He always seems to contract certain actors and actresses and redefines them...(i.e. - Adam Sandler, Mark Whalberg, Tom Cruise, Heather Graham, Burt Reynolds come to mind)
Who do you think Paul should try to work magic with next?
My picks...
Naomi Watts
Paul Reuben
Kevin Spacey
Edward Norton
John Toturro
Audrey Tautou
Johnny Depp
I know some of those are accomplished actors, but it'd be nice to see them in a PTA film. Also, Paul Reuben has shown to have some ability in Blow...kind of minimal...something PTA could work with...
And about recurring characters? Who should he use again?
Sam Jackson
Luiz Guzman
Emily Watson
Phillip Seymour Hoffman
William H. Macy
John C. Reily
Jeremy Blackman
Gwenyth Paltrow

Perfext pick.
And Ed Norton...I've been wondering about that one for a while. How cool would that be??
Quote from: Walrus, KookookajoobWho do you think Paul should try to work magic with next?
John Turturro!!!!
Sean Penn
Susan Sarandon
Al Pacino
Nicole Kidman
Audrey Tautou
Edward Norton
Ewan Macgregor
Robert De Niro (i think he wants to work with him, right?)
Quote from: Walrus, KookookajoobAnd about recurring characters? Who should he use again?
William H. Macy
John C. Reily
my favorites!
but if he wants to work with the rest of them it's great for me...

I want to see Depp under PTA's direction. The potential scares me.
Jim Carrey
Quote from: Vile5Robert De Niro (i think he wants to work with him, right?)
I think he said so.
I would love to see Amy Sedaris in a PTA flick.
billy zane.
Any big name would be great, he'd get such a great performance out of them. Actors that could use a boost right now: John Travolta, Pacino, de Niro, fucking Steve Martin (just saw the preview for Cheaper by the Dozen, eck, sickening). I'd personally like to see Jude Law, Matt Damon, Robin Williams, Viggo Mortensen, and Miranda Otto.
Quote from: Gamblor the ManwhoreActors that could use a boost right now:
eddie murphy. timothy hutton.
My votes:
Vin Diesel & Ben Affleck
Quote from: ranemaka13Vin Diesel
sorry...but....no.
Quote from: ranemaka13Ben Affleck
I have faith in PTA, but not enough to make Affleck act anywhere near good. I saw the trailer for Paycheck...omg, so horrendous, it looked like a satire of a trailer.
Tobey Maguire.
Ernest Borgnine
Quote from: StefenI would love to see Amy Sedaris in a PTA flick.
Yes, yes, yes!!!! A fellow Amy Sedaris fan!!! Her brilliance goes too untapped and unnoticed, especially after the canellation of
Strangers with Candy. I mean, guest spots no
Just Shoot Me? She deserves more and better!
I'll heartily second Naomi Watts.
And add John Goodman.
All four from Lost in Translation: Murray, Johanson, Ribisi, Faris.
paul should use me.
and then throw me away.
Michael Jackson.
Quote from: meatballMichael Jackson.
PTA: I'd like you for my next movie, Mr. Jackson.
MJ: Well I have too much on my plate right now. All this media attention. Plus I'd need 30 million dollars for it.
PTA: Oh. Well then.
MJ: But if you bring Jeremy Blackman, we can call it even.
PTA: Deal. He's not doing anything right now anyway.
MJ: Oh, he will be soon enough. But change any
thing to any
one. :uncomfortable laughter:
PTA: Yeah... So. Bye.
guys, what do you think about Michael Jackson?
Move that question into Idle Chatter as this is a good thread and doesn't need to be soiled by opinions on the guy.
EDIT: http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=4658
I always end up just naming my favorite non-PTA-regulars....
-Ben Stiller
-Brittany Murphy
-Gwen Stefani
-Johnny Depp
-Robin Tunney
-Zooey Deschanel
Especially Gwen Stefani.....I don't think he's directed a musician-turned-actress yet...I think that might be interesting. Oh and also, that funny kid from Arrested Development, the one that has a crush on his cousin...I wanna see that kid in a PTA film, I hope he's goin places, cause he's a genius I think, he is only equaled by David Cross in that show. His facial expressions and reactions rival Ben Stiller's.
As for the recurring guys: PSH and JCR of course BUT on screen TOGETHER this time for once....they're never on screen together in any of his films for more than like 5 seconds. Seriously, I want a film where they actually interact dammit, they might be incredible together, I couldn't see why not. That would be amazing.
As for a challenge or two: Helen Hunt, if he can make me like her for just one millisecond, I will have underestimated him once again, if he can work around all of her lame sappy tendencies, I would be more than surprised. Also - Vincent Gallo...he's a great fucking actor but I'm always hearing about how much of an asshole he is, I think it'd be interesting to see PTA try and direct him.
Then for a big comeback: Cybill Shepherd - she's too gorgeous and awesome to just fucking wither away after a canceled funny sitcom. If he doesn't bring her back then I will have to. You'd have to beat me half dead to make me admit how many times I have watched Gamblor's avatar play over and over and over again...seriously, it's kind of pathetic...she's an angel. Oh and he can't forget Corey Feldman either, he was a cool kid, no joke...I have no idea if he was a good actor, he might just have been playing himself in Goonies, but he's funny and cool as cool.
I agree with Ben Stiller. Love 'im.
And I'm adding Jude Law.
Quote from: aclockworkjjQuote from: Gamblor the ManwhoreActors that could use a boost right now:
eddie murphy. timothy hutton.
I don't want Eddie Murphy going anywhere near PTA -- no matter how badly Murphy needs the career boost. *shudders*
Quote from: meatballI agree with Ben Stiller. Love 'im.
And I'm adding Jude Law.
Jude Law would be great.
Parker Posey
Quote from: Lt. Col Baby DinosaurParker Posey
Sooooooooo fucking agreed!!!
I'd love to see Pee-Wee Herman in a PTA movie... but PTA has already taken a poor comedian and worked wonders with him... so nevermind...
How about Corey Haim?
Quote from: Gamblor the ManwhoreI have faith in PTA, but not enough to make Affleck act anywhere near good.
Two words for you Gamblor:
BURT REYNOLDSQuote from: Vile5
John Turturro
Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman and Julianne are the best (and only) actresses with truly and natural talent in hollywood...I imagine her working with Paul on something that goes against the image people have on her- so Fancy and polited- exactly like PTA made with her ex.
And Turturro + Stanley Tucci on a dark comedy by PTA...I'd love that.
Quote from: MacGuffinVile, if you were trying to get my attention with that new avatar, you got it. :yabbse-wink:
ha ha ha...NICE!
Quote from: meatballShe got my attention with the last avatar she picked.
yeah! Jonathan Rhys Meyers was beautiful but i need changes to live so what better than go from a beautiful man to a beautiful mind? and Sir Hitchcock is, was and will be one of my favorite minds :wink:

