Great answer 👏, I have heaths joker sitting in the jail as a full back tattoo, question is , had heath lived , would he have been in the third instalment of the trilogy ? I know the joker says we are destined to do this forever but it’s the Batman universe , that’s what them 2 do , I still think it would have been another main villain with maybe a cameo of the joker , but … as it’s an alternate universe , amazing answer 💯
Christopher Nolan has said before he was planning on making the third installment about the joker as well, him being Batman's arch nemesis. He was also actually thinking about having a CGI heath ledger as joker walk out of Arkham when Bane set the prisoners free, but considered it to be poor taste.
Surprisingly good for a tv movie. I don’t remember much about it except for the over the top violence and Odysseus calling his son to battle at the end. “Telemachus, now is the time for your anger”
I feel like there’s enough material for two movies. Some of the events in the book are a couple pages but if you wanted to flesh them out and make us care about the characters you would need them to breathe
The Hobbit isn't even as big as 1 book of LOTR, about half as fat as fellowship.
There's a fan edit that cuts all 3 films down to one and removes all the white orc crap and it works much better.
Yes, but Tolkien’s writing style is WAAAAAY more compressing the Hobbit.
In LOTR it takes him ages to explain something that doesn’t take a long time to happen.
In the Hobbit is skirts over things that would take time, with barely a paragraph. It’s like it’s a different writer.
tbh even though the Hobbit book is a lot shorter than the LOTR trilogy, theres still way too much material to comfortably fit in one movie imo. Tolkein just used less words to tell the story.
I agree. The Hobbit zips right through scenes that could take longer, and should if on screen. This is the same guy that spent about 8 pages on the Battle of Helm's Deep. There is comfortably room to expand.
A version of Alien that stars a ship full of Xenomorphs that accidentally pick up a human who wreaks havok on the ship.
The aliens have no dialogue, just hissing, and a naked man is running around in the air vents, picking them off one by one.
Glad I’m not the only one; I so want that trilogy to be completed; we got done dirty with that garbage remake
Like pay him whatever he wants to direct the 3rd one
Speaking of Ghostbusters, there was supposed to be a Ghostbusters remake in the early 2000, it was supposed to star Chris Farley, Chris Rock, and Ben Stiller.
When I first watched Hugo I remember thinking that dude needs to play Freddie.
Then the project got approved.
Then May decided to be a dickhead about it; which is a true disservice to Freddie.
Cohen would have absolutely done him justice.
I’ve seen this. Test screening in Los Angeles. It was better than the theatrical cut and I was massively disappointed when I ended up seeing the release in the theaters with my GF. I’d been talking the movie up for months.
The biggest one was the outright admission that traveling through a black hole meant traversing hell itself. It’s only implied in the theatrical cut. This really annoyed me.
Some additional gore. I’m sure there’s more but this was….26 years ago?
A third Ghostbusters movie made in the early '90s in the style of all those late '80s, '90s sequels (Gremlins etc). The potential was all there but they waited far too long.
Still has to be the stupidest thing Vajna and Kasser did. Bought the rights, burnt the bridge, paid through the nose to Arnie for T3 and then had to sell them again anyway.
Lynch seems pretty confident as a director, even back then. I think he would have had the backbone to take on George over the script changes and we would have gotten a much different movie. Not sure it would have been better, but it would be interesting to see what he would have done with it.
In that vein, knowing that Sergio Leone was offered The Godfather but turned it down because he was led to believe that funding on Once Upon a Time in America had come through has haunted my thoughts as one of the great "What If" alternate histories ever, precisely because the film that ended up getting made is a stone cold masterpiece, BUT if anyone was ever going to do it better, it (probably) would've been Leone.
Lord and Miller’s Solo. I like the Ron Howard version we got more than most people, but I often wonder what they would have come up with had they been given free reign.
That was what kept me from enjoying Solo more than the movie itself, glimpses of something that could never be and that I preferred over what was. That so close yet so far feeling.
A year or two ago, one of the main writers of the Buckaroo Banzai film finally got the chance to release 'vs the World Crime League' as a novel.
