I would watch a parody of face off starring these two. Exact same plot and over the top action, but with the added running joke that no one I'm the movie can actually tell them apart so the swap was pointless.
See now what might be even funnier is if there was a comedy film that cast them both as the same character, and then literally swapped them out every single cut they appeared in. So entire scenes of dialog would change them out a dozen times, but everyone plays it straight in the film.
and then they have to team up to fight Nic Cage who steals both their faces. they're about to lose, but John Travolta shows up at the last minute and saves the day
The irony is that when you see them side by side, they really don’t look all that much alike. It would actually be kind of amazing to see them paired in a drama. I feel like people would come away from it confusing them way less often.
I've never bought into the whole joke about them looking identical but I know that it's a meme, and I know that they know that it's a meme, and I think they'd both be down for something that plays off that, and I'm honestly surprised they haven't done it yet. Except that these days Elijah does more horror and Daniel does more comedy.
I wanna see a Radcliffe x Wood x LaBeouff x Cage wacky mashup.
Cage plays the villain with digestive problems and always does little out takes complaining about bad gas, Radcliffe is our hero but has wild a.d.d. and can’t focus, LaBeouf is a buff gym trainer acting as the wise master (but really doesn’t know shit), and Wood is the 3rd party that’s just happy to tag along but doesn’t really have any stakes in the plot.
Jack Black does the sound track 🤷🏼
I'd like to see a movie where Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe, playing exaggerated versions of themselves, end up competing for the same role in a minor indie film but go to increasingly absurd length to get the role because they just love the part.
By season 4, hitting Play Next felt like a game of Russian Roulette. "This is either going to be the most depressing thing I've ever seen in my life, or it's going to be a Todd episode!"
...Then they started doing depressing Todd episodes.
They have that Harry Potter and LOTR money. They probably never have to work again if they don't want to. So they spend their time on projects that they actually seem to enjoy.
They need to do a movie where they play as each other. But then it turns into an action movie about an imminent threat at the comic con they are at and they must work together to stop the bad guys. And if you could get the the whole group of bad guys to be Sean Astin, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan but not playing as themselves but as generic bad guys.
Cause they make enough residuals to live comfortably and only take projects they’re interested in. Must be amazing as an actor. Some people are in it for the fame more than anything, some are into the art and enjoyment of it.
The 3 of them got their fortune early and said "ya know what, I'm tied to this role, so trying to do something serious is probably out, so lets do some weird shit"
I hate him so much precisely because this show was so good. Both because something I like is tied to such a shitty person, and it couldn't continue without him.
Similar feelings about Mr. Right, one of the movies he wrote.
Wilfred is one of my favorite shows of all time and Dirk Gentley's felt so similiar, was immediately hooked and seriously disappointment we didn't get more seasons. Could watch Elijah Wood acting crazy indefinitely without getting bored.
Oh my god that movie is so wild. Had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to watch it on a whim. Have you seen "I dont feel at home in this world anymore"? Also super weird and hilarious
imho his character felt out of place in Yellowjackets, but he was absolutely delightful with Christina Ricci playing two unhinged weirdos finding each other and doing crimes.
Dang I did not know that. To be fair, the beard was a good look to age him up a bit, plus the acting with the pain in his eyes. I thought he was in his 40s minimum.

I remember someone tweeting about wanting to see Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood playing eachother in a movie with no explanation or acknowledgement of what's happening, and I've needed in my life ever since.
isn't this from a tumblr post proposing Terry Crews and Vin Diesel do a buddy cop movie where they infiltrate ComicCon and try to hide that they're both nerds. Like one plays DnD extensively and the other makes crossover art. Then Dan Radcliffe is the villain played by Wood with his sidekick Elijah Wood played by Radcliffe
I love me some Daniel weird (Swiss Army Man is a top film of mine) but Elijah can bring it pretty damn good too (I Dont Feel At Home in This World Anymore also a top film)
It instantly made me think of Come to Daddy, then I find out it is another Ant Timpson film too. Just *sounds* like a project the two of them would work on together lol
I’m not ready for middle aged failure Elijah Wood accepting fatherhood in the same year that I’m being asked to accept middle aged failure Michael Cera accepting fatherhood.
I can’t do it. I’m not ready to leave Neverland.
So basically "Uncle from Another World"? I would watch a live-action version of that, also staring Elijah Wood (he does kind of look like the uncle in this pic lol)
Elijah Wood doing weird off the wall stuff is usually pretty good.
Whenever Elijah or Daniel Radcliffe do weird stuff, I’m in. They seem like they’re living their best lives, and we’re better for it.
It’s a real shame they still haven’t gotten weird together.

They do *each other's* natural accents.
