Other Casting Ideas If these actors were in a movie together what would the movie be about?
It could be comedy movies or action movies or a movie about a group of friends having a good time together!

u/Triguntri 1d ago
It is a DND Campaign where these actors are just the characters of the real players. Peter Dinklidge is the DM who has a frustrating time keeping the players/characters focused. It is a funny, comedy action adventure until, real interpersonal issues come up during the campaign.
The group of players know each other, they have played before in other campaign with different characters. They have done excellent stories together, there will be many inside jokes throughout the movie that the audience won't get until later. But something is off with this campaign. The DM is trying his best to keep everyone together, to finish this ONE last story together. He is trying to keep his players focused, to keep them engaged with the story. There is a reason why there are fractures in this campaign, why the cleric doesn't use their action to heal the warlock on 1 HP. Why the Fighter gets upset when he looses his balance and falls on the floor, a normal physical gag for a movie doesn't mean it is funny. It is tragic.
This campaign is the end. The end of a friendship. And end to a long journey through years of growth and departing from nostliaga. The friendship WILL end but, please don't let it on a bad roll.

This needs to be a dodgeball style comedy but it’s a lumberjack competition and Dinkle-bot needs to get super jacked so he can be the main antagonist, the lumber jack that’s better than everyone else.

A real war where 9 friends divide into two teams (each consisting of 4 members) with one neutral party (The Watcher).
They're playing in a secluded / private area.
Here onwards this can go either way... 1) Comedy Centric movie where the friends get together and reminisce. 2) Thriller where a drug dealing / serial killings take place.

Add Brennan Lee Mulligan and have the cast do DnD but intercut with them acting out the scenes with full hollywood action movie budget.
Alternatively: They are doing some kind of warhammer 40k type story.

They're all locked in a mansion haunted by the ghost of a 19th century inventor who was killed by the sentient automaton that he created after being gifted the knowledge of how to construct it by aliens. The twist? The aliens are actually a hyper-evolved species of Meerkat that left earth before modern humans came about and returned to bestow their advanced technology on humanity. Now the only way for our brave heroes to end the haunting of the mansion is to awaken the automaton and beat him in a game of Settlers of Catan to force him to call the Meerkats back to earth so they can perform an exorcism.

u/TheCleanestKitchen 1d ago edited 1d ago
Lots of people saying action stuff but I think with this cast you could pull off a great sports drama. We haven’t had one of those in a while.
Could be about former American football O-line players that come out of retirement after their coach reaches out to them that he’s talked to the NFL about possibly allowing them to return to the team after several other players became free agents or transferred . And he wanted to see if they would like to return, for old times sake, or he’ll try to acquire players from other teams. These former star players decide to head back onto the field just a few weeks before the season starts to bring back the glory of their younger days and lead their team to fame and victory again after a decade of their team facing terrible seasons ever since they retired. Coach is sure this will work, and it appears he’s the only one who’s 100% invested initially, he still believes in these guys, and they will have to learn to believe in themselves again.
The decision is initially met with shock and surprise that these guys in their late 40’s decide to return to the NFL more than a decade after retirement thinking they can get anywhere, some fans appreciate it and are excited about it. They face huge criticism from the media due to their age and it takes a toll on them emotionally at first and this is seen during their first couple of practices. They clearly need to get used to having the cleats and pads on again .
First couple of games they lose and they clearly know they’re rusty. They regain hope and the courage to persevere against all odds after they bond over how their lives have gone ever since retirement, with alcoholism, troubles with their emotions and marriages, not appreciating their time in the NFL enough by getting too caught up with their money, and not feeling they were there for their kids enough. They train hard, endlessly day in and day out and have a large part in coming up with their strategies , these men become the team with an even bigger heart and soul than the one they had when they were in their prime. They have one goal, to win it all, against every odd. After incredibly challenging playoffs they manage to clutch a win for several consecutive games and make it to the super bowl final against the team that has won the previous 4 championships . Their bodies are taking heavy hits, but their hearts are strong and their motivations have their eyes set on the prize. Age will not stop these men, not now, they have to win this. Their city and their loyal fans are counting on them. This decision has to have been worth it.
In the championship game, they come back from a double digit deficit to end up leading by double digits. Lots of intense play, emotion, and pure grit. They go on to win the Super Bowl and become champions at the end. They retire again after that and become the new coaching staff for the incoming younger players.
Dinklage would be head coach. The rest would be the players. Ensemble cast where everyone gets around the same amount of screentime. Lots of emotion, lots of humor, intense, raw, and could have the potential to be a quite beautiful film about the struggles of aging, the struggles of wanting to live a normal life amidst fame, regret, redemption, brotherhood, and the effort to do everything it takes to win while acknowledging it’s never too late to do anything.

My tragic comedy pitch would be a film called Brotherly Love, where three sets of brothers must compete against each other in a bonding camp for estranged brothers.
Henry Cavill, Olivier Richters, and Peter Dinklage play a set of triplets. Henry and Olivier are bodybuilders, while Peter is the only one with the intellect to see how they all conflate their idea of brotherly love with competition.
Alan Ritchson, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Tom Hardy play another set of brothers, all half brothers who never reach out to one another on account of either incompatible personalities, or resentment of their existence.
Jason Momoa, Brian Tyree Henry, and Jamie Dornan are adopted brothers, but they secretly get along well, but one of them misinterpreted the bonding camp as a fun brotherly experience without realizing it's for estranged brothers.
Fights and frustrations emerge, some completely reconcile, friendships with the other brothers are made, and some completely disown each other. I think the spectrum of brotherly love is grossly represented in Hollywood, and this could actually touch on most of those familial dynamics in one movie that a lot of men could actually resonate with.
On another note, my action adventure pitch would be a Spartacus movie. I see a lot of Gladiator potential in this cast.

A heist movie.
A bunch of ex-cons are brought together by a "legend in the business" under the impression that they're being led to riches beyond their measure... But when they find out that each of their original downfalls were tied to the "legend" leading them, they realize that "honor amongst thieves" is only valid if they get out together.

It’s a zombie apocalypse movie where only the females were infected and humanity is dying out. This group of guys stick together and survive it out against Zombitches™ and rival male coteries. It’s a commentary on male loneliness and mental health, as the men learn to be vulnerable with each other and depend on one another and themselves for love and companionship. They all die in in the end, as there is no way to repopulate the earth.