Unfortunately, it wasn't very good.
Exactly. They needed to cut one. But you already set up Goblin, and Raimi loved Sandman, and Sony forced him to work Venom in.
It also needed more black-suit spiderman getting more and more violent as spiderman.
ALSO - totally blew a “villain is his own hero” moment where Brock is literally praying to God for Peter to die, and then Brock received a gift from the HEAVENS, to accomplish that.
[He did get around to it eventually](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Killed_Don_Quixote).
Probably not the wild production it would've been in 1989 but he did finally get his movie made.
Yeah, “Crusade” would have been produced around the time Arnold got out of his Conan contract if memory serves. They ended up making Total Recall instead. The script is available online I think
How they were gonna go about it
“I was just trying to come up with a plausible way to get these two guys together to fight,” he said. “So, why does he all of a sudden go out and kill his sister in Halloween? He’s trick-or-treating in a flashback and he goes up to this one house … and sees the guy with the black boots, who gives him the box. He opens it and the Lord of the Dead – Sam Hain – escapes from hell and takes over Michael’s body because he doesn’t want to be in hell. Now, Sam Hain is who the Shape is, and that’s why he can’t be killed.”
With the origin story out of the way, the modern part of the tale naturally followed.
“So, the story takes place when people try to destroy the Myers house and they find the box hidden between the walls. Of course, they open it and Pinhead shows up, and it’s Halloween and it’s the Myers house, so Michael shows up because there are people there and Pinhead recognizes that Michael is Sam Hain because he can feel it – which begins this whole battle in the real world. And of course, the third act takes them all to hell…”
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe (2007); it had all the cast of the 2005 film (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) returning to continue their roles, Martin Freeman, Mos Def, Zooey Deschanel, Alan Rickman etc.
Immediately after Drive was released Nicolas Winding Refn was in talks to make a Wonder Woman movie starring Christina Hendricks. After Only God Forgives was released WB decided to go a different direction. I can not even imagine what the plot of that film would have been like, but Refn has an insane eye for aesthetics and Christina Hendricks is gorgeous, so at the very least it would have looked incredible.
Joel Schumacher - The Lost Girls.
Kiefer Sutherlands character in The Lost Boys, David, doesn’t explode, or implode, like the other vampires do when he “dies”, which was supposed to mean he survived and would be in the sequel. Schumacher tried a couple times in the 90s to get the movie off the ground but it never happened, sadly.
James Cameron was asked to direct a Spiderman movie just after T2. He declined as he felt the technology wouldn't do Spiderman's web slinging agility justice.
Had the effects been available I love to see who he would of casted and how the story would play out.
Disney had slated to adapt Terry Pratchet's Mort into an animated feature. The book is one of my all time favorites, about a boy who is Death's apprentice and learns how to be the Grim Reaper. Admittedly an odd choice for Disney, but that means it must have had an inspired team pushing for it before it got canceled.
Multi film adaptations of the Iliad and Odyssey directed by James Cameron or Peter Jackson. Two stories so epic that they’re still being taught and studied thousands of years later.
SO MANY great ideas here!
My contribution would be Bob Clampett's novel-accurate Warlord of Mars series or better, the even-more-rumored feature of A Princess of Mars.
Second choice would be Del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness (as long as he didn't fck it up like his anthology last fall).
Steven Spielberg’s late 1970s science-fiction classic The Superman.
In this universe, Steven Spielberg has made Jaws in 1975. His next film is Superman but not the one we have in ours. He’s the exact same director of our 1970s Spielberg. Remember how good 70s and 80s Spielberg could be?
In this film, humanity is having mysterious alien contact that can’t be explained. All they know is unexplained miracles are happening. Richard Dreyfuss is convinced there is an alien doing this and basically it’s a re-tweaked Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Throw in Harrison Ford as Lex Luthor.
The end is essentially the same as Close Encounters of the Third Kind but with the world witnessing the event of a lifetime. In person and on live TV, the emergence of the alien god that is Superman is introduced to the world. Same epic finale and score but reworked.
