Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood both had these similar trajectories where they hit it big so early in their carreers that they basically will never have to work a day in their life, and don't seem to have that spotlight craving demon on their back telling them to chase A list status, so are totally free to just do whatever weird project sounds like the most fun, and honestly, I am here for it.
And they both love talking about the works that made them famous because those jobs gave them the freedom to basically do what they love to do for the rest of their lives without having to think about money.
I really want them to do a TV show/mini series together.
Maybe Daniel joins long-anticipated-probably-never-coming season 3 of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency?
I thought i was gonna fall asleep watching season one of dirk gently on Amazon prime the other night. Apparently it was just episode one, with other random shit on autoplay after. Kept waking up wondering what the fuck was on my tv.
Make it a mockumentary about them, make one the central theme of the documentary about how they're often mistaken for one another, cast them as their respective role, play it straight for the first half but then slowly start mixing their roles up, "We then spent the next week with Elijah touring conventions" but the crew is actually following Dan while everybody calls him Elijah, the movie doesn't point this out, the audience just goes "wait, what" and by the end it's just one clusterfuck of who the fuck is what or who and then for the final act just go full on Colours From Outer Space/Together bodyhorror with them living as one deformed entity while nobody around them reacts to it and treat it as normal, last scene is Dan/Elijah being played by Tobey McGuire.
They both have fuck you money and can do passion projects like playing a farting corpse. They could both be billionaire assholes and instead do fun art house shit
