Translation: Hollywood devoid of new material and imagination...........
Believe me, I know people in the business and there's plenty of creative people with ideas and imagination. The problem is that the business side, which controls the money, is run by bean counters who are inherently adverse to risking tens or hundreds of millions of dollars on something that may not pay off. To put it another way, would you rather spend $500 million on something that already has audience recognition and stands a 90% of recouping investment, or spend it on something that no one has heard of, which you'll have to spend marketing money educating the public about, and which stands a 50% chance of making its money back, if you're lucky?
As Michael Corleone said, "It's strictly business."