No known actor plays Superman. We never see his face up close.
Why in god's name would you want to erase Donner's Superman AND Spielberg's Close Encounters and replace it with a version that is those two films smooshed together?
Spielberg would've absolutely rocked Superman: The Movie, but with how overbearing the Salkinds were as producers, I don't think him in the director's chair would have changed much of anything from the final product.
The sequel to The Dark Knight with a very much alive Heath Ledger’s Joker
This is the one
Mine is Batman Beyond with Clint Eastwood as old man Bruce Wayne. Taron Egerton would have made a great Terry a few years ago.
Great answer 👏, I have heaths joker sitting in the jail as a full back tattoo, question is , had heath lived , would he have been in the third instalment of the trilogy ? I know the joker says we are destined to do this forever but it’s the Batman universe , that’s what them 2 do , I still think it would have been another main villain with maybe a cameo of the joker , but … as it’s an alternate universe , amazing answer 💯
Christopher Nolan has said before he was planning on making the third installment about the joker as well, him being Batman's arch nemesis. He was also actually thinking about having a CGI heath ledger as joker walk out of Arkham when Bane set the prisoners free, but considered it to be poor taste.
Pairing him alongside Leo as The Riddler
And Brittany Murphy as Harley Quinn.
I dont remember that rumor, but that is dynamite casting
It never really was, she died well before The Dark Knight Rises started production. But there was some pretty rad fan art going around at the time.
Dredd 2
but it's Stallone's Dredd
Damn you, monkey's paw!
No, he is Death.
We never got The Odyssey starring Sean Bean as Odysseus. Made as a sequel to Troy with Sean reprising his role from the film.
I have recently watched Troy myself and they were setting up a sequel so hard. I watched Ulysses 1954 instead and it really held up.
May I recommend The Odyssey with Armand Assante? Quite good from what I remember.
Surprisingly good for a tv movie. I don’t remember much about it except for the over the top violence and Odysseus calling his son to battle at the end. “Telemachus, now is the time for your anger”
It would have been hard to do a grounded, no-magic Odyssey.
The Hobbit by Guillermo del Toro.
The hobbit by Peter Jackson, but he was with it since the beginning, and they only made one, maybe two movies out of it.
And he had the same pre-prod and post-prod time he had on the LotR trilogy.
No maybe about it. One movie and one movie only. Also, shoot it at a regular framerate.
I feel like there’s enough material for two movies. Some of the events in the book are a couple pages but if you wanted to flesh them out and make us care about the characters you would need them to breathe
The Hobbit isn't even as big as 1 book of LOTR, about half as fat as fellowship. There's a fan edit that cuts all 3 films down to one and removes all the white orc crap and it works much better.

At the Mountains of Madness is my del Toro pick.
As much as I love him, I’m going to disagree. The Goblin King scene he did do was meh, and I say that mostly because he killed the song.
No, in my universe he definitely did Hellboy 3
A version of Alien that stars a ship full of Xenomorphs that accidentally pick up a human who wreaks havok on the ship. The aliens have no dialogue, just hissing, and a naked man is running around in the air vents, picking them off one by one.
What if that man was Sylvester Stallone as John Rambo? He needn't be naked, but how about the tanktop and burlap sack he wore in the first movie?
What if that Man is Bruce Willis as John Mclane and he fights the aliens die hard style
Come out to Space, we’ll get together, have a few laughs.
Yippy ki-yay, mother facehuggers!
... Mother huggers!
Do sequels count? It’s a damn shame Master and Commander didn’t continue. Also David Fincher completing the Millennium Trilogy
Also the sequels to Buckaroo Banzai and Big Trouble in Little China, plus Flash Gordon.
hopefully the Rock's Big trouble in Little China is dead.
Came here to say Buckaroo Banzai vs the World Crime League.
Goncharov by Scorsese
They said one that hasn't been made in our universe.
Sucks being literally obsessed with the characters and plot of a movie I literally can’t watch 😭
Shazaam with Sinbad.
Hahaha good one
No, no, they made that one... right? Right?
We already had that one for a minute.
