Storyline (Suggested by @Marco Incognito)​

The film is set on the planet of Ryushi, which has recently been colonized. Unknown to the human inhabitants, the Predators or Yautja tribe use the planet as a hunting ground and introduce the Xenomorph species there, likewise not aware humans are not present. The protagonist is Linn Kurosawa, the Weyland Yutani administrator there who is shown to be far friendlier and laid back to the workers than they expected. The people on Ryushi raise cattle to export to other solar systems. Cattle which are soon infected by Xenomorph eggs as the Yautja brought a Queen to the planet. An encounter with a humans leads to one Yautja being killed and the other Yautja vowing revenge, despite the protests of the older and wiser member of the party, an experienced hunter nicknamed "Broken Tusk". By the way all of the scenes involving the Predators are conveyed without dialogue. "Broken Tusk" teams up with the humans to protect them, teaming up with Linn to survive the fighting and kill the Queen and rogue Predators. In the end, the settlement is dead as is the Queen and all the Xenomorphs. Broken Tusk lies dying and uses a broken Xenomorph finger to leave a mark on Linn so that the Predators will identify here. Some time later, Linn, living alone on the planet with the head of the Queen tied to the front of her house is approached by a group of Predators, who recognize Broken Tusk's Clan symbol and bring her with them into the hunt.​

Quentin Tarantino's Star Trek project?

That's coming, but it'll likely be the characters from TOS, except with new actors.

Looks cool.

Or you can de age the og actors that are still with us with like motion capture technology

 

[Roger Redux]

Something that I still kinda want to see IRL that I think Tarantino's style would work really well with is an adaptation of Peter David's "Star Trek: New Frontier" novels.
So if those still exist ITTL, that's an idea.

1: I feel mixed about this, but I don't know why.
2: An understandably reasonable decision.
3: Oh, boy. I just hope we get a new wrestling league with all these ex-wrestlers.
4: That should go without saying, but I just hope we don't get a repeat of Eisner, Iger, and Chapek in that order at The Jim Henson Company.

Thanks for using my idea. I can't help you with the sequel though.

 

[QTXAdsy]

Bit of a random question here but given how Freddie Starr has ended up having a successful career in voice acting ITTL, is he still on the comedy stand up circuit and if so has ended up performing live in the States?

Could imagine that much like how Billy Connolly got his big break in American by staring in a HBO special, wonder if Starr had a similar thing here?

 

[Tmckay]

Does Steve Coogan think of Doctor Who?

He might

Can we have a conversation between Daniel Abbott and James Roberts about appearing in The Simpsons

Can we have a conversation between Daniel Abbott and James Roberts about appearing in The Simpsons

Yes. Most likely the first season will start with a Treehouse of Horror that should air early in October before Fox begins MLB playoff coverage.

Here's picture to use

 

[OldNavy1988]

Planet of the Apes
Released by 20th Century-Fox on July 27, 2001

A remake loosely based on the original 1968 film.

Directed by
Jan De Bont

Produced by Richard D. Zanuck, who greenlit the original Apes when he briefly took over for his father at Fox.

Notes
ITTL, because of Mark Wahlberg's involvement with RKO's Godzilla, the role of Leo Davidson is instead played by Matt Damon. The rest of the cast and crew are the same as OTL.​

What was the reception like? And did it still have the twist ending attached with some context to explain it?

The movie still had the ending with Thade in place of Lincoln, but that was still left to the imagination of the viewer.

Oh well. I would have thrown in a few shots of Thade in the time stream, at least as insurance in case a sequel won't be greenlit. But this ain't my timeline, so I ain't got no right to interfere.
