Who plays who in the film of 2020

[BigRedBoat]

Disclaimer to say this is intended to be lighthearted!

When they make a movie of the shit show that has been 2020 who would you cast in the key roles?

I reckon:
Boris Johnson - Martin Sheen
Matt Hancock - David tennant
Dominic Cummings - Andy Serkis
Captain Tom - Ian McKellan
Joe wicks - as himself

Boris - Matt Lucas - would be hilarious!

Boris - Matt Lucas - would be hilarious!

He was good in his bake off spoof boris, depends if the movie is going to be a comedy or drama!

I want to see Nicholas Cage as an American Scientist running down corridors shouting.

Chris Whitty played by Toby Jones.

No way would Martin Sheen play Boris, I see Gary Busey as BJ.

I think the OP means Michael Sheen, not Martin. 🙂

Don't know about casting, but here's the soundtrack!

Sorry, better llink

weeds 😆

A dozen of these should form the core contingent of the cast

Matt Lucas does a great Boris. I think Hugh Bonneville could probably take on the BJ role too.

Ben Stiller needs to be Matt Hancock! I don't know if you ever noticed Hancock's creepy 'blue steel' during questions at the old daily briefings but I was fascinated by it.

Another vote for Matt Lucas as Boris. Dev Patel is Rishi. The Krankie woman is Nicola Sturgeon.

Oops yes I did mean Michael sheen 🙈 Martin sheen might be a good trump though?

Ooh yes he is a bit blue steel, I mostly picked David tennant because I love him and Michael sheen together but I'm sure we could find another role for DT.

I've just realised I think I was thinking of Michael sheen for BoJo because he has already played a prime minister (Tony Blair in the queen) so Matt Lucas is a much better suggestion. Love the Kranky suggestion for Nicola sturgeon 😆

Oooooh Michael Sheen does make more sense than Martin Sheen 😂

I feel we need a big name Hollywood actress doing a British accent. Perhaps Reese Witherspoon as Laura Keunsberg...?

David Tennant could play Robert Peston.

Boris Johnson - Robert Glenister
Matt Hancock - Hugh Skinner
Dominic Cummings - Andy Serkis
Chris Whitty - Mark Strong
Captain Tom - David Jason
Laura Kuenssberg - Emma Stone
Robert Peston - David Tennant
Joe wicks - as himself

Nicola Sturgeon - Shirley Henderson
Keir Starmer - Michael Sheen
Neil Ferguson - Stephen Merchant

Chocolate is liked!

@WildCherryBlossom

This!!!!!!!!!!

I like Robert Glennister for Patrick Valance, maybe Don Warrington for Jonathan Van Tam?

Shirley Henderson is a great call for Nicola Sturgeon (I was pondering Kelly McDonald but not quite right)

Perhaps Martin Sheen could be Joe Biden?

depends if the movie is going to be a comedy or drama

It's obviously going to be a comedy of errors.

Hugh Dennis should be in it, so should Tom Hollander.