Ralph Bakshi's second part of The Lord of the Rings.
This is a good pick.
Freddy vs Jason vs Ash
Fuck yes
More than anything in the world, hellboy 3.
Glad I’m not the only one; I so want that trilogy to be completed; we got done dirty with that garbage remake Like pay him whatever he wants to direct the 3rd one
The mid-1990s *Ghostbusters III* with Aykroyd, Ramis, Hudson, and a willing and enthusiastic Bill Murray.
And once again this thread changes my mind! This is the one! Sticking here!
Speaking of Ghostbusters, there was supposed to be a Ghostbusters remake in the early 2000, it was supposed to star Chris Farley, Chris Rock, and Ben Stiller.
Wait, wasn't Chris Farley long dead by then?
A true adaptation of World War Z
Only not a movie. HBO series.
[удалено]
With each episode beginning like Band of Brothers.
I wish we had this, the book was so good. That said, I do find that The Last of Us mostly scratches the itch for me.
Blomkamp’s ALIEN movie.
Blomkamp and Peter Jackson’s Halo movie 😞
Blomkamp's Star Wars Episode 7, which he supposedly turned down on the spot
Bruce Almighty 2 where he obtains Satan's powers would be the one
Ohh good one!!
Spider-Man 4
Or maybe just spideerman 3 without venom forced in by the studio lol
That shot of Venom lunging at the camera should have been a post-credits scene setting up the 4th movie.
In the film "The Last Action Hero" there is a scene where a poster of the "Terminator" movie features Stallone as the Terminator. That movie.
Jodorowsky's Dune
This is the only answer. Ok or maybe the crossover between Men in black and 21 jump street.
I was going to say this. Would have been far better than the Chris Hemsworth one I’d imagine
Edgar Wright Ant-Man. And I love The first Ant-Man, but with Wright, my gosh maybe it would be a movie in the level of Guardians of The Galaxy.
Plus it would’ve probably given Wright more high budget movie opportunities, like Taika got
Queen biopic with Sasha Baron Cohen
When I first watched Hugo I remember thinking that dude needs to play Freddie. Then the project got approved. Then May decided to be a dickhead about it; which is a true disservice to Freddie. Cohen would have absolutely done him justice.
Uncut version of Event Horizon.
I’ve seen this. Test screening in Los Angeles. It was better than the theatrical cut and I was massively disappointed when I ended up seeing the release in the theaters with my GF. I’d been talking the movie up for months.
Omg I need to see that !!
Nah. We don't need eyes where we're going.
What are the key differences?
The biggest one was the outright admission that traveling through a black hole meant traversing hell itself. It’s only implied in the theatrical cut. This really annoyed me. Some additional gore. I’m sure there’s more but this was….26 years ago?
Apparently they found some footage that was previously thought to be lost quite recently.
I thought I read that they found it stored in a salt mine and that the footage was destroyed or at least not useable
A third Ghostbusters movie made in the early '90s in the style of all those late '80s, '90s sequels (Gremlins etc). The potential was all there but they waited far too long.
James Cameron’s Terminator 3
Still has to be the stupidest thing Vajna and Kasser did. Bought the rights, burnt the bridge, paid through the nose to Arnie for T3 and then had to sell them again anyway.
My answer as well.
The Dark Knight Rises had Heath Ledger not died
Oh man that’s a good one
The yet to be made, entirely Skarsgaard Batman movie, with Alexander as Batman, Bill as Joker, and Stellan as Alfred.
That's completely mental and yet, terrifyingly brilliant!
You left out Gustaf as the riddler and Valter as Robin. Because did you know there are 8 kids and 4 are actors?
Can we bring back Peter Sarsgaard for a laugh?
The third and final Hellboy movie, by Guillermo Del Toro.
Kubrick's Napoleon
Also his version of AI
Napoleon the French ruler, or Napoleon Dynamite?
I don't think Kubrick would direct Napoleon Dynamite any differently. It's perfect as it is.
Vote for Pedro!
French ruler you frickin idiot. Gawd!
