They ran out of ideas years ago. I would say that they are taking a nap.
I just double checked.. It wasn’t a nap. Hollywood has passed away.
they ran out of good ideas at least 100 years ago, or last thursday. the last good movie was postal
Not at all. Disney is just about to release a brand new animated version of A Christmas Carol!
Oh yeah. It seems like they’re reviving old stuff like Macgyver and Star trek. And I guess nothing else made by marvel is interesting / hasn’t been done before. Oh who wants to bet the next big thing will be video games. Any takers on MW2 or WoW? And apparently theres going to be a Facebook movie.
I am full of ideas, just wait til I get to Hollywood!
No. There are plenty of good original movies still being made even though it seems as though everything is a remake. Hollywood is a business and they know the power of branding, brand loyalty etc… They’re raking the money in on remakes and benefiting from a lower risk venture. Some remakes are good, some suck, life goes on.
In the entertainment field, there is no such thing as a “new” idea. If you were to study the Greek plays and other historical entertainment, you would find the very same ideas in the ancient times that you find in modern films.
I think there are some new ideas coming. I’ve heard a little talk about Avatar and it’s supposed to be unlike anything we’ve seen. Also “9” looks different than a typical Hollywood movie.
It’s the economical climate. It’s safer to finance a remake, sequel or to place a book on the big screen than it is to risk new ideas.
