I saw an article where Steven Spielberg says Hollywood needs new ideas, as depending on reboots, remakes, revivals, and sequels could limit creativity. Including franchises, how many believe that?
Though make no mistake, I enjoy franchises as the next person and would like to be part of them and contribute to them, and I also think people just want to see how far a story can go and find different ways to tell a story. I even have some ideas for revivals and sequels.
Maybe Stage 32 could invite Spielberg and others like George Lucas, Tim Burton, Robert Zemeckis, etc. and show them some original ideas.
