MM44 - Is Hollywood Out Of Ideas...
In recent years, Hollywood has almost purely consisted of franchises, remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels and adaptations, causing audiences to question whether Hollywood is out of new and fresh ideas. A main issue would be audiences enjoying and being comfortable with familiarity therefore making them refuse to accept changes. Over the years, the popular genres have had many changes such as the self aware slasher films (Scream Franchise), Superhero films (The Dark Knight Rises, Avengers), an outpour of vampire films (Twilight, Abraham Lincoln, Let Me In, Vampires suck) and fairytales (Snow White and the Huntsman, Hansel and Gretel).