Filmmakers should swap ensembles.
PTA (Reilly, Moore, Baker Hall, Hoffman) should switch with the Coens. Or maybe with Wes Anderson.
What would PPTA do with Goodman or Coen with PSH?

Quote from: kotteYou know what I mean, anyway.
I'm affraid I don't... :twisted:
Jake Gyllenhaal
Steve Buscemi
Kevin Spacey
Naomi Watts
and I think he should keep using
Melora and Julianne
and of course Philip Seymour Hoffman and WH Macy
Steve Buscemi! Steve Buscemi! Steve Buscemi!
Sean Penn - He was almost in PDL, but I'd like to see something bigger and better for him (but still a comedy).
Daniel Day Lewis - PTA also expressed interest in him. After Gangs of New York, I'll watch anything with this guy in it.
Haley Joel Osment - This kid can act, and everyone knows it, but lately he hasn't been getting the best roles (stupid puberty).
Johnny Depp - Just wishful thinking. Depp rocks my hizzy, and him in a PTA movie would blow my mind.
But I'll take anyone. Who would have thought he would get Emily Watson and Adam Sandler in the same movie, and make it WORK?
Catherine Kenner- she is just brilliant and I think PTA would have fun with her....
Parker Posey
Illeana Douglas
Joan Cusack
Naomi Watts..
I'm kinda sick of Nicole Kidman right now....I hope he doesnt use her....
I like the idea of Parker Posey as well
actually since he made sandler legit in a picture....
now go for the real test and cast carrot top.......if he scores a hit w/carrot top in a film...i will admit that PTA really is a genius....
I'd like to see Bjork in a PTA film.
chris
bjork and the gyllenhalls. i love those gyllenhalls, they're like the white stripes of the movie world, except cool, and they don't suck.
Quote from: NEON MERCURY

I'll see that and raise you...the Olsen Twins.
If only he could do with Damon Wayans what Aronofsky did with Marlon Wayans (though I don't think there's much hope...)
Yea same! I really like Damon Wayans. Still gotta see his Spike Lee flick he did 'Bamboozled'.
(paul, can you read this?)
i've said before and i say it again:
jason muthafuckin lee
salvia divinorum.
Here are My Picks...Bill Murray, Jack Black, Kevin Spacey, Sean Penn, Johnny Depp, Will Ferrell, Robert Deniro, Kevin Kline, Steve Martin, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Lee, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Gene Hackman, and Danny Devito
I just read in the times that Jenniffer Connely wants to be in a PTA movie (aswell as a Coen Bros Movie).
i think the ultimate would be Steve Buscemi.
rick moranis....or crispian glover
Quote from: El Duderinoi think the ultimate would be Steve Buscemi.
I think the ultimate would be you CHANGING YOUR AVATAR AND USERNAME AND STICKING WITH THEM.
Gael Garcia Bernal