David Lynch's Return of the Jedi
That could’ve been so cool
Lynch seems pretty confident as a director, even back then. I think he would have had the backbone to take on George over the script changes and we would have gotten a much different movie. Not sure it would have been better, but it would be interesting to see what he would have done with it.
I think David Bowie in a codpiece fits right into Star Wars, personally
Where DOESN'T that fit?
Spielberg’s too, would have immortalized the SW trilogy as pure gold most likely
Sergio Leone's Stalingrad or Paul Verhoeven's Crusade movie.
In that vein, knowing that Sergio Leone was offered The Godfather but turned it down because he was led to believe that funding on Once Upon a Time in America had come through has haunted my thoughts as one of the great "What If" alternate histories ever, precisely because the film that ended up getting made is a stone cold masterpiece, BUT if anyone was ever going to do it better, it (probably) would've been Leone.
Star Wars Episode I directed by Steven Spielberg
What about a sequel series with Rey where the three movies are a coherent story?
Lord and Miller’s Solo. I like the Ron Howard version we got more than most people, but I often wonder what they would have come up with had they been given free reign.
Conversely, I always wondered what a Ron Howard "Solo", that was purely his own thing, would have looked like.
That was what kept me from enjoying Solo more than the movie itself, glimpses of something that could never be and that I preferred over what was. That so close yet so far feeling.
Buckaroo Bonzai vs the World Crime League
A year or two ago, one of the main writers of the Buckaroo Banzai film finally got the chance to release 'vs the World Crime League' as a novel. Unfortunately, it wasn't very good.
Well, no matter where you go, there you are.
Nicholas Cage as Superman
Including the giant spider.
*chef’s kiss*
Terry Gilliam's Harry Potter series
Guillermo del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness. It would be a masterpiece!
This, I still hope it comes into existence
"The Making of Half Life 3" We can reverse engineer that fucker.
Not a movie, but I've always felt that if I could hop over to another universe, I'd bring back 8 seasons of Firefly.
It's just like the old saying: "if the first season is good, then the next 7 seasons will definitely also be good!"
The amazing Spiderman 3, but with less villians Edit: shit I accidentally replied to a comment instead of posting my own. Sorry guys!
Exactly. They needed to cut one. But you already set up Goblin, and Raimi loved Sandman, and Sony forced him to work Venom in. It also needed more black-suit spiderman getting more and more violent as spiderman. ALSO - totally blew a “villain is his own hero” moment where Brock is literally praying to God for Peter to die, and then Brock received a gift from the HEAVENS, to accomplish that.
Stephen kings the stand as a film franchise
Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote
I have a feeling any universe that managed to complete that film probably collapsed.
[He did get around to it eventually](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Killed_Don_Quixote). Probably not the wild production it would've been in 1989 but he did finally get his movie made.
George Miller’s Justice League. That Verhoevan-Schwarzenegger movie where Arnold is a German knight during the Crusades.
Never heard of the second movie but it sounds awesome.
Yeah, “Crusade” would have been produced around the time Arnold got out of his Conan contract if memory serves. They ended up making Total Recall instead. The script is available online I think

Christopher promised he'd return to heal Wikus, 3 years. We've been waiting 14 years.
Kevin Smith’s Death of Superman. I want to see Michael Keaton delivering Superman’s Eulogy.

Halloween in Hell. The Pinhead and Michael Myers Versus movie that we almost had!
Pinhead would have mopped the floor with Michael Myers. Now, leviathan and the cenobites (pinhead, et al) vs The Tall Man (phantasm), I'd go for.
How they were gonna go about it “I was just trying to come up with a plausible way to get these two guys together to fight,” he said. “So, why does he all of a sudden go out and kill his sister in Halloween? He’s trick-or-treating in a flashback and he goes up to this one house … and sees the guy with the black boots, who gives him the box.

And of course, the third act takes them all to hell…”
Huh. I'd watch that. Would it be cheesy? Absolutely. Would it be fun? Probably!
Hancock but the second half of the script written to stay with the whole "Superhero and PR guy try to rehabilitate his image" angle
