Julia Roberts and George Clooney reunited once again in the recent romcom Ticket To Paradise. The pair have starred alongside each other in numerous films, including hit franchise Ocean's Eleven. It's not so uncommon to see actors performing together in more than one show or movie, most often seen in Adam Sandler's movies, which have included David Spade, Drew Barrymore and others on more than one occasion.
But movie fans have spotted those that have never worked together and believe it's time they should. Whether because of similar acting styles, the same genre of movies or their status in the industry, Reddit s have highlighted the actors they'd like to see in the same projects.
Leonardo DiCaprio And Denzel Washington
Leonardo DiCaprio has seen his career go from strength to strength in different genres and varying roles. Although not his first part, Fences to The Taking Of Pelham 123, there's seemingly no persona Washington is unable to embody. With that in mind, it's no surprise Redditor Thatoneasian9600 decided they'd like to see them both working together.
As a pair, the two actors would excel in whichever genre they should find themselves in, but there have been some crossovers in their chosen genres. DiCaprio performed in The Magnificent Seven. Although with different plot lines, both are westerns, filled with adrenaline and action. The actors are more than capable of portraying gritty roles with intense performances and together, they'd only elevate the quality and realism of a movie.
Daniel Day Lewis And Gary Oldman
A deleted Reddit simply suggests "Daniel Day Lewis and Gary Oldman. Two of the greatest of all time." It's no secret that the two have certainly had stellar careers, with some incredible roles. However, there's one distinct parallel that can be drawn from the two.
Daniel Day Lewis portrayed Abraham Lincoln in Darkest Hour. Each delivered historic, biographical performances, that not only led fans to a further understanding of their respective characters, but also allowed audiences to witness how far their talents stretched. Perhaps a biopic that conveyed two characters in the same movie would be an epic viewing if Lewis and Oldman were cast. The believability would be intact, and the captivation would be second to none.
Jack Nicholson And Al Pacino
With no hesitation, Reddit The Shining.
Interestingly, they have both appeared in similar movies, in a genre that wouldn't necessarily be expected. Both with Adam Sandler, Pacino starred in Jack And Jill whilst Nicholson was in Anger Management. It goes to show that the pair aren't restricted to one genre. Combining everything they've appeared in, a dark comedy would be a brilliant type of movie to see them both in. Deadpan characters with good timing giving an uneasy feeling of not knowing when they're being serious or joking could be perfect for these two fantastic actors.
Robert De Niro And Tom Hanks
Picking two actors whose earlier careers were known for quite contrasting movies, Redditor Goodfellas, whilst Hanks was a favorite in romantic comedy-dramas like Sleepless In Seattle. But, their extensive careers have seen both of them turn their hands to other roles, breaking any typecasting tendencies.
De Niro is a staple name in the Road To Perdition. So, if they were to work together, the scope for what they could perform in is pretty wide. Of course, they could play roles that aren't dissimilar, but they could even play contrasting parts, complementing each other's performances as actors throughout.
Julia Roberts And Anne Hathaway
Acknowledging that they have been in the same movie before, Reddit notamoviebutt said "Julia Roberts and Anne Hathaway. (They're both in Valentines Day, but they don't share any scenes.)" Already being in the same movie indicates their acting styles suit a specific genre, but seeing them directly working opposite each other would be superb.
Roberts and Hathaway have become two sterling actors in the industry, indirectly encouraging audiences to see movies they're in, simply because they're in them. There's been portrayals of fun characters from both of them, but they've undoubtedly stepped into kick-ass roles, showing the extent of their capabilities. Hathaway's parts in Princess Diaries (one of Money Monster. It would be inspiring to see the two incredible actors work together, to convey women with various attributes, portrayed seamlessly.
Meryl Streep And Cate Blanchett
Referring only to their first names, Redditor Varekai79 chose "Meryl and Cate," two fine actors with such extensive careers, others look to them for inspiration.
There's no questioning their place in the industry, as they have become household names. Both performers have crossed into various genres, with equal success in all. Like The Lord Of The Rings (one of the best fantasy movies from the 2000s) for Blanchett, The Devil Wears Prada revealed another side to Streep's acting. As an ideal duo, the actors would be able to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, that would make for an enthralling watch.
Zach Galifianakis And Seth Rogen
Selecting two kings of comedy acting, Redditor SpokenWorder said "Seth Rogen and Zach Galifianakis," a pair that most people would have thought had already worked together.
It's a great selection and their time in a film together can be clearly envisaged. Rogen's sublime comic timing in the likes of one of Todd Phillips' best movies) would arguably create the perfect comedy.
Ryan Reynolds And Vince Vaughn
Reddit kenken202034 explained "Ryan Reynolds seem like they would feed off one another to me." As two actors that have skill in comedy and action, pairing them together could be a genius idea.
In similar ways, Reynolds and Vaughn have both proven their abilities in deadpan humor and sarcasm. As Deadpool, Reynolds incorporated comedic dialogue into his action packed scenes, and Vaughn exudes hilarity in films such as The Watch. Their ways of working would gel together and be exciting for fans of both actors.
Willem Dafoe And Samuel L Jackson
In a great suggestion, Redditor Notlookingsohot said "I feel like Willem Dafoe and Samuel L Jackson would pair well."
Longstanding careers in the industry have enabled the two artists to deliver riveting work. They may have had some contrasting works, but there are similarities that prove their styles of acting would fuse well together. Both playing the bad guys in Spider Man and Kingsman (respectively) hints towards a good match in acting partners. But, they wouldn't necessarily have needed to act in the same kinds of roles, to make it clear they'd work well together. Just being strong and well known actors is enough of a reason.
Judi Dench And Helen Mirren
The names of two greats sprung to mind for Redditor fergi20020 who claimed "Helen Mirren and Judi Dench" should work together, and it really is a surprise that they haven't.
With some spectacular films to both of the actors' names, the genres and types of characters they've portrayed do overlap. In fact, they have both played British queens with equal precision and commitment. Mirren starred in 2006's The Queen as Elizabeth II and Dench delivered an unforgettable turn as Elizabeth I in Shakespeare in Love. Moving in similar circles for nearly six decades, finally getting to see these two British national treasures on-screen together would be an historic moment in cinema.
