After twenty five years in Hollywood, two titans have finally been cast in the same film. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, directed by fellow legend-in-the-making Quentin Tarantino, features two of our favorite style icons Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio together for the first time in their careers, and we could not be happier. This must be what it felt like to eat peanut butter and jelly for the first time.

This casting has inspired us to imagine other iconic film duos that we’d love to see pair up (or square off) on the same screen and therefore break our collective minds. There are probably ones we’re forgetting, but here’s who we’ve come up with so far.





We chose our pairs based on the following criteria:

Pairs must NOT have previously starred in a film together.

Both have to have an impeccable sense of style as well as versatile, Oscar-caliber acting chops.

The duo had to bring something NEW to the screen, adding a new dimension to each others’ performance, and



The pair have to be two actors who make us say “…oh FUCK YES they should do a movie together.









Denzel Washington & George Clooney

Both are legendary Oscar winners that EXUDE old fashioned cool and ever-present confidence. Both can be referred to as just their first names. It seems like a no-brainer to have these two giants square off in a Pacino/DeNiro-esque remake of Heat, should they ever decide to redo that one (and, let’s face it…with all of the shitty remakes in the past ten years, we’re owed a good one.)





Jack Nicholson & Michael Caine

The elder statesmen of Hollywood. Royalty. Living Fucking Legends. There’s not much more that can be said about a man who’s played The Joker, a werewolf, and even The Devil himself. There’s also so much more to Sir Michael Caine than Alfred Pennyworth; be it eternal bachelor Alfie, or Charlie Croaker in the original installment of The Italian Job. Seeing these two together (before it’s too late…let’s face it,) would be something to see for sure.









Tom Cruise & Leonardo DiCaprio

It’s true. Tom Cruise may very well be a vampire. He hasn’t aged since Top Gun and he still does his own stunts, well into his fifties. Leo, on the other hand, SHOULD have about seven Academy Awards by now, even though he only has the consolation trophy given to him for The Revenant. We’d love to see them do a film together simply to see if the space-time continuum tears apart.

Tom Hardy & Jude Law

Brash. Tough. Hard.

Tom Hardy has made a name for himself in the past fifteen years as one of the hardest working actors of his generation, both in terms of physical changeability as well as straight up acting ability. Jude Law (AKA Alfie Number Two,) also ranks among the great British theapians of the last half century, nailing iconic roles in The Talented Mr. Ripley, Gattaca, the Sherlock Holmes films, and Cold Mountain (we are trying to forgive and forget Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.)





Idris Elba & Daniel Craig

This one seemed obvious, at least to us. We’ve made no secret and written no shortage of posts suggested, begging, demanding for Idris Elba to be the next James Bond. That said, we think Daniel Craig is second only to Sir Sean Connery in terms of actors who have played 007, and that’s mainly due to Connery getting points for being the first Bond. When Craig does finally put down the Walther, we’ll gladly cheer Stringer Bell step into the Aston Martin. Until then, can we get these two Brits in a Great Escape remake of a buddy cop movie to tide us over?





Brad Pitt & Ryan Gosling

For no other reason than we like the way these guys dress and talk, we gotta see these two gents tag team a whodunit together, or maybe as a father-son cop drama. Either way, we all win and we have yet another movie from which we can steal outfit ideas.
