Hollywood just has no original ideas left.



Ive changed my opinion on this.

They have original ideas, but instead of taking chances on them they shoehorn them into old titles.

They could make an epic new music video cartoon badass film. Instead they'll do this thing.

FOx couldve used Trank to make a badass new superhero franchise, instead they let him make a new movie but just called in FF.

The ideas are there. Hollywood studios refuse to let them grow.

To be honest, I don't think RR is remaking the original Heavy Metal movie. I think he's just adding a new installment to the previous two movies that have been done - Heavy Metal and Heavy Metal 2000.

There's over 250 Heavy Metal comic editions so there is a TON of material to use in a new movie.

I think this has potential

Its the same in music and video games.

So many game sequels and ripoffs of each other, and in music unless you're established or can be one of the 10 videos on mtv these days at any given time, you're not going to be truly pushed.

No one feels safe taking chances on originality. And it's fricking sad. One thing about society that I wish would change is how underground everything "original" seems to have to be. Recently, In the 80s and 90s it was an interesting time because people took chances, and people seemed to seek knowledge.
