Pairings You'd Like To See

[Benji]

Just randomly watching LOTR on lunchbreak and it occurred to me how much I'd love to see Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman in a film together. Random, yes, but it got me thinking about pairings I'd like to see on screen and wondered who EWB would suggest... so... yeah.

This may also be used to declare the fact I've love to see Patrick Stewart paired with Ian McKellen.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan have paired together both on stage and on screen.

Sorry, meant Christopher Lee not Ian McKellen, I was watching the fight in the tower >_>

In that case, get your credit card out and a kleenex, because you're about to cum in your pants and want to buy the greatest movie of all time..

Ahhh Death Train. That's a fantastic movie!

I'd like to see Jason Statham and Milla Jovovich together in a movie where Statham is transporting some important equipment across a zombie ravaged European country.

Jack Nicholson and Robert DeNiro

I'd love to see them as rival Mob Bosses or something like that.

Bruce Campbell and William Shatner.

Casey Affleck and Max von Sydow.

e: Am I the only one who has never had this thought about any pair of people ever? I guess it's indicative of what people look for in films. I have a lot of favourite directors, but I don't think there's a single actor who, by his/her appearance alone, would make me want to check out a film any more or less.

Except maybe in the realm of comedy -- Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor, Leslie Nielsen, Peter Sellers, etc.. But, even then, it's not like I'm hunting down Scary Movie 4 or whatever because I've JUST GOTTA SEE more Nielsen. So it's more likely that I'm in actual fact a ZAZ fan who has become a Nielsen fan by proxy/accident.

There've been a few films that have come out that have made me think "Ooh, that would work well", but I've never sat and thought about it - "Oh, wouldn't Actor A and Actor B work well together?", because ultimately that only matters if the script makes them work well together.

That said;

"Who is that man, Mummy?"

"That is Simon Callow. He is wretched."

"Just churning up this butter to see if it'll MELT in your MOUTH."

^^ that became an in-joke between me and a friend for literally a million billion trillion years.

I think Christian Bale and Edward Norton would make really interesting leads in a movie. Have you ever wanted to see a certain director work with an actor, while we're kind of on topic?

[Numbahs]

Any mixture of Paul Giamatti, Jim Carrey, Martin Scorsese or Darren Aronofsky would be nice...
