I recently told someone that I would love to see Stephen Spielberg direct a musical movie based on a Stephen King work, with the songs written by Stephen Spielberg. Misery, starring Steven Segal. And Big Bang has to get Estelle Parsons to do a guest shot as Sheldon Cooper’s other grandmother. What’s yours? ---

I would like to see Jonathan Frakes direct the next Star Trek movie. He did such a great job directing the TNG film “First Contact” and he seems to really understand that world. ---

Based on their work in various sketches and shows, I think Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake would make good leads in a comedy written by Tina Fey. ---

For some reason I can’t quite explain, the thought of \*\*Johnny Depp \*\* starring in the same movie as **Robert Downey Jr.** , **George Clooney** or **Brad Pitt** intrigues me (I don’t think he’s ever worked with any of these three). ---

The dude who made “the Middleman” Javier Grillo-Marxuach and J.J.Abrams. And toss in Sam Rockwell for good measure. ---

Depp did once work with Pitt. But not in a movie. Pitt once guest starred on an episode of _21 Jump Street_. It was Pitt’s second credited role. ---

I think Robert Picardo, Jon Cryer, and Frank Whaley should play brothers in something. Maybe a spiritual remake of _[Coupe De Ville](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupe_de_Ville_(film))_. ---

I’d like to see a movie where Matt Damon and Jesse Plemons play siblings (not counting all the pretty horses where he was a flashback scene). Also someone mentioned remaking the movie ‘Twins’ with Shaq and Kevin Hart. That wouldn’t be bad either. ---

I’ll go with Guillermo Del Toro & Neil Gaiman. I don’t even care who does what. Free range collabo. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-creative-types-would-you-like-to-see-team-up-on-a-project/810486.md?page=2)
