Hey people!
I was reading the other night, and I saw that the coming year(s) treats us to more of the big studio systems doing their own version of 'playing it safe', which means, we can expect fewer and fewer new, fresh, creative ideas in movies, while getting shoveled heaping helpings of stuff that may seem familiar.
In the next coming few years (With "Godzilla" ruling at the box office right now):
Goonies (Sequel)- Timely, right?
Mrs. Doubtfire (Sequel)
Annie (Remake)
The Crow (Reboot) Stephen Norrington
Flight of the Navigator
Godzilla (Sequel already announced)
Legend of Conan (Yes, with Arnie)
Gremlins
Stephen King's IT (Good luck without Curry)
Overboard
Drop Dead Fred
Honey I shrunk the ****
Neverending Story
Cliffhanger
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
Weird Science
Dirty Dancing
The Naked ***
Friday the 13th's Reboot is getting a reboot
Scarface
Escape from New York
Jumanji
The Omen is getting a TV series
The Mummy
National Lampoon's ****** vacation
Tomb Raider
Starship Troopers
Jurassic Park
It's a Wonderful Life
Another planet of the apes movie no one asked for
Ghostbusters 3 (Without Ramis or Murray)
Paranormal Activity 5
Pirates of the Caribbean 5
A movie about Marshmallow peeps
A "****** friendly" version of Toxic Avenger
And LOTS more super hero movies, each costing $150-200 million dollars or more, and sort of, kind of making that money back. See, those budgets don't include the astronomical costs of promoting and advertising those movies. So...
What do you guys think? Is it cool that they just seem to have abandoned (for the most part) putting any money behind new ideas?
