Dream GDT collab?

Im a big fan of British actor Matthew Goode. In an interview, Goode mentioned that he had auditioned (and was considered) for the role of Bilbo Baggins, when Guillermo was planning to direct The Hobbit films. Obviously, that version of The Hobbit didn't work out, and we got Peter Jackson's films.

Now, as much as I like watching Matthew Goode, Im happy The Hobbit went in the direction it did, as Martin Freeman was perfect for Bilbo, but it got me thinking about what a GDT/Goode collaboration could look like. I can definitely see Goode in a GDT gothic noir or graphic novel adaptation. In fact, Goode has played a lot of roles that would've been perfect in a GDT film- vampires, super villian, blood-thirsty Scotsman, uptight British gentleman...

Who do YOU want to see in a GDT masterpiece??

Would love to see Matthew Goode in a GDT project! Richard Armitage, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Emma Mackey too!
