Is Hollywood running out of ideas for new movies?

Mekhi Ozuna, Ranger Review Reporter

In the last couple years, Hollywood has been rumored to have run out of ideas for new movies, which is why they are mainly focusing on more movie sequels rather new movies.

Hollywood has not run out of ideas they are simply scared that if they release something different than what people are used to they won’t get as much ticket sales as they might get on a sequel of a movie that everyone loved.

Which is also why xXx: The return of Xander Cage is coming out this year and Fast and Furious 8 is as well coming out because people loved the previous releases in the series meaning that people will buy tickets to go see the new releases.

The question still remains: when will Hollywood come out with something new? Well, Hollywood will release a new type of movie when the people want it. Right now people are happy with the sequels, prequels, and remakes that they are being supplied with so Hollywood’s producers are going to keep on going with it until people demand something new.

Although some sequels that are made are made for a purpose other than that they don’t know what else to do. Some sequels have to close out the series, for example, Vin Diesel confirmed Fast and Furious 8, 9, and 10 early in 2016.

“The purpose for Fast and Furious 8 is to start a trilogy that will end the series after 10 installments,” said Diesel. He also says that the purpose of the trilogy is to honor the memory of Paul Walker.

Hollywood’s movie producers have not run out of ideas and movies that provide proof of that statement are the following: Split, Hidden figures, and A dog’s purpose

In conclusion, it is very unlikely that hollywood will ever run out of ideas, they are just waiting for the people to ask for them to be made into movies. They are going to go with the sequels, prequels, and remakes until the people get tired of seeing the same thing or until a whole new group of directors come into the business with new ideas.
