“Is there no one left in Hollyweird with an original thought?”

Sure there are, but the studios no longer want to risk their money on original ideas. They know that with a known brand, even if the movie sucks, they can make money selling it in foreign markets where people just care about explosions, sex appeal, and special effects. They’d rather do that and make money with crap movies than take a risk and actually make good movies.

Indeed.

A made-for-TV movie could be easily found here on FR:

“Freeper needs legal advice - daughter planning to marry muslim she met on the internet”

A lot of behind the scenes activities: terrorist connections, MI-5 working with a FReeper (not the OP), local London clueless private detective, UK immigration, Scotland Yard Special Branch and a few other players. . .but nooooo. . .let’s remake Ghostbusters instead.
