If you could design an app to add actors or characters to a movie, which ones would you add?

Try to list at least three or four(add the types of movies you'd add them TO:

For a start, I'd like the option of adding:

A)Angelina Jolie
B)Gojira(in westerns or courtroom dramas)
C)Bogart
D)The "old-school" Oompa-Loompas(in any film starring "The Rock&quot
E)"Booger" from REVENGE OF THE NERDS
F)Edward G. Robinson(but only as "Dathan" from THE TEN COMMANDMENTS)

Add yours below

They have to act like the characters they usually play but they aren't part of the movie when you add them with the app. Instead they appear in the film but are puzzled at what the fuck is going on? Where am I, how did I get here? But they act like their characters. For example.

Woody Allen - Put him in Star Wars. The Cantina scene. He has no idea where the fuck he is or how he ended up in the middle of an alien bar. Now picture your typical Woody Allen character stumbling about asking where he is, what's going on, in Star Wars.

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Place him in Hamlet or some other well acted period piece, and let the hilarity ensue.

Daniel Day-Lewis - Just cause he's such an amazing actor, I'd like to be able to see his take on any number of characters.

I'm not even a Star Wars fan but the idea of Vader in one of those crappy Kate Hudson vehicles just being himself and choking out the male lead for being a weenie makes me giddy with joy.

He could eat the original Oompa-Loompas and the bratty kids and still have room for dessert. Jabba could probably do well as a villan in a Bond Film.

Eastwood as Dirty Harry. He could make an impression in Mary Poppins and other musicals.

Rutger Hauer as the cop Harley Stone from Spilt Second. He would be good in Shakespeare and Disney.
