Since I am sure there are hundreds of Hollywood writers, producers and directors on this forum, I want to take a moment of your time to ask you to do something.

STOP MAKING UNORIGINAL SHIT

Seriously. An occasional sequel is OK. When the original was awesome and you have a bigger story to tell. But all that seems to be made now is reboots and unnecessary sequels. We don't need all this. We don't want it. You guys want to get a return on your investment. I get that. So you keep to "safe" projects. But the safe path led to mediocrity. And that's what most movies have been. Mediocre.

We don't want a new vision of Star Trek or Spider Man. We want NEW movies that replace those as favorites. New characters and new stories. Take a risk. Blaze a new trail. Sometimes you will fail.  Hell, one look at Fant4stic shows that you can fail on your safe bets.

Hollywood has shown that the potential for creativity is there. Rediscover it and show us, your paying customers, that you can do it.

Oscar bait, capeshit and the endless god damn biographicals.

It's no wonder that the transformers films are so popular, if you are going to watch shit then it might as well be entertaining shit.

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
They will continue to reboot and butcher classic movies as long as it brings in the money. They could care less about how we feel. The only way for us to make a statement is to not spend money to see these movies so they can flop.

A boycott?

Did I say boycott you fucking dumbass?

All I said was not was to not go and spend money and see these movies, not go to the theaters with signs that say "FUCK REBOOTS" to protest.

What you have to realize is that there's nothing new under the sun. Coming up with something original isn't easy, and from a marketing perspective, it makes absolutely no sense to spend the time, money, and other resources it would take to fund some new project that they don't know is going to perform well enough at the box office (and break even), when they could just make a movie about something they KNOW will make the studio big money instead. It's all about trends, trends, trends.

Straying from the working formula is risky business, and that alone is enough to put Hollywood off any original story.
