Ask Lemmy

Robin Williams.

Any movie, any timeframe, any subject.

Heath ledger after dark Knight. Who knew he could act?

Riding high on the success of Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar, Disney decides to pilfer from Shakespeare this time. In March of 1995, the world witnesses the release of Disney's Othello. The entire reason for this movie's existence is to have Gilbert Gottfried as Iago. Not just like a funny casting joke, he's the parrot from Aladdin. He wears like a hat and vest in this one or something, and no one ever mentions Aladdin or Agrabah, but it's like Baloo in TailSpin, you know damn well it's the same dude.

Alan Rickman - Galaxy Quest Sequel.

John candy, space balls 2.

Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I'd cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

Anton Yelchin in another Star Trek film. Gone way too soon.

Not sure exactly what I'd put him in, but Christopher Lee

Ronald Reagan. Any movie where he's a stigmatized gay man during the early AIDS epidemic. I want to sit in that directors chair and watch him get more and more visibly uncomfortable.

Tim Curry, any age. I know theres already a lot of him at many stages of his life I just need one more hit, man

I have always wanted to check out the timeline where Chris Farley was Shrek.

Raul Julia. And since we're working miracles, I'm also taking away his cancer and all of the complications that followed to let the one more movie be post-Street Fighter.

There’s a strong case to be made the Rise Of Skywalker was the shit-show it was because Carrie Fisher died. The idea for the trilogy (as little of a plan as there actually was) was for the first film to centre Han, the second to centre Luke, and the third to centre Leia.

Then Fisher died and they had to rework the entire film without any change to the release schedule. And they reanimated her corpse in the most unconvincing and disrespectful way.

I’m not saying the film would have been good - because it probably wouldn’t have been - but I don’t think it would have been the silly, incoherent mess that it actually was. And it’d have been nice for Fisher to be able to give Leia a proper send-off, especially as the character was what catapulted her into stardom in the first place.

Vincent Price with maybe another film based on a work of Edgar Alan Poe. :-)

Not a dead actor but an actor too old for the role I'm imagining: I think McKenna Grace should have starred in a Home Alone movie while she was still young enough. We have six Home Alone movies starring boys, it'd be cool to have one starring a girl.

Since you said, "one more movie", I guess it has to be a movie actor. Otherwise, I'd probably pick an author like Shakespeare, who was also an actor, and obviously, he'd be acting in something new that he wrote. Wouldn't it be better to end up with a new work?

Otherwise, I'd choose a universally beloved actor who would be willing to make a serious movie that speaks out against what is happening today in America will authority, conviction, and gravitas. Like, Charlie Chaplin starred in The Great Dictator. Maybe he'd be excited to star in a movie that shits all over Trump and MAGA.

Brandon Lee. A Crow sequel.

I choose the TRON franchise. I want to bring it back from the dead and do a TRON Legacy sequel starring Elijah Wood as Beck.

If I'm not allowed to bring franchises back from the dead then I choose the old man from the first movie, he's probably dead by now.

John Belushi, maybe a year or two before he starred as Joliet Jake Blues.

I could go for another Farley + Spade buddy movie but at their ages they would be now. I wonder what that would look like in 2025.