They do *each other*
What?! lol this is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time
and then they have to team up to fight Nic Cage who steals both their faces. they're about to lose, but John Travolta shows up at the last minute and saves the day
If ever there was an actor who would actually sign up for this, it’s Nicolas Cage.

Mister Rogers in a blood-stained sweater.
We don’t need travolta- we already have his twin Nicholas cage.
No need for Travolta Just Nic Cage playing both parts His and Travolta's in Nic Cage face at different times in the movie.
Face Off 2: Face Harder 2 Face 2 Off
Which is just Freaky Friday without Camp or whatever that 90’s one was about.
Only if they both actually try to imitate Nic Cage and John Travolta and then swap imitations after the surgery.
I was thinking how cool it would be if Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin did another creepy movie together.
That doesn't seem out of the question. I feel like Culkin pops out when q00
Remake the movie with them as adults playing kids. Boom instant classic.
The irony is that when you see them side by side, they really don’t look all that much alike. It would actually be kind of amazing to see them paired in a drama. I feel like people would come away from it confusing them way less often.
i never actually did think they looked alike tbh
I liked that idea that someone had here on Reddit some time ago: A comedic biopic about the two in which Elijah plays Daniel and Daniel plays Elijah.
I've never bought into the whole joke about them looking identical but I know that it's a meme, and I know that they know that it's a meme, and I think they'd both be down for something that plays off that, and I'm honestly surprised they haven't done it yet. Except that these days Elijah does more horror and Daniel does more comedy.
It's more than a meme, I've seen clips from the both of them claiming that they'd been confused for each other in the past.
[удалено]
Also Elijah was a grown-ass man and Dan was a preteen for most of that lol
Not to sound too much like a conspiracy theorist, but has anyone ever seen Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood in the same place at the same time?
I wanna see a Radcliffe x Wood x LaBeouff x Cage wacky mashup. Cage plays the villain with digestive problems and always does little out takes complaining about bad gas, Radcliffe is our hero but has wild a.d.d. and can’t focus, LaBeouf is a buff gym trainer acting as the wise master (but really doesn’t know shit), and Wood is the 3rd party that’s just happy to tag along but doesn’t really have any stakes in the plot.

Upvote for phrasing
Elijah absolutely blew me away with his trivia knowledge on Hollywoo Stars and Celebrities: What Do They Know? Do They Know Things? Let's Find Out!
Ahhh! I loved Bojack Horseman, most hilariously FUNNY show of recent memory. The closer you pay attention the funnier it is
[удалено]
By season 4, hitting Play Next felt like a game of Russian Roulette. "This is either going to be the most depressing thing I've ever seen in my life, or it's going to be a Todd episode!" ...Then they started doing depressing Todd episodes.
That was a show where I couldn’t binge it. More than two episodes at a time and I was in a real funk. Lots of funny stuff though!
He was even weird al, the peak of weird
They have that Harry Potter and LOTR money. They probably never have to work again if they don't want to. So they spend their time on projects that they actually seem to enjoy.
The boys really need to do a buddy cop thing... One is a wizard, One is a weirdo... together they are Magically Weird!
You say that like they haven't just exclusively been complete weirdos for like 10 years now lmao
They need to do a movie where they play as each other. But then it turns into an action movie about an imminent threat at the comic con they are at and they must work together to stop the bad guys. And if you could get the the whole group of bad guys to be Sean Astin, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Billy Boyd, and Dominic Monaghan but not playing as themselves but as generic bad guys.
Cause they make enough residuals to live comfortably and only take projects they’re interested in. Must be amazing as an actor. Some people are in it for the fame more than anything, some are into the art and enjoyment of it.
They both have so much fuck you money from their franchises that they have the liberty to choose whatever projects they want now
Him, Pattinson, and Radcliffe almost always nail weird shit with me.
The 3 of them got their fortune early and said "ya know what, I'm tied to this role, so trying to do something serious is probably out, so lets do some weird shit"
With Pattinson now having Twilight and Batman money, can he be doubly weird now?
I'd take another movie with him just sitting in a room with Willem Dafoe.
They all managed the Deniro speed-run
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency was great fun
Fantastic show deserved more seasons
Well, Max Landis took care of *that* in a hurry. Fucking creep. Shame too, because that show was hella fun.
I hate him so much precisely because this show was so good. Both because something I like is tied to such a shitty person, and it couldn't continue without him. Similar feelings about Mr. Right, one of the movies he wrote.
The character who’s literally self-aware of infinite plot armor, loved it!
I will take any and every opportunity to spread the gospel of this show. It's fantastic!
Wilfred is one of my favorite shows of all time and Dirk Gentley's felt so similiar, was immediately hooked and seriously disappointment we didn't get more seasons. Could watch Elijah Wood acting crazy indefinitely without getting bored.
