Hollywood wants my money, Hollywood wants me to getd ressed, get in the car, drive to the theater and pay to watch its movies.
Yet, Hollywood does not want to present anything new, anything exciting or fresh. I am at a loss. Is it like the old song 'money for nothing'? Is that what Hollywood wants?
Hollywood has reached peak remake/reboot/franchise/sequel.
My prediction for who will direct the next Ghostbusters: Jar Jar Abrams.
