What actor-director combination has never happened but you’d love to see?

Submitted by HiImWallaceShawn t3_1242t8y in movies

I personally would love to see a collaboration between Paul Thomas Anderson and DiCaprio. PTA has stated in the past DiCaprio is one of the actors he’d most like to work with that he hasn’t yet. He also has talked about how he almost had him for boogie nights. Also, DiCaprio loves working with established big time directors. I’d love to see it.

DiCaprio and/or Adam Driver with David Fincher, Sam Rockwell with Wes Anderson, and Idris Elba with Spike Lee.

Vin Diesel and Martin Scorsese. If we’re really getting crazy, a new story in The DepartedVerse

I want to see Tarantino's first choices in place, like Matt Dillon as Butch and Sid Haig as Marsellus and Warren Beatty as Bill and Will Smith as Django. I can sort of understand Dillon not making the effort because Tarantino wasn't Tarantino at the time, and because Tarantino wasn't Tarantino the guy playing agent for Haig never ever bothered him for a role where he'd be, well, you know.

I like to think of the Tarantino films that might have been

Oddly, DiCaprio's father George DiCaprio is in Licorice Pizza as a watered salesman. At one time he was a watered salesman in real life.

It was rumored at one point thst Leo was in talks for Licorice Pizza but Anderson has since denied this.

Paul W. S. Anderson and the rest of the crew to actually get Event Horizon to fruition.

Well you're in luck. Dicaprio is in PTA's next movie, along with Joaquin Phoneix, Regina Hall and Viggo Mortensen

It does not look like he directs anymore, but I would have loved to see director Jerry Zucker (Airplane, Ruthless People, Ghost, Rat Race) direct Melissa McCarthy, who is pretty much wasting her time these days on efforts with her husband. Zucker could bring out the zany funny out of McCarthy I would wager.
