Movie idea
How's this for a tragicomic buddy-movie idea: Two aging, but still splendid actors find themselves doomed to live out their acting lives reprising their respective late-career blockbuster roles.
Anthony Hopkins as a Hannibal Lectoresque psychotic killer, and Ben Kingsley as a Don Loganish psychopathic gangster killer.*
They get fed up and start preying on producers and studio execs in a macabre killing spree.
___
On a related note, Kingsley is also being typecast as old Jewish criminals: in the span of less than two years (2005-06), he played the film roles of "Fagin", "Kagan," and "The Rabbi."
