Director Swap

[Sawyer]

Stealing this idea from the Academy Twitter account, but...


And mine is going to be the same here as it was there: David Lynch’s Edward Scissorhands/Tim Burton’s Mulholland Drive

Terry Gilliam's Charlie and the chocolate factory / Tim Burton's Brothers Grimm.
Already back then, it felt like they had switched films.

Then we go with something unexpected
Woody Allen's Transformers / Michael Bay's Annie Hall
Roland Emmerich's Pulp Fiction / Quentin Tarantino's Independence day

Then some 80s stuff
Ivan Reitman's Poltergeist / Tobe Hooper's Ghostbusters
John Landis' Back to the future / Robert Zemeckis' Blues brothers
Joe Dante's 48 hours / Walter Hill's Gremlins
Richard Donner's Blade Runner / Ridley Scott's Goonies
Steven Spielberg's Terminator / James Cameron's ET
Stanley Kubrik's Nightmare on Elm street / Wes Craven's The shining
John Carpenter's Karate kid / John G Avildsen's Christine
Oliver Stone's King of comedy / Martin Scorsese's Platoon
Francis Ford Coppola's Hairspray / John Waters' The outsiders

Stanley Kubrik's Nightmare on Elm street / Wes Craven's The shining

I’m into it.

John Carpenter’s Alien/Ridley Scott’s The Thing.

John Carpenter’s Alien/Ridley Scott’s The Thing.

Donald Pleasance as Ash

 

[StarLord]

John McTeirnan's Robocop/Paul Verhoeven's Predator

 

[Silvermoth]

That’s a fun idea.

taika waititi does Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Mike Newell does Thor Ragnarok

 

[Tyler Yates]

Christopher Nolan’s Spider-Man/Sam Raimi’s Batman

 

[Sawyer]

Raimi on Batman would be fun, because I can easily see him leaning into a horror element.

Nolan on Spider-Man, though... hard to imagine.

 

[Tyler Yates]

Peter Jackson-Harry Potter
Chris Columbus- LOTR

Chris Columbus- LOTR

Oh. I'm speecless

 

[Boom]

Guillermo Del Toro's The Hobbit
Peter Jackson's Crimson Peak

Many of them make totally sense, when thinking about it.
A few are half and half for fun.

George Miller's Total recall / Paul Verhoeven's Mad Max 2
Steven Spielberg's Superman / Richard Donner's Indiana Jones
Francis Ford Coppola's Batman / Christopher Nolan's Apocalypse now

Richard Linklater's Margot at the wedding / Noah Baumbach's Boyhood
Michael Mann's Untouchables / Brian de Palma's' Heat
Peter Jackson's Star Wars / George Lucas' Meet the feebles (guess why!)
Wolfgang Petersen's Moulin Rouge / Baz Lurhmann's Troy
Cameron Crowe's Elephant / Gus van Sant's Almost famous
Joel Schumacher's Sleepers / Barry Levinson's The client (or... Falling down would be even better)
Ang Lee's Face-off / John Woo's Chrouching tiger hidden dragon
Robert Rodriguez' No country for old men / Coen's Machete
Tim Burton's Ninth gate / Roman Polanski's Sleepy hollow
Lars von Trier's Reservoir dogs / Tarantino's The house that Jack built

 

[Eddie Dean]

Saw title.

Saw OP.

Was hoping for more sex.

Was disappointed.


...



John Boorman's CONAN THE BARBARIAN/John Milius' EXCALIBUR.

 

[Luigi]

David Cronenberg's Seven

As if it wasn't horrific enough. I'd be so down for it.

 

[Sawyer]

Potentially sacrilegious:

George Miller’s Man of Steel/Zack Snyder’s Fury Road

I think it would make a world of difference where MOS is concerned, and while Fury Road would lose a bit of technical proficiency, I don’t think it would be super far off from the actual final product.

Eh, maybe I’d put Snyder on the original Mad Max, just to be safe...

 

[VictusMortuus]

Quentin Tarantino CA: First Avenger
Joe Johnston Inglorious Bastards

Christopher Nolan Avatar
James Cameron Interstellar

Matt Reeves Man of Steel
Zack Snyder Apes

Jon Favreau SW: TFA
JJ Abrams Iron-Man

 

[Sawyer]

Christopher Nolan’s The Aviator (which is to say, the Howard Hughes movie he’d always intended to make before the actual Aviator dropped)

Martin Scorsese’s (very tempted to put him on a Batman movie, but...) Memento
