It's like Hollywood can't make anything original these days or something.

Ryan Gosling will reunite with his “Barbie” co-star Margot Robbie on a new “Ocean’s Eleven” for Warner Bros. Pictures.
A reboot of the classic Rat Pack, and later, Clooney-Pitt-Damon starrer from Steven Soderbergh, the new film will be set in the ’60s in Europe under the direction of “Austin Powers” and “Recount” helmer Jay Roach.
Carrie Solomon’s script, seeing as its set years before the last films in the series, is rumored to feature younger characters of kindly crooks seen in the previous films.
Production begins next Spring.

I completely agree. Very few have original ideas, which is why I truly love Chris Nolan.

More like the public at large is obsessed with reliving nostalgia. If reboots and sequels weren't the things making the most money, they wouldn't be making them.

His next movie is a biopic and one of his recent movies is about a WW2 battle

When they make original, legit movies, people don’t go watch them.
I don’t remember Ex Machina, Whiplash, or Green Book breaking the bank at the box office… But that Top Gun reboot, yet another Jurassic Park sequel, and the 30th Marvel movie with a virtually identical plot? Yea, that’s where all the theater money is.
Hollywood is always going to follow the money, and it’s pretty obvious that money is not in originality these days.
For the record, here’s the list of the 10 highest grossing movies of 2021…
1 Spider-Man: No Way Home
2 Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
3 Venom: Let There Be Carnage
4 Black Widow
5 F9: The Fast Saga
6 Eternals
7 No Time to Die
8 A Quiet Place Part II
9 Ghostbusters: Afterlife
The top 8 all made over 150 million, and ghostbusters got over 120. You have to go all the way down to number 10 before you get something that isn’t a sequel/reboot/comic universe film with Free Guy at just over 100. Nothing else reached 9 digits.
Now think about how many of those top 9 money makers are complete and utter dog shite. But still, each of them generated major revenue.
So answer me this… why bother with anything original when audiences have made it crystal clear that originality is not what they want? Until people stop watching shitty rehashes, shitty rehashes are all we are going to get.

But its sorta always been this way.
Dracula

Great Expectations (5 film adaptations)
Robin Hood (5 remakes)
King Kong
Three Musketeers (1921, 1935, 1939, 1948, 1961, 1973, 1993, and 2011)
Batman
A Christmas Carol
Even Brewster's Millions as most know from Richard Pryor was made 7 times (1914, 1921, 1926, 1935, 1945, 1961, and 1985.)

Because the general public is stupid and doesn't really know what it wants. There have been many times throughout the history of cinema where Hollywood was stuck in a rut because they thought they were giving the general audience what it wanted. But then along comes a visionary filmmaker who releases a movie that shows Hollywood that all the audience wants is to be entertained.

You could have stopped right there.

A fun heist/scam movie is always good, unless it's named Oceans 12.

& Dunkirk was about his memories of war as a child. Have you seen any other films?
Memento
The Prestige
Insomnia
Inception
Interstellar
(His take on) The Dark Knight trilogy.
Tenet
…Guess not.

I like Nolan but fwiw Insomnia is a remake.

Christopher Nolan was born in 1970 and (according to wiki) split his childhood between the Chicago suburbs and London.
