- m348e912 4y agoI was thinking the same thing as I was reading the wiki -- this event could make for an absurd but fantastic movie. And yes, filmed in the style of "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" would be especially entertaining.

- xNeil 4y agoNot OP, but thanks an absolute tonne for the recommendation!
- bee_rider 4y agoI guess you'd want a young guy for this sort of role, but I can't think of anyone like Clooney nowadays. The way he just sort of automatically exudes gravitas makes him surprisingly effective in comedy I think. Because comedy requires surprises, and even when he's playing a goofy character it is still somehow surprising when he does something silly.
- wolfram74 4y agoBased on his performance in The Nice Guys, Ryan Gosling is my first impulse to approximate young Clooney, but I might very easily be a cinema philistine.
- bee_rider 4y agoAh, that's interesting. I've typecase Gosling as a shallow heartthrob in my head, even though he's been doing interesting roles for ages.
- bmitc 4y agoGosling was hilarious in that movie. He seems to really enjoy playing goofy stuff. He is funny in his SNL appearances as well. But Clooney is a master at goofy. Intolerable Cruelty is the most underrated movie ever.
