Aquamarine (2006 Film)
Aquamarine
Released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution as a Disney/Fox dual-branded film on June 16, 2006.
Produced in association with Legendary Multimedia
Cast and Crew
Same as OTL
Notes
For those who may not remember the OTL film, Aquamarine is not a direct remake of the 1989 version of The Little Mermaid, but rather based on Alice Hoffman's eponymous book. ITTL, the only connection between this film and TLM is Aquamarine watching the Part of Your World sequence on a drive-in screen that is conveniently next door to the municipal pool where she swims.
In case you're wondering, Eight Below was still released by Disney ITTL, but still no changes from OTL.
Ok. I tried to put my League of Extraordinary Gentlemen concept more in line to the American Magic format rather than my own format. Naturally feel free to change anything you want from casting to the Notes. This series is heavy on Cameos, in comic form there's usually several in every panel. I decided not to dive too much into those but yes usually a crowd shot will be filled with fictional characters from many different works.
Cast and Crew
Richard Chamberlain as Allan Quatermain
Monica Belluci as Mina Murray nee Harker
Jason Flemyng as Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde
Christopher Eccleston as Hawley Griffin/the Invisible Man
Naseeruddin Shah as Captain Nemo
Jack Aranson as Ishmael
Steve Forrest as C. Auguste Dupin
????? as Campion Bond, Grandfather of James Bond
Tony Leung Chiu-Wai as Fu Manchu/The Devil Doctor
Richard Roxburgh as Professor James Moriarty
Nicholas Rowe as Sherlock Holmes
John Sessions As Mycroft Holmes
Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger
Notes
-Much of the cast are reprising the same roles from earlier productions of the original source material the characters appeared in, making those films retroactive prequels.
-Sean Connery declined to the role of Allan Quatermain as he was considering retiring and had no desire to star in a franchise. He would later cameo as an elderly James Bond in the later sequels(assume they are made ITTL. The comics embrace the James Bond is a Codename theory and have an elderly Bond become the new M backed by every single Bond actor following him as his entourage). The role of Allan instead went to Richard Chamberlain, who played the role in 1986’s Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold. He was fittingly playing an older Allan decades removed from the young man he was in his adventures.
-Monica Belluci was considered for the role of Mina in the OTL film. However in the comics and possibly the film ITTL, she is not a vampire and is the most normal but seems to be unafraid of even the monsters on the team, implied to having met something far scarier in Dracula. In the Comic, Mina is divorced though whether this carries over is a matter of preference. the Actress who played Mina in the Hugo Weaving Dracula could reprise her role here.
-Mr.Hyde is largely practical effects but more comic accurate, closer in appearance to the transformed henchman seen at the end of the OTL Film. A throwaway line implies that Hyde has been growing a bit every time Jekyll transforms into him.
-The Nautilus submarine has a Comic Accurate design of a Squid attacking a whale
-Jack Aranson OTL did a one man play version of Moby Dick considered the best version and played the role as late as 2003, however he died in 2008 OTL, meaning he’d either be recast or his role in installments in a potential franchise after that point rewritten.
-C.Auguste Dupin from Murders in the Rue Morgue has a brief appearance helping Mina and Allan capture another monster murdering in the Rue Morgue, which turns out to be Mr.Hyde
-The scene of the League catching the Invisible Man at a girl’s boarding school is toned down from the Comics where he had impregnated several and was raping one when caught and was thought to be a “Holy Spirit.” Here he was only believe dot be a ghost but did lift up a girl named Pollyanna into the air before he was stopped by the League.
-The League’s fist mission is to obtain a sample of a gravity negating element called Cavorite from the villain Fu Manchu. The film heavily toned down the heavy racism(done in parody) of the comic and portrayed Fu Manchu as a respectful but intimidating villain.
-The group is betrayed by the mysterious M they’ve been working for, revealed to be Professor James Moriarty, who plans to use the Cavorite to power a warship and devastate London. The League then thwart his plan by releasing the Cavorite, which Moriarty grabs. He is taken into the air. When Moriarty is revealed, a flashback scene is shown to the events of The Final Problem in which Holmes hurls Moriarty off a cliff during their battle and then fakes his death, showing how Moriarty survived. Upon his defeat he is replaced with Mycroft Holmes.
-An old Artful Dodger makes a cameo helping to get everyone underground safely during Moriarty’s bombing of London. This is the last time Jack Wild would play the role or any other as he died later that year.
-I wanted to wait to talk possible sequels, but I'll just throw it out there that my original idea was Stephen Spielberg directing since the second volume of the comic has the League battle the Martians from War of the Worlds, replacing Spielberg's film adaptation of that work OTL, which is unlikely to happen here. However the film and comic both tease the sequel the same way. A Newspaper mentioning "Scientists say Eruptions seen on Mars are just Volcanoes." which is a headline from War of the Worlds and those eruptions are actually the Martians launching their ships to invade Earth.
-A Short film adapting the Volume one companion story “Allan and the Sundered Veil was released on the DVD. It is a prequel to the film. The other cast include
???? as Lady Ragnall
???? as Marisa
Taylor Kitsch as John Carter
Bryan Moore as Randolph Carter
Guy Pierce as the Time Traveller
-The plot centers of Allan Quatermain meeting his old friend Lady Ragnall and her servant Marisa in Africa. He wishes to relive his glory days despite his old age and takes a drug called tanuki that is said to allow you to experience a past life. He takes it and finds himself in a strange land with a confederate soldier named John Carter and his grandson Randolph, both on adventures when they arrived there. They are attacked by monsters but rescued by a mysterious man calling himself the Time Traveller. The Traveller explains that there is a rift in time and space that creatures are pouring out of. They go to the time traveller’s base in the distant future and are attacked by descendants of humanity called Morlocks but escape. The Carters both fall as the Time Machine is traveling and disappear(presumably back to their own stories) and Allan Quatermain is possessed by a creature which forces the Time traveller to kick him off. He returns to his own time possessed and kills Lady Ragnall, forcing Marisa to flee. Allan awakens to find the mansion burning. The story ends right at the moment when Mina arrives to recruit him.
-The Morlocks in this story have a design calling back to the classic 1960 film adaptation of the time Machine.

