1. Elisabeth Shue and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Ok, these two are really dead ringers. It makes so much sense. One would be a strung out hooker, the other a strung out crackwhore. They can flip a coin. Co-dependent fun! The movie would be crazy depressing and intense. Oscar noms for both.
2. Julia Roberts and Juliette Binoche. These two have very similar features. Maybe Juliette Binoche ran away to France at a young age and then their mother died and Julia Roberts had to go back to Europe for a tense reunion. Total chick-flick.
3. Emily Blunt and Marion Cotillard. If you thought Shue and Jason Leigh were dead ringers, check this out! Maybe this film could have a bit of a horror/thriller aspect to it; or better yet, some weird doubling trippiness, penned by Charlie Kaufmann. Makes sense.
4. Winona Ryder and Keira Knightley. Two hip trendy New Yorkers fall in love with the same guy. A lot of tension ensues. I don't know what happens, but I can see them wearing a lot of couture trench coats and stuff.
5. Lesley Ann Warren and Susan Sarandon. Susan is an upscale rich socialite; Lesley is her homebody embarrassment of a sister. One of them gets sick. The other must care for her. Basically Marvin's Room without the beach.
6. Meryl Streep and Tilda Swinton. I don't know if they are sisters or mother/daughter. Maybe Meryl is the mom and Tilda moves back in after abandoning her family. She needed to find herself again and wise Mom has all the answers.
7. Kate Beckinsale and Parker Posey. Let's throw some comedy into the mix. Not that Beckinsale will ever be noted for her adept comic timing. This movie will be NYC neurotic city. Parker is crazy and Kate is perfect. This movie will have no plot, but will feature hot outfits and fancy drinks.
8. Charlize Theron and Tara from Friday Night Lights. Charlize is the hot older sister who got away. Tara is the hot younger sister who needs to get away. Charlize returns home and convinces Tara to come to the big city and live with her. Everything goes wonderfully for Tara; she misses her at home boyfriend, but in the end, he comes around and moves in with her.
9. Nicole Kidman and Amy Adams. Ok, now you have to imagine a pre-crazy plastic surgery Nicole Kidman. This movie would actually never work, but Days of Thunder Nikki would have matched up nicely with Amy. They are both spoiled sisters, thrust out on their own; most likely a period piece, competing for husbands or something.
10. Alicia Silverstone and Christine Taylor. The sisterhood which has been waiting to happen for years. The only way to salvage this clearly abominal movie would be to attempt at some kind of Romy&Michelle funness. It may go straight to DVD and then live on TBS.I realize these stories are redonk, but the casting is sublime.
