Good luck. You're likely looking at Pixar/Dreamworks/Fox animation and Indie films.

Big budget films are ruled by known properties because, well, they're known properties. It's next to impossible to get $200 million in funding for something unfamiliar to the public.

Guys like Jim Cameron and Chris Nolan can pull it off because they're shelling out at least half of the coin necessary (Inception and Avatar, for example).

Don't get me wrong. I understand why they are doing this. Doesn't mean I have to like it though.

Alot of the serious adult "unique" drama stuff has migrated over to television now IMO. The writing on these serial shows on HBO, Showtime, FX and AMC is sooo much better than most of the stuff in movies.


The big mainstream studios have pretty much abandoned anything that isnt high concept or doesnt have a built in audience. Like Dane said, too much money at stake now.

matter of opinion there. I haven't really liked most of the extended and pay channel shows. Of course, LOST pretty much killed any interest I had in shows that carry on whole season story arcs. The only way I can see any of those shows is to watch them online anyway. I refuse to pay the unreasonable cable fees to get a bunch of channels I don't want or need.

There will be more that follow this model, as there is another generation of kids that haven't seen these movies in a theater before.
Does anyone really want to see it again? See that again? How many 40 yr old Star Wars fans are going to want to take their kids to see "The Phantom Menace" in the theaters?

Enough to earn $102 million at the box office. It's already had its run and those are the US Box Office numbers.

But... what percentage of those customers were happy with the movie? How many of those people would be willing to pay to see it again?

I mean now... not when the hard core fans saw it over and over, trying to find a reason to like it. That ship has sailed, and it's pretty much universally accepted that the movie sucks.

I think the proportion of good movies to shitty movies has stayed about the same the past 30 years.

Plans to release Ep 2 and 3 in 3D this fall have been scrapped. I have no idea if this had anything to do with Abrams?


http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/excl...n-new-trilogy/



I learned of this decision just now from Lucasfilm‘s promotional partners who are telling me the studio now owned by Disney wants to focus only on “rebooting the franchise” with three new Star Wars films. This surprising decision follows the underwhelming box office performance of Episode I: The Phantom Menace re-released in 3D in February 2012.

It debuted to only $23M domestically but maybe even more importantly hardcore fans felt it was yet another craven cash grab by George Lucas. Back in September 2010, Lucasfilm and then-distributor Fox announced that all 6 films in the Star Wars franchise would be converted to 3D. Episode II: Attack Of The Clones (first released on May 16, 2002) was to hit theaters in 3D on September 20th, 2013, while Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith (first released on May 19, 2005) was to play in 3D on October 11, 2013.

This news comes just days after Disney confirmed that J.J. Abrams will direct the new Star Wars: Episode VII scheduled to be released in 2015. It’s the first new Star Wars movie since 2005. Michael Arndt is writing the script. Disney bought Lucasfilm in October 2012 for $4 billion, with the Star Wars franchise obviously the jewel in the crown. At the time, Disney CEO Bob Iger said three more Star Wars films were in the pipeline.
