What actors would you like to see direct a film?


Out of all the current actors who have never directed a film, who would you most like to see direct? I would like to see these actors direct a film:

Darby Camp
Mckenna Grace
Violet McGraw
Jenna Ortega
Sydney Sweeney

Since this is all hypothetical, I'll say I wish Mort Sahl would have directed. He wrote 22 movies, but none were ever made. First sale was to Clint Eastwood (but it wasn't made because Mort refused to do a 2nd treatment without pay). Looking at old newspapers, they announced "The Last Anchorman" (Gregory Peck, Meryl Streep) to come out in 1978, but it never happened.

Darby Camp
Mckenna Grace
Violet McGraw

Why? What could they have possibly done in their career that would make them good directors?

reply

I think they have potential and talent. I would be curious to see what a film directed by any of them would be like.

I've never heard of any of the people you mentioned except for Sydney Sweeney, so I looked them up. The first three are teenage girls, ranging in age from 13 to 17. Why would you want to see a movie directed by a teenybopper?

I don't know why anyone would want to see a movie directed by someone who not only has never directed before, but also has done nothing to indicate that they would be any good at it, but if I were to choose someone like that, it certainly wouldn't be someone whose brain won't even be fully developed until about the year 2036. It would at least be someone who is well into adulthood and who has been in the movie industry for longer than my bottle of Worcestershire sauce has been in the refrigerator.

😂VERY FAIR AND FUNNY.

I just think it would be interesting to see a movie directed by a teen.

reply

Interesting? As in, a train wreck? I think it's more interesting seeing movies directed by people who know what they're doing.

Out of all the current actors who have never directed a film, who would you most like to see direct? I would like to see these actors direct a film:

Darby Camp - age 16, b. July 14, 2007
Mckenna Grace - age 17, b. June 15, 2006
Violet McGraw - age 13, b. Apr 22, 2011
Jenna Ortega - age 21, b. Sept 27, 2002
Sydney Sweeney - age 26, b. Sept 12, 1997


The first three are girls who are not old enough to be legally bound to sign a contract in the USA, (based on the Uniform Commercial Code). Violet McGraw is not old enough to even attend high school.

No insurance company would issue a completion bond to a movie production company for a film being directed by a teenage girl.

Tom Cruise - he has that intensity required.

That would be interesting to see.

reply

I was going to say Johnny Depp, but I just checked his IMDb, and it says he directed a feature in 1997 and currently has another one in Post-Production.

I can't think of anyone else.

Gary Busey
Colleen Camp
Crispin Glover (I know he's done a few, but more please)
Charlie Sheen
Wesley Snipes
Amber Heard
Rachel Weisz
Brian Bosworth
Miley Cyrus
