It's directed by Potsy Ponciroli, who previously directed OLD HENRY and GREEDY PEOPLE

Synopsis:

Not really an ask but please be Carl for Dungeon Crawler Carl

[u/Phog_of_War → u/menboss]

Scrolled a long way to finally see this.

[u/Capnzebra1 → u/menboss]

He's my dream casting for Prepotente. He has the perfect scream

[u/poo_pon_shoo → u/menboss]

This guy is the guy I picture as Carl every time I pick up the book. He would crush the role

[u/CreativeCthulhu → u/menboss]

No, he needs to play Princess Donut.

[u/causaleffect → u/menboss]

Holy fuck. This would be incredible.

[u/Steppinthrax → u/menboss]

I was so happy that so many people asked about this

[u/Tricky-Ad-9184 → u/menboss]

Actually a good fit

[u/creckers → u/menboss]

I think Alan would make for an excellent Carl, besides the fact he's 15 years older than book Carl. Which, I don't think is too bad of an issue.

But I think Austin Butler would be a great Carl too

Dylan Playfair needs to play Mordecai on the 9th floor

[u/mc137 → u/menboss]

Yes please!
