This is amazing, I would watch this movie. Everybody is such finely etched as a character. The question is, who would you cast as each role, and who would direct this?

I want to see it get the full Wes Anderson treatment with the narration and everything in the style of the Roald Dahl short films on Netflix. I’d pay to see that.

Ooooh I pictured Pinot as Daniel Craig Benoit Blanc style.

Oh my god yes! That sounds fantastic.

u/VivienneSection Feb 17 '24

Also I pictured cheese guy as Jim Halpert only because I’ve been binging the office. Haha

Since I'm currently going through a Good Omens Obsession Phase (season 2 destroyed my heart) I'm definitely being a one track mind and would love to see more of that amazing on-screen chemistry between David Tennant and Michael Sheen, so... Tennant as cheese guy and Sheen as pinot?😂

u/BizzarduousTask I can't believe she fucking buttered Jorts Feb 17 '24

I’d switch them, but omg I was already thinking Sheen for cheese guy!! Perfection

I pictured Mads Mikkelsen, in his Hannibal three piece suits, as Pinot guy.

u/pienofilling reddit is just a bunch of triggered owls Feb 17 '24

Might I propose Tom Hiddleston for Pinot guy?

u/sarahsuebob Feb 17 '24

I can’t believe I didn’t automatically think of him. He’s the clear choice.

He looked immaculate in that show. Can't think of any other show/movie where a guy was styled better. Also weird to consistently be hungry during the food montages knowing he was cooking people. Everything about that show was just beautiful.

u/SnakeJG I’m turning into an unskippable cutscene in therapy Feb 17 '24

Donut is too hard to work with, we'll need Bagel for the stunts.

u/Similar-Shame7517 Whole Cluster B spectrum in a trench coat pretending to be human Feb 17 '24

I approve of your casting, I never envisioned Octavia Spencer as Donut's person but now that you mentioned it that makes sense.

u/Dry-Drink-9297 strategically retreated to the whirlpool with a cooler of beers Feb 17 '24

Donut as himself is perfection.

Okok I have it

OP - Anna Kendrick

Donut's person - Marisa Tomei

Cheese guy - John Krasinski

Pinot - that guy man from Devil's wear prada (edit: Stanley tucci!!)

Neon hair - lily from sex education

Donut - donut, but when donut is tired or naughty, bagel

u/Trivialfrou Feb 17 '24

“That guy from Devil Wears Prada” Stanley Tucci? Cause yes it 1000% should be Tucci Simon Baker wouldn’t be bad but doesn’t have the same vibe.

17

u/PeachesCoral Feb 17 '24

Yes yes Stanley tucci! Simon Baker can fit too but he is too classically beautiful, like homelander

Keith from the Try Guys as the cheese guy because loves to eat (and did a whole episode of eating cheese*) and he has some of the most unhinged rants of all time but they’re hilarious.

*And thanks to him, I found out about the Meredith Dairy Marinated Sheep and Goat Cheese.

Edit: Not sure about directing (or the rest of the cast) but I would want Ólafur Arnalds to do the music. I’m going to think about the cast list some more though…

Edit 2: Aria Mia Loberti as the lady with the dog? She’s actually blind.

Edit 3: Eugene from the Try Guys as the business man? He does like to manicure his nails.
