But it's kinda true, Kyo. Hollywood has lost A LOT of creativity.
Look at all the re-makes, comic book adaptions, and sequels to come out this summer alone. There is hardly anything new out now, and it's getting kind of boring.
The Exorsism of Emily Rose looks freakin' scary though, that is one movie keeping my hopes alive.

Oh I don't doubt that it's true~!
Heck I'm a firm believer in the fact that Hollywood is pretty much at the bottom of the barrol for ideas as it is~!
I was just pointing out that some people will lunge at you and try to kill your online persona by crying "Oh you don't know what it's like to be a writer."

Hmm... The guy from my original thread (Click the link inside the thread above.) must've been part of the Screen Actors Guild or something...
The only reason the comic book movies are even being considered to be made is because of their following.
-They're allready famous, or have a "cult" following.
-They're a proven formula for something that is famous or "cool", and thus promise to turn out to be mega sellers. (Big Bucks)
Hollywood is only about turning as much profit as it can instead of trying to take a dive for something new and creative. Investors are too concerned about the bottom line to go for ideas or themes that aren't within a marketers "proven" formula.
Meh... Whatever. That's all I have to say about it. What-ev-er. Some things can and probaly should be remade. However, new fresh things should be tried. I'm not saying that we should see more flesh, nudeity, blood & gore, ect...
I'm saying that we have millions of writers out there. The universe is infinate, and there are ideas that haven't been realized yet. As painful as it is, some of the older shows need to be let go of, so a new generation of heros, villians, and just plain characters can emerge.
The old stories will never fully die. But to try to re-work them into something they're not is a slap in the face to what they once stood for.
