I agree I meant if there was a problem the studios that produced the films who would want to ignore it could just buy more studios if their film was to be banned. But as you say in the early years their was no one to enforce it.

Well! Now that is what you call an attention-getter. I look forward to seeing this come to fruition!

[Brainbin]

It may have been a quiet week here on the Pop Culture Timelines Go-To Thread, but that silence has now been... silenced!

Doctor Who on a major American network in the 1970s? What could that have possibly been like? Well, there's only one way to find out!

And that would be to head on over to the latest update of That Wacky Redhead!

[ColeMercury]

An Alternate Rise of the Blockbuster is updated once more! It's James Bond time again!

[Brainbin]

Live from AH.Com, it's That Wacky Redhead!

Come take a look for yourself, right over here.

So progress is coming along on The Rise of the Nerd, but Odysseus and I came up with a good idea.

A collab timeline would be too out of control, and neither of us can keep a timeline updated on a frequent enough basis to out pleasing, so we're thinking of having people do runs on the timeline ala comic books. If you're interested in helping out, PM me and we'll work you out. Odysseus and I will do the first run and probably a few more down the line, and we will have editorial authority, but you will get to make decisions on things we don't have plans for.

Coming on September, 5 2012, on a computer near you...

" Beatty couldn't believe his eyes when he learnt Truffaut agreed to direct Bonnie and Clyde..."

"Mike Nichols finally settled on this unknown actor to play Benjamin."

"Leone, willing to further his advance on the American market, considered again the Godfather screenplay."

"What, Terry? Directing a pornographic movie? I made Lolita, but this!..."

"Hell, when I announced to George he had the rights to Flash Gordon, he fainted."

"Steven decided to buy every Superman story he could find in order to better understand the character."

"Scorcese threw all his remaining strengths into the making of Gangs of New York."

"I'm the Green Arrow."

"And so Takei signed to direct Scarface, that would take place in San Francisco's Chinatown."

"And the Academy Award winner for Best Picture is... A Crowded Room, of James Cameron!"

...And any of you could participate in the next adventure of:

Straight Out of Development Hell

An alternate history of cinema 1967-...

Oh, this looks VERY interesting.

Glad to see between you, Zacoftheaxes and Odysseus, we'll have some other pop culture timelines to join Brainbin's now that mine's on... hiatus.

[Nivek]

The people can give me support here...

(that is my POD by the way), mostly legal stuff, the rest will be in my hands...

I want to pay homage to Tony Scott who, with his lifelong pet project of an adaptation of Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire and a live-action The Incredible Hulk movie, provided some what-ifs to the history of cinema.

Ok I'm kind of at a dead end with my pop-culture tl New World Films, where a "shadow" money man creates a global monopoly of movie studios.

I've done research on films stuck in development hell, various directors' projects, etc. There's more to be done, but I am restricted to the internet.

Anyway, I am unsure as how to proceed with the story.

I was thinking a documentary style, with some scripted moments and possible visuals (just got Adobe CS), but it seems stale.

I like this idea a lot and would like to keep it alive and post it.

So, may I please have some help? Also, I can release some more details if you guys want them.

[Brainbin]

Are you still suffering from Olympics Fever?

Well, the only prescription is That Wacky Redhead!

Revisit the Olympics (though perhaps not the Games you might expect) in the latest update, which is available now for your reading pleasure!

[Brainbin]

Historical convergence at its finest: a smash-hit science0fiction movie results in a lavish science-fiction series being green-lit.

You may think you know the show, but you probably couldn't guess the movie!

Find out what it is in the latest installment of That Wacky Redhead!

You know what would be fun?

Having Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood, and Al Pacino in the same movie in the early 1970s.

Why those three actors?

Prominent Hero (James Bond), Anti-Hero (Man With No Name), and Villain (Michael Corleone), respectively.

And they are all amazing actors.

Although if you want the truth, it is because I was thinking about a cast listing if the Dark Tower series by Stephen King were produced as movies in the 1970s. Eastwood is obviously the perfect Roland, and I decided that Pacino could do a good job at Eddy. I was looking for a potential actor for the Man In Black (the villain), and came across Sean Connery.

Well, I quick wiki check tells me the first book in the series wasn't published until 1982, though the first short story came out in 1978. Still, that doesn't leave much time for it to happen.

No, as in an ATL it was written as a movie/TV series and Clint was cast as Roland.

But in retrospect I realize that it did make a few explicit references to Star Wars, so it won't work.

Still, it would be amazing to see those three together in something, when they were in their prime.