The LXG movie was not the first film to be released under the new Luxor Pictures name, formerly known as Hollywood Pictures.

At the moment, the animation and jingle are the same as OTL (LINK). As part of Bally's rebranding of Hollywood Pictures under the Luxor name, drawn from the Egyptian themed hotel/casino on the Las Vegas strip, a new logo is in the works in tandem with Industrial Light and Magic.

-In hindsight there's no specific reason to cast Eccleston as the Invisible Man except he plays a tribute to the character in the TV Show Heroes so Tony Curran, another Scottish actor could still have it but that's personal preference.
-Two Michael Caine "played" characters appear in the comic and therefore could appear in potential sequels though likely played by actors resembling a young Michael Caine, deaging or recasting. The first is the M in the 50's and 60's and antagonist Bob Cherry, also known as Harry Lime(an intentional alias that is a pun on naming himself after another fruit. Bob Cherry is his birth name as he is a child from the Greyfriars school series of books that grows up to be Harry Lime, played by Orson welles in "The Third Man". While he's drawn to look like Michael Caine another actor, maybe with a Welles resemblance could play him such as Christian Mckay. The Second is Jack Carter from Get Carter, who in one portion is hired to solve a murder that is part of the plot. My version rewrote it to James Bond as I combined two League stories together, both pretty short on their own. In the first story a young Bond was after the League anyway.
-A Sphinx appears in the Comic and the HG Wells the Time Machine and the Time Traveller is using it as a base of operations, which means with Luxor Pictures releasing the film. It is actually possible to incorporate the logo into the story somewhat organically.

ITTL, the only connection between this film and TLM is Aquamarine watching the Part of Your World sequence on a drive-in screen that is conveniently next door to the municipal pool where she swims.
The best case scenario here would be to remake The Little Mermaid 3-5 years after this movie comes out, since it would be both far and near enough to not confuse the two films.
1: Good for him!
2: Quite honestly, it would be about time for that rebrand to take place, and I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.
3: Yeah, that tracks. Also, alliteration win.
4: Score!
5: Good for them!
6: That's on par with Namco owning the Denver Broncos, or somewhere close to that, as far as sports team purchases are concerned.
You're welcome. But I will say that you won't be misjudged coming from me by confusing the two ideals, for what it's all worth.
Great!
May he succeed in the best and most awesome way possible.
Well, it was about time, but I will miss the Grantray-Lawrence branding.
Well, she has a perfectly good reason tho.
Great.
What Theme Music did they use for SBC's Wednesday Night Hockey after they've dropped by "Manhattan Skyline" by David Shire in 1985?
Starting with the 1987-88 season, they used John Bahler's Powerhouse. This also served as SBC's theme for its first stint with the AFC from 1987 thru '89. Since this was technically library music not owned by SBC, this cue still lives on as background music for Sunday highlights on ABC's Monday Night Countdown. ESPN had discontinued NFL Primetime on Sunday nights after the 1996 season because its ratings were sinking below Fox's pregame show.
@stratonapba
For the 1985-86 thru 1986-87 seasons and from 1995-96 thru 2000-01, SBC used Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part 2.
For the 1985-86 thru 1986-87 seasons and from 1995-96 thru 2000-01, SBC used Gary Glitter's Rock and Roll Part 2.
@OldNavy1988: And what happened to "Out Front" by Rick Baker and the Firstcom Symphony Orchestra did ABC used it for the Fastest 3 Minutes at Halftime on Monday Night Football?
Yes, that is indeed the Fastest Three Minutes theme, and has been continuously since 1992.