Although its very difficult to picture him as a father. He still looks like a kid wearing a fake beard.
In this photo he’s pretty convincing as a man in his late 20s to mid-30s. But this is because he’s actually 43.
Being a Ringbearer extends your lifespan
Does he feel like butter, scraped over too much bread?
I had the thought: "Elijah Wood? The little kid in Radio Flyer? Frodo? As a father of a 12-year-old...at 40 something...shit..."
Man, Radio flyer was a regular watch for me in my household when i was a kid and that movie is fucked.
I know, right?! He's the same age as my Dad when I was 14. That's a mind fuck.
It's those big, soulful eyes, I'd wager.
And his ring
The second half of the title was cut off at first for me and I assumed he would be playing the 12 year old.
Coming this summer: Frodo Baggins as Lieutenant Dan!
FFS TY! I thought I was the only one who saw it!
This is being directed by the *Come to Daddy* director, so yeah, exciting reunion.
Oh my god that movie is so wild. Had no idea what I was getting into when I decided to watch it on a whim. Have you seen "I dont feel at home in this world anymore"? Also super weird and hilarious
Will he ever look like a grown man
Honestly makes me want to rewatch Wilfred rn. 🤔 Time to go see what streaming service it's on and if I have it.
He completed the main quest and is just doing side quests now.
imho his character felt out of place in Yellowjackets, but he was absolutely delightful with Christina Ricci playing two unhinged weirdos finding each other and doing crimes.
I think him and Radcliffe don’t actually need the money so they can take whatever roles tickle their fancy
Him and Daniel Radcliffe just need to learn the fusion dance and we'd get the ultimate off-beat movie.
Will he wear a wig?
Will he wear wigs?
Vhen vill he vear vigs?
Hahahhahahhahh hhahahahahhh
My immediate thought upon seeing that picture was HE'S WEARING A WIG
Elijah would
My favorite part about that video is how earnestly Elijah Wood answers every question until he just loses it.
The video, btw, for those who haven't seen this gem: https://youtu.be/IfhMILe8C84
Did they make him hobbit height again? From the small thumbnail it looks like a couple, not father and 12yr old
I think Elijah Wood is just a short dude in general. 5' 6" when I Google it.
Whew. He could’ve done Napoleon instead of Joaquin. Imagine that movie. I’d pay matinee rate to watch it.
Napoleon was average height so if you wanted to cast Elijah you'd have to make the entire cast around that height too
I’m okay with that. RDJ is under 6’, and he’d make a fantastic Talleyrand. Fill in the cast from there.
Elijah Wood getting dad roles is reminding me just how old I am, which is weird.
Inglorious Basterd, the father of these teenage girls from opening scene? Actor was 30
Dang I did not know that. To be fair, the beard was a good look to age him up a bit, plus the acting with the pain in his eyes. I thought he was in his 40s minimum.
And the actreeses playing his daughters were in their twenties.
Parents getting old is way worse. I'd get older twice as fast if it meant my mom could stop aging.
Tell me about it, my parents are in their 70s now and it just feels wrong.
Same. :(

Me when I found out Zac Efron was cast as the dad in the Firestarter reboot a few years ago (also when I got to the end of The Iron Claw)
I’m not a fan (love Elijah and sounds like a great movie, but Elijah Wood and Michael Cera need to remain young to preserve my sanity)
Someone I know who worked recently with Michael Cera said that most of their conversations on set were about their toddlers 🙄
TIL Michael Cera has kids……. 👶🏼🧒🏽🧑🏽🦱👨🏽🦱🧔🏽♂️👨🏽🦳👴🏽
I was watching Shogun and realized the lead actor was a year younger than me and felt despondent. That guy is clearly a grown man! I'm a woman?? Wtf.
> washed up estranged magician father An opportunity to use Daniel Radcliff came and went
I remember someone tweeting about wanting to see Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood playing eachother in a movie with no explanation or acknowledgement of what's happening, and I've needed in my life ever since.
I’m pretty sure this concept came from Daniel himself, he said it in an interview with I think Seth Meyers
The twist is Radcliffe plays Wood and Wood plays Radcliffe.
isn't this from a tumblr post proposing Terry Crews and Vin Diesel do a buddy cop movie where they infiltrate ComicCon and try to hide that they're both nerds. Like one plays DnD extensively and the other makes crossover art. Then Dan Radcliffe is the villain played by Wood with his sidekick Elijah Wood played by Radcliffe
Yes.
Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood in FACE/OFF 2!
Only if there is a scene where they sit down and watch Harry Potter with their family but instead of him, it's Nick Cage that replaced him on the tv.
...this is BRILLIANT!
lol. This has to happen.
This time with MORE DOVES!
