Hollywood Has To Come Up With Something Original Someday
The top ten previews on a popular movie website:
1. Pirates of the Caribbean 3
2. Transformers
3. Harry Potter 5
4. Fantastic Four 2
5. Spider-Man 3
6. Rush Hour 3
7. Shrek the Third
8. Iron Man
9. Alien vs. Predator 2
10. The Dark Knight
Anything strike you about it? As a wannabee screenwriter trying to write a spec script, it makes for depressing viewing to see eight out of the top ten preview films are a sequel of some sort. Originality has no place in Hollywood it seems. Even the Iron Man is adapted from a comic book and the Transformers from a cartoon and/or action figures. I can't quite remember. Only the Dark Knight sends chills down my body since we all know Chris Nolan is an absolute genius.
So, I guess it's down to me and my fellow writers at the workshop to shake up Hollywood and inject some much needed originality. Afterall, Hollywood Has To Come Up With Something Original Someday!
