Sometimes I want to see actors I like in different roles. So I made a list. It may have gotten a bit out of hand towards the end.
Heavily Ireland and UK centered. I may have to say that I don't hate Matt Smith.
Let Fionnula Flannagan be a mobster
make Colin Farrell an elf
he‘s got the eyebrows
i want Mia Wasikowska and Emily Browning to be sisters
on a killing spree
put Ben Mendelsohn in shiny robes
let Colin Morgan be a proper villain
and Gemma Chan a guitar player
in a glam rock band
put Michael Sheen in a musical
I mean, have you heard that man sing?
just give Nina Sosanya
every roll that she wants
let Olivia Coleman be a ghost
that haunts an abandoned toy factory
Brendan Gleeson the gay uncle
of Riz Ahmed who‘s a werewolf
and in love with Susan Lynch
who is running for mayor
when her dark past is revealed
meanwhile Ruth Negga is
a crime solving nun
and friends with Imelda Staunton
who runs the local pub
where Noomi Rapace and Mireille Enos
are celebrating their fifth anniversary
when suddenly
Matt Smith breaks down and dies

"may have gotten a bit out of hand towards the end"
On the contrary, I feel like your song came into its own in the back half. You start with a list song, then the 2nd stanza goes a bit meta. But the really wonderful part is how your last 2 stanzas describe a single story. It's wonderful. And you sing it well. I want to see that movie (and the others, too—especially Mia Wasikowska and Emily Browning portraying sisters who leave a trail of bodies on their way to ?????).

Unglaublich... ich kenne nicht eine der Personen. Lese wohl zu selten die Namen der Schauspieler*innen nach einem Film. Aber ein wundervoller Song den du da aufgenommen hast und die Idee wo und wie du diese Schauspieler*innen handeln sehen möchtest finde ich voll cool.

Haha this is a great fun lyric, very clever! I’m sure Olivia Coleman would even nail the ghost in a toy factory. Love the traditional, folky sound to the song which suites the lyric to a T. Think my favourite lines was about making Colin Farrell and elf due to his eyebrows

Großartige Idee/n! Köstlicher Text - obwohl auch ich (einmal mehr) zugeben muss, von den Genannten nur wenige namentlich zu kennen (und selbst diesen wenigen nur hie und da Gesichter oder Gestalten bzw. Rollen zuordnen zu können). Aber ich wünschte mir, die müssten alle deinem Song folgen und tun, was du da singst. Und das sähe ich mir an!

It's a bit embarrassing, but I don't know any of the people you mentioned in this lovely song ... but I would wish to see this movie, for sure!

What a great concept and a lovely delivery too many good words to mention, although olivia coleman is a beauty!

Ich kenne leider nur Colin Farrell und den mag ich sehr …
Lustige Idee … klingt wie ein eigenes Drehbuch für einen Film!
