These 12 Actors Are So Similar That Someone Came Up With A Crazy Movie Script Idea For Them

When it comes to movies, we all want to watch great ones. But recently, it can sometimes seem like the majority of films that are made in Hollywood are so similar to one another. They don’t stand out, and they feel like they’re mass-made in some script-producing factory.

Fortunately, it seems that the internet once again comes to the rescue and offers a movie premise that is bound to catch our attention. Well, Tumblr user Dontbugmeimantisocial noticed how similar a lot of Hollywood actors look and shared their idea of making a movie about rival gangs whose members are actually clones of each other.

For example, Tom Hardy and Logan Marshal Green really do look like they’re related when you put them side by side. And there are plenty more Hollywood stars who would be almost perfect for playing each other’s clones.

Someone had a great idea for a movie based on how similar some Hollywood actors look

Someone certainly thought that the Tumblr user’s idea was brilliant enough to warrant sharing on Imgur; there, it got more than 4,300 upvotes in just a day’s time.

Some internet users pitched their own ideas of actor duos who could also be in the film, while others expressed their enthusiasm to see the project make it to the silver screen. Of course, there were some naysayers who thought that some of the actors looked nothing alike, apart from superficial things like having a similar hairstyle.

Kyle Buchanan writes in The New York Times that the movie industry (or rather the younger generation’s perception of it) is changing rapidly. For the article, he interviewed 24 Hollywood figures, including actor Kumail Nanjiani, and got their perspectives on things.

“I was at a bar with a friend who directs big movies, and while we were in line for the bathroom, he was saying that movie theaters were going to go away. He was like, ‘Kids don’t watch movies, they watch YouTube,’” Nanjiani told The New York Times.

Movies don’t hold the same weight that they used to before. That has almost everything to do with the rise of streaming services like Netflix, as well as the existence of the powerhouse that is YouTube. And this means that some brand-name blockbusters aren’t busting blocks anymore. Meanwhile, it’s harder and harder for small studios to survive, as they’re ‘gobbled up’ by bigger ones.

“This is the biggest shift in the content business in the history of Hollywood,” producer Jason Blum told Buchanan.

Dear Pandas, which actor duo in Tumblr user Dontbugmeimantisocial’s post do you think looks the most alike? (We’d probably have to say Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood.) What did you think of Dontbugmeimantisocial’s movie idea? Would it be the kind of film that you’d like to see? What’s your opinion about the current state of Hollywood? Let everyone know what you think in the comments!
