Movies From An Alternate Universe. Pixar's Up, filmed in 1965 by Walt Disney. Alternative movie posters of all kinds. Premakes previously.

Spoiler Alert: The following trailer is fake, independent, and not for profit. It is not endorsed or connected to Walt Disney Pictures or Pixar. It was meants as a purely technical and parodic exercise, and as a reflexive deconstruction of elements in modern cinema.

The alternate universe is a lot less "alternate" than this, but you might want to check out Tim Pratt's short story Impossible Dreams if "what if" movie ideas appeal to you.

When the tyrannosaur ran amok in San Diego in Lost World: Jurassic Park, there was, for a second, a shot of a poster of Arnold Schwarzenegger in King Lear in a Blockbuster window.

In my favourite alternate universe, Spielberg dies early and Kubrick finishes A.I. himself. (also, New France wins the French and Indian War and colonizes North America, resulting in continent-wide poutine.)

Having The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day directed by William Friedkin and John Frankenheimer respectively was a nice touch.

Godard's Trainspotting would be one of the greatest films ever made. The mind boggles. Tony Hopkins and Terence Stamp trading off Connery accents, for starters. Ian Holm in incandescent rage. This needs to happen. This can still happen.

I would probably buy a poster of Fritz Lang's 2001.

The weird fairy-tale ending was all Kubrick. The ending of A.I. was Kubrick's, but it was executed by Spielberg. If Spielberg had directed 2001, the ending would have had Dave Bowman weeping as he aged, with flashbacks of his life interspersed. All the while John Williams' strings play the Bowman theme for the umpteenth time, ending with a super realistic-looking baby wearing a diaper looking up at the camera with the classic Spielberg face of awe as the violins crescendo up the scale to a sudden stop and blackout.

Triumph of the Will a Walt DIsney production Already happened in The Lion King, during "Be Prepared." Unless that was already the joke.

That Hangover poster has gotten it wrong -- Tom Cruise isn't old enough to be in a retconned version of that film with Martin, Lewis and Jack Lemmon. Most of those Martin & Lewis duet movies were made in the middle '50's, so the baby would have to be someone who was older (e.g. Ron Howard, b. 1954), rather than Tom Cruise (b. 1962). (For that matter, it's probably also incorrect for Ursula Andress to be there as well.)

The same movie announced Steven Seagal as Best Actor candidate for "A Snowball's Chance".
