    I’m hoping that the success of the original movies this year will lead to more.

    Also, crazy how people have already forgotten about Sinners. That’s how great this year has been.

      People have not forgotten it, it’s been rereleased into cinemas twice now and it hasn’t even been released for a year yet.

      I went again both times and the room was still packed

    Ummm, isn’t Bugonia a remake of a Korean movie? Definitely not original.

      It only counts as a remake if it’s a white movie. /s

    Meanwhile at Warners: “HBO needs more doctor/lawyer/cop shows. Oh and let’s rehash Harry Potter while we’re at it.”

      And at Disney: “Let’s recycle our cartoon hits into live action. Then make them a musical. Then make them a musical cartoon.”

        Sadly, that rehashed slop makes WAY more money than original films.

      The existence of massive or unoriginal franchises doesn’t mean he’s wrong.

      Saw it in the cinema, it was really good.

      Was fun to see DiCaprio in a slightly different role than he usually plays.

    What’s so funny about this is 1. Bugonia is a remake of a Korean film, 2. the director of Weapons was immediately hired to make yet another Resident Evil movie, and 3. Marty Supreme was based on the life of a real person. He’s 0/3 on his examples.

      I’d call that 2/3. Bugonia is a remake of the Korean “Save the Green Planet”, so he’s wrong about that being original. “Weapons” is indeed an original film; the director being hired top make yet another Resident Evil film doesn’t detract from that. “Marty Supreme” may be a biopic, but it’s still an original film, rather than a remake of an earlier film. That does mean that it’s an original project.

    Spaceballs 2; super original guys.

    Another Naked Gun; ooh! original!

    The Matrix 5; we’re original, i swear!

    “New” Malcolm in the Middle; originality overload!

    “New” King of the Hill; such original.

    48th Aliens reboot; I’m dying from all this originality!

    94th Predator movie; buy one original, get one free!

    That’s just what i can think of off the top of my head right now. I think he might have noticed a trend, or something…

    I gave up on Hollywood years ago. Even the original movies are mostly meh and you have to watch a lot of them to find anything interesting. And the good ones are rarely marketed to you really have to look for them.
