[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8852932, member: 6988941"] Hollywood has been a sequel and remake factory for a solid century now, and from its earliest days it wanted to throw money at movies based on already established books and plays. Aside from risk aversion there is a certain jealousy of all those other industries that get to just design a product and sell minor iterations of it year-in-year-out for decades on end, while movie studios need to make a series of high stakes bets every year. Now I would say that production and marketing budgets have gone more towards bankable franchises in recent years, and that Hollywood has embraced the long belated revival-sequel like never before in recent years, but ultimately the money has historically almost always gone to things that were bankable franchises, involved bankable stars, or rode some bankable trend. What we have is a moment when there aren't a lot of stars whom people will go out to the movies to see, and the most prominent bankable trend is itself nostalgic retreads. [/QUOTE]
