OverviewEver wonder how cinema history might have changed if the stars didn't quite align for some of the film's most iconic roles? Alternate Reels uniquely explores this idea by reimagining treasured movies with other leading actors from those eras who were in the running. Through meticulous retrospective research and imaginative speculation, the book offers a glimpse into alternate cinematic timelines: How would Gone with the Wind have changed with Bette Davis pursued as Scarlett O'Hara instead of Vivien Leigh? Imagine Sean Connery as Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy instead of passing on the role. What if Tom Selleck didn't miss out on playing Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark due to his TV contract conflict? Picture Al Pacino bringing his trademark intensity to Han Solo in the original Star Wars films. What could Goodfellas have looked like with Joe Pesci originally cast as charismatic mobster Jimmy Conway instead of Ray Liotta? From digging into behind-the-scenes Hollywood intrigue to thoughtful extrapolation on how different leads could have changed the movies' legacies, Alternate Reels takes film lovers on an imaginative journey into parallel cinema history.
