calendarlive.com: Original concept? Sorry, we'll pass:
"Civilization has miraculously survived into the 21st century only to expend most of its creative energy reliving the past. Hollywood is hardly the only corner of our culture infected with the remake virus. "
A valid point, but then again is this just a cyclical thing? Since the movies are so expensive to make, investors want to make sure they get some sort of return. The problem is the studio system is dead, the director is king died, the age of the star is dying. The next big thing is what? CGI? Wall Street?
No bankable stars if you want o be short sighted. The implosion of Tom Cruise in the last few weeks is killing the last of the super stars. Hanks, Schwarzenegger, Ford have all put out duds recently. If anything it's the age of Kevin Bacon. He's a good actor and smart as a whip. He's in all the big movies now, but is he bankable?
