There's plenty of creativity in Hollywood, and lots of good ideas. The problem is that with even a low-budget movie costing tens of millions of dollars, the bean counters want to bet on as sure of things as they can find, and that means things that people already know. Go to blcklst.com and read some of the scripts that get voted by industry execs as their favorites. But with rare exceptions, they won't be produced because an accountant hired a consultant to run a focus group and someone there wrote on a card that they didn't understand the idea and wouldn't go see that movie. There's plenty of creativity, but creative people don't make the call of what to make and what not to make. Business people who have to report to boards of directors and shareholders do, and it's easier to defend losing money on Charlie's Angels than it is some idea that no one ever heard of.

I disagree.