PTA
(chuckles)
Hey Corey.
COREY HAIM
Hey what's up bro?
PTA smiles and opens his mouth. He's in some sort of strange awe.
COREY HAIM (cont'd)
So what's up man?
PTA
I'm writing a script...and I've been writing a
character with you in mind.
PTA gets a nervous laugh.
COREY HAIM
Cool who's in it?
PTA
Jacko.
COREY HAIM
Oh... Who else?
PTA
Alan Thicke.
COREY HAIM
What's it called?
PTA
Magnolia 2 ...it's kinda like Magnolia 1,
Boogie Nights, License to drive and Growing
Pains and Moonwalker all mixed into one.
COREY HAIM
Wow! Who am I playing?
PTA
Take the best from Dirk Diggler, Frank T.J.
Mackey and Michael J. Fox and walla, an
aspiring actor who's obsessed with Porto
Rican maids is going through puberty at age 35
and is trying to get his dying father to lend
him his Cadillac.
COREY HAIM
What falls from the sky this time?
PTA
Shit.
COREY HAIM
Sounds awesome I'll definitely do it send the
script to my age... Oh I haven't had one since
89. Just give it to me.
PTA
Last shot of the film we show you have a
thirteen inch penis.
COREY HAIM
Cool!
PTA
Up your ass.
COREY HAIM
(beat)
Cool!

Haha!

Hmmmmmm they look kinda gay in the picture. Kinda creepy gay, even Brad looks kinda of weirdo. That would be a good picture for PTA. A gay musical with Pitt and Reilly.

speed can also be snorted.
I think he should employ Jeremy Blackman again...
Maybe he's at that age now where a roadtrip halfway across the country to find the girl of his dreams, and PTA is the one to direct it!
Or maybe he ages like Haley Joel Osment and shouldn't act again until he's old enough to be unrecognisable. Man that Haley freaks me out now a'days. Puberty is scary.
And this is for all of you planning a some terrible joke involing Jeremy Blackman the Xixax-poster: :evil:
I wonder what that little kid looks like nowadays.
Don Cronson

The other day I was thinking about how much I would love to see John C. Reilly appear in another PTA film and then I realized that there probably are other actors I'd like to see work with him. Like Fassbender or Di Caprio for example.
This is probably a stupid thread but I'm interested in your answers anyway.
Steve Buscemi
Scoot McNairy
Michelle Williams
Juliette Binoche (he's talked about her a lot)
Benicio Del Toro (again, but in a bigger role)
Paul F. Tompkins + Patton Oswalt again (on camera, and for more than 90 seconds total)
Brie Larson
Gary Oldman
Billy Bob Thornton
Tom Hardy
Nicolas Cage
Clive Owen
Willem Dafoe
Keith Carradine
Naomi Watts
Brie Larson (strongly agree)
Tilda Swinton
Rachel McAdams
Catherine Keener
Naomi Watts in particular deserves the chance to give another Mulholland Drive-caliber intense performance. And I'd like to see Rachel McAdams in True Detective mode.
Along with a bunch of the ones mentioned above:
Wakeen
Kevin J. O'Connor
Matthew Perry
Sigourney Weaver
Michael Shannon
Emily Watson
Amy Ryan
Tom Hanks
Note: Thread merged 12 years (to the day!) after its last post.
Zoe Kazan
Rosemarie Dewitt
Ray Wise (I feel very strongly about this one)
Daniel Kaluuya
Matthew Rhys.
Sam Rockwell
Jake Gyllenhal
Riz Ahmed
Melanie Lynskey
Zoe Saldana
Karen Gillan (mostly cuz I think she's hot)

Samuel L. Jackson
Don Cheadle
William H. Macy
Mary Lynn Rajskub
Paul Dano
Amy Adams
Hong Chau
There's the troup.
That's a good game. Let's see:
Samuel L.
Thomas Jane
Melinda Dillon
Robert Smigel
Ciarán Hinds
Rami Malek
Joanna Newsom
I would watch the hell out of that movie. I tried to keep it to actors who have only been in their one respective movie so far (cheated a little with Tom Jane).
i won't contribute to the thread, i just like that we're all on a first name basis with him.

PTA Wants to Work With Tiffany Haddish So Much He's Passed Along His Phone Number (http://www.vulture.com/2018/01/paul-thomas-anderson-wants-to-work-with-tiffany-haddish.html)
QuotePaul Thomas Anderson might have had the privilege of working with Daniel Day-Lewis on the actor's last film, but he might be even more lucky to work on Tiffany Haddish's next project. At the New York Film Critics Circle awards Wednesday night, Anderson wasn't present to receive his award for Best Screenplay for Phantom Thread, but in his absence, he passed along a statement through the film's star Lesley Manville, which included a special message for his "hero" Tiffany Haddish, who won Best Supporting Actress for Girls Trip. "Tiffany," Manville read. "I know everyone wants to work with you now, but please, may I cut to the front of the line?"
Then, Manville read out Anderson's phone number. We won't publish it in full, but please know that, like any good boy from the valley, he had an 818 number. Manville was under instruction to pass the paper with his invitation directly to Haddish, so you can start dreaming of a Paul Thomas Anderson–Tiffany Haddish comedy now.
