[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [QB] The reason why we get all these retreads is that Hollywood is not going to take the time or gamble money on something that could be a risk. Taking the familiar and tweaking it has an automatic built in audience. People are familiar with the story/characters/backgrounds and it then allows for a bunch of "Oooh-ahhhs" from SFX to make it a "Blockbuster". If you have something that is totally different, the returns are nowhere near as immediate. The audience has to grow through word of mouth and much more hype. A following has to grow. Then there is always the chance that it does not become the next Star Wars or Terminator. That is NOT instant monetary gratification that the Ho'-wood leeches demand. Hence we get retreads of the familiar or movies based off of fond memories of childhood toys/heroes. The trouble is, that Familiarity breeds contempt. [/QB][/QUOTE]
