"Premakes" Forrest Gump (1949)

Subscribe to my channel for more premake trailer fun!

What if...

Forrest Gump was directed by Frank Capra instead of Robert Zemeckis?

In an alternate reality version of the year 1949 (not 1994), it actually did happen. Starring Jimmy Stewart, in the lovable title role, Forrest Gump is the story of how a simple man from Greenbow, Alabama changes the course of history and the world around him.

This is a fan trailer made from bits and pieces found all over YouTube. Here's the recipe:

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Harvey, To Kill A Mockingbird, Forrest Gump, Horse Feathers, Its A Wonderful Life, Mountain Road, The Shopworn Angel, The Stratton Story, You Can't Take It With You, Thunder Bay, Top Ten Elusive Runners, Table Tennis Action Classics 1930s-1950s, I Feel Like a Feather in the Breeze, Woodrow Wilson at the Labor Convention, Fancy Curves, The Men, Captains Courageous, The Making of Forrest Gump

Hope you enjoyed it!

Do a premake trailer of The Hangover!!!

Jimmy Stewart would definitely have played Forrest Gump then since he is definitely the equivalent, the lovable Midwestern common man.

Marlon Brando as Dan... fucking brilliant... :-D But yeah, you forgot Bubba.

Before it started, I guessed who would play Forrest Gump. I guessed Andy Griffith. I was wrong.

Before realise this isn't real I thought "WASN'T THE NOVEL WROTE BY THE 80's????"

Wow, only watching this now, under the much more "victorious America" frame of postwar America, do I realize how important the Mr. Smith character is to our national mythology.
