  1. WI: DC Movie Universe in the 2010s (no DC Extended Universe)

    In OTL, the DC Extended Universe began with the Man of Steel film in 2013. Prior to that, there was The Dark Knight Trilogy running from 2008 to 2012. But, the question is, WI, ITTL, the DC film universe began as a new universe in 2011, running concurrent to the then-running Dark Knight...

  3. Save a box office bomb by changing the world instead of the film

    A lot of AHC around box office bombs focus on how changes to the film or its production could have saved it, lets do something different. Instead we will keep the film as it is and change the world around it. Lets start off with an example 1980's Can't Stop the Music. The late 1970/80's...

    Entertainment in a Confederate Victory

    This is seems like a minor idea, but I’m curious about. In a POD where the Confederate States of America won independence around 1862, with international recognition from Britain and France, and war-wariness from Copperheads and Civilians of the North. In the post war borders, the CSA gains...

  7. AHC: Better Matrix sequels

    General consensus is that, while the first Matrix film was good, the other two were... not so good. There's another movie in production, but as of right now, none of us can know if it'll be good. Your challenge is to improve the other two films of the trilogy.

  9. WI: Middle-Earth and Oz in Hollywood.

    OK. So, I've been thinking about fantasy lately and my mind came to The Wizard of OZ. Maybe it's just me, but I kinda feel like the 1939 musical was sort of the opposite of what L. Frank Baum intended with his books. Baums books were and are a lot darker than people seem to give them credit for...

  12. Alternate Cinematic Disasters

    Gargoyles (2005): Hot off the success of Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney’s short-lived attempt to adapt its cartoon offerings for live action proved to be such a box office bomb that led to the studio abandoning such efforts until over a decade later with Frozen (2017). Known as “Disney’s...

    What if The Iron Giant and Osmosis Jones wasn't failed in box office?

    The Iron Giant, is an one of the Warner Bros. Pictures famous animated cartoons, won the best picture award. How can I tell you this, if this film hadn't failed, then released the series in the early 2000s, for single or two seasons. Here is about Osmosis Jones too, for me quite to taste...

  15. (DBWI) Do you guys like Don Bluth's Alexei?

    So, I recently went out on a limb and watched the 1997 animated Don Bluth movie Alexei. I've heard mixed things about it. Some think it's great, some say otherwise; some say it's lack of historical accuracy ruins it, while others say it's its own form of alternate history movie. And we all know...
  16. AHC: "Dances with Deer", a revolution in pre-Christian European Culture cinema

    Some time ago, I remember reading a tentative script about an amateur Hungarian movie taking place around the year 1000 AD (when Hungary was Christianized), but there was still a lot of infighting in the country about who gets to rule it. The screenplay actually had the title "Dances with Deer"...

  18. AHC: Pull a King Ralph

    King Ralph is a movie released in 1991 based on the novel Headlong by Emlyn Williams. On the surface it's a standard 90's fish out of water comedy but definitely falls in the category of alternate history as well. In it Finland is depicted as having a Royal Family and a nation state called...

    An Empire of Dreams: A World where the Magic of Star Wars lived on

    I hate directing. You go to work knowing just how you want a scene to be, but by the end of the day, you’re usually depressed because you didn’t do a good enough job. It’s hard enough just to walk through it, let alone direct the actors, move the equipment. It was easy to let go of directing...
