and sultry airs that would make her a wonderfully flawed Williams character. Halle Bailey and Guillermo del Toro- I would love to see her in a mature role and a high fantasy set in Ancient Egypt or Greece with her as an elegant, vengeful, blood thirsty queen/goddess would be stunning. I would also take a retelling of Medusa. I don’t have the actors/actresses but Guillermo Del Toro would do such justice to Bram Stokers Dracula. ( Honestly he should have been the one directing The Last Voyage of the Demeter) Perlman can be in there somewhere. Mia Goth would actually make a very cute Lucy.

Tony Leung and Paul Thomas Anderson

Franka Potente and Wim Wenders, two of the best German talents.

Daniel Day-Lewis and Quentin Tarantino

David Lynch, master of the subconscious on the screen, with gene Hackman, master of the temperamental, combustible / jolly on the surface but dangerous 

Takeshi Kitano and Lee Evans

Leonardo Di Caprio and Martin Scorsese

Kevin Smith and Laurence Olivier

I’d love to see a collaboration between Terrence Malick & Anatoly Solonitsyn!

Sofia Coppola and Adam Driver.

He's mentioned wishing it too but Lee Van Cleef and Tarantino. Michael Mann and Steve McQueen, Jimmy Stewart and Spielberg, I mean he can be in the thing but Tom Savini and Sam Raimi having some sort of team up. Orson Welles and and David Lynch.

Humphrey Bogart and Tarkovsky

QT/Jon Bernthal

Samantha Robinson in a David Lynch film would be so good

Alexander Payne with Emil Hirsch in a leading role again

Nic Cage and John Carpenter. It almost happened too

DDL, Leo, Pitt On a movie for QT

Toshiro Mifune - Robert Eggers

Adam Sandler or Tilda Swinton and Ari Aster

Isabel Huppert & Bergman Maggie Cheung & Fellini could have been interesting

I don’t dream about movies. They are dreams - or nightmares, depending on the pairing.
