Actor/Director combinations you'd like to see.
 
I made this forum simply because I have a wet dream for a movie. A Christopher Nolan film starring Jennifer Lawrence and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. My favorite director actress and actor. But got me thinking what combination of actor/director that haven't worked together would you like to see? And Why?

Mine is obviously Jennifer Lawrence/Christopher Nolan. They both just pump out nothing but quality work, I'd love to see them team up. Maybe Nolan could center a movie around a girl for JLAW ha.

Conversely, a frequent Jlaw collaborator now, my other combination I'd like to see is Joseph Gordon-Levitt/David O Russell. Simply, because they both do quality stuff but Russell seems to have a knack for getting Oscar nominations for his actors. I believe he has had 7 nominations and 3 wins in acting categories in his last two movies, The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook. I'd love to see JGL get some Oscar love he deserves at least a nomination. Still think he should have been nominated for 50/50 but thats for another thread.

Anyways who is your Actor/Director combo that haven't worked together yet?

I would love to see Damon work with either PTA or Tarantino. Both those directors get so much out of their performers. I can't think of a truly awful performance in any of their films. I have loved Damon since the Good Will Hunting days, so seeing him do something with some heavy lifting would be great.

I like the Denzel/Scorsese combo.

Cooper/Nolan would be cool
JGL/Jason Reitman
Robin Williams/QT would be epic!

What, is there a character named Jackie Chun?

Edit: it seems there is, lmao (I've never watched Dragon Ball). I actually misspelled Jackie Chan's surname on purpose, because he misspelled Tarantino's. And I've seen many people do that.

Tom Hardy and Quentin Tarantino!!! Come on, I can't believe these two haven't worked together already.

Would also love to see Spielberg and Jennifer Lawrence, she's definitely one of the best female leads out there and had proven box office worth.

Bela Tarr + Michael Fassbender + Liv Ullmann

Austere tale of a plague doctor (starring Fassbender) walking, walking, walking, and WALKING, did I say walking? Yeah, walking on the streets in this scary plague doctor's mask, and then without and then talking with Ullmann, then each one of them gives 10-minute-long monologue and the movie ends with everything fading into darkness.