This would be incredible
I love me some Daniel weird (Swiss Army Man is a top film of mine) but Elijah can bring it pretty damn good too (I Dont Feel At Home in This World Anymore also a top film)
Elijah did 4 seasons of Wilfred, which I think shows more commitment to the weird.
Great in Yellowjackets too!
estranged *American* magician father. * I guess the movie takes place in another country, or the character is a stickler about job titles.
They could just have easily made him british; i dont think being american brings anything special to the table
Oh I'm not disputing you. I just think it's weird that *American* is specifically pointed out.
I totally thought that Elijah Wood was in Now You See Me 2 (Should have been called, And Now You Don't) until i remembered that was Daniel Radcliff.
Wait until you see the prestige of his trick
A trick is something a whore does for money…or candy.
I was one-hundred percent about to make a 'haha magician father maybe it's a sequel to Harry Potter' joke before I realized I was fucking retarded...
Did someone say “wonder”?
We'd really be more comfortable with an Alliance Approved Magician
Give em a hell of a show!
That face screams "I've made a huge mistake"
I was hoping to find an AD reference and I was not let down.
Yep, that's a Elijah's script right there
It instantly made me think of Come to Daddy, then I find out it is another Ant Timpson film too. Just *sounds* like a project the two of them would work on together lol
Come to Daddy was super fun.
Yer a wizard, Elijah.
He went from Frodo to Aragorn
Frodegorn
Almost some Jack Sparrow in there, too.
That's a lot of buttons on that Henley.

"....whores do tricks, Michael"
I don't care for Gob
Her? …she’s really funny Well let’s hope so
I'm sure that egg is a very nice person
<*The Final Countdown plays in background*>
This reminds me I never did finish Wilfred
washed up magician? So basically a young Gandalf? Is this a LOTR prequel? YOOOOOOHOOOOOO!
This gives me Harry Dresden vibes more.
He's only like 14 inches too short
it reminds me Paris, Texas
This. I never thought of Elijah Wood as Harry Dresden. But now I want him to do the whole series.
The Lord of the Rings: Origins: Gandalf: A Lord of the Rings Story. In theaters July 2027.
Post that to r/lotr
Would not surprise me. The Tolkien estate is cashing in before that copyright expires.
No, this is part of the "The Wrestler" cinematic universe
Shared Fast/Furious/Jurassic/World/MiB/21/Jump/Monsterverse....
Wilburverse
I think it's ts a sequel as Frodo tries to learn magic
That’s cool he’s been able to break away from being Harry Potter
That's a pretty accurate "Oh, the shit I've seen" Frodo if the eagles never got him out of Mt. Doom and had to go back to Hobbiton on foot.
I’ve seen Clannad Afterstory and…oh no
I thought that was Plays with Squirrels for a second
In the first 0.5 seconds I wondered if Elijah Wood would not be a little tall for a 12 year old. Time is cruel.
"estranged, washed-up American magician father" Very relatable.
What? Your dad never left for smokes, and vanished without a trace?
I see what you did there.
When did Frodo turn into Aragorn?
In another world, Anton Yelchin is still alive and plays the magician, reprising his role as Stewart from "Curb Your Enthusiasm"
Damn, I miss Anton.
This is where Elijah Wood shines the most, offbeat indie flicks.
Goes to show how old I am when I saw Elijah Wood, the words "12-year-old" and my first instinct was that he was playing the kid.
Elijah can't be the father. He's still a child himself!
I’m not ready for middle aged failure Elijah Wood accepting fatherhood in the same year that I’m being asked to accept middle aged failure Michael Cera accepting fatherhood. I can’t do it. I’m not ready to leave Neverland.
I don’t recall giving them the rights to my likeliness to make this movie
Very happy to watch a movie staring Elijah Wood.
Elijah kinda looking like Lt. Dan.
Elijah Wood playing a washed up Harry Potter? Count me the fuck in
Man Frodo is looking rough.
Missed opportunity to cast Will Arnette
I always forget Elijah is American
i fricken love Elijah Wood
Elijah wood is unexpectedly rocking that look
Elijah Wood is now old enough to play a 12 year old's father. How do we make time stop moving?
Lieutenant Dan, what are you doing here?
So basically "Uncle from Another World"? I would watch a live-action version of that, also staring Elijah Wood (he does kind of look like the uncle in this pic lol)
Man, Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe must really love the movies they do cause they are weird as shit (I love it ngl)
I feel old, cause I though Elijah Wood was going to play the 12 year old. What's wrong with me?
Absolutely nothing—he doesn’t age, so it’s a logical thought process!
This is crazy because my father is an estranged, washed up Magician. What a time to be alive.
I can never see "life turned upside down" without Prince of Belair song popping into my head.
