10 Movies we Wish had Been Made but Never Were, so we Went Back in Time to Greenlight Them and we Now Have to Deal With the Consequences of our Thoughtless Misuse of Time Travel


  1. All Three Star Wars Prequels: Don’t you think they should have expanded upon the already rich and lucrative Star Wars properties? We sure did, in an alternate version of the year 2012, which all changed once we went back in time to give George Lucas a heartwarming speech about how the franchise still had legs. Boy, were we wrong.
  2. Ironman: When we found out that Marvel Studios had scrapped their idea of a cinematic adaptation of the iconic mech-suited superhero, we knew there was only one thing to do, go back in time and convince Jon Favreau to reconsider his decision to drop the project. Little did we know that this would in turn spawn a massively successful line of Marvel movies as well as cause a famine in China through the butterfly effect.
  3. Frozen: This one indirectly led a French man to go on a violent crime spree. But it also brought joy and happiness to millions of young girls, so the two sort of even each other out, right? Right?
  4. The Lego Movie: This one started out as a joke, to see if we could manipulate Hollywood to greenlight literally anything. We never guessed that it would turn out to be one of the most ludicrously successful movies of 2014, or that it would inspire a mentally disturbed Cleveland-area construction worker to beat up his boss.
  5. The Life of Pi: In our original timeline, the pitch to adapt this supposedly “unfilmable” book was quickly dismissed by multiple studio executives. That was, until we jumped back to the year 2010 and used our superior knowledge of the future to convince 20th Century Fox that we were gods and that we that they greenlight this movie. Oh yeah, it indirectly caused major power outages in Colarado.
  6. Project Almanac: Pretty ironic, isn’t it?
