    1. >The Materialists actress made a recent appearance on Hot Ones, where host Sean Evans asked her why she feels “Hollywood is so risk-averse,” having observed the industry “up close and personal.”

      >“I think it’s hard when creative decisions are made by committee and it’s hard when creative decisions are made by people who don’t even really watch movies or know anything about them, and that tends to be what’s occurring a lot,” Johnson admitted.

      >The Fifty Shades of Grey star also pointed out that “when something does well, studios want to keep that going so they remake the same things, but humans don’t want that. They want fresh, they want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things, so I don’t know, I guess it’s all just a bit of a mess right now, isn’t it?”

      Ya, sometimes they even just hire the daughters of famous actors for stuff instead of finding new talent.

      It’s true though. They keep remaking the same crap with new actors and little changes. There are a ridiculous number of books out there waiting for incredible screenplays to be made and so many more screenplays that are rotting on shelves. Fresh eyes, fresh minds, fresh producers. Let’s go Hollywood get your crap together.

      Everyone wants to just pump and dump these days. Nobody wants to take time and make new, worth while films.

      Start digging through film history and you learn that Hollywood goes through cycles of remakes and sequels. For example, A Star Is Born has been made four times. There are 34 versions of some variation of Romeo and Juliet according to Google. We’re in one of these periods and it will take some risk taking studios and creators to get us out. New Line Cinema bet the farm on LOTR and on Peter Jackson whose last film prior to this was The Frighteners. That series was a game changer at the time and so was Sam Raimi’s first two Spider-Man movies. The fantasy and comic book movie genres was not very popular at the time. The Matrix series also breathed life into Sci-fi with completely original stories. I think that audience burnout will bring us some paradigm shifting tent pole films and we’ll get out of this funk. Indie films will continue to be a source of newer ideas, but big spectacles tend to make Hollywood switch things up.

    6. Over and over and over again.
      And the industry wonders why movie ticket sales are down overall

      I’m sorry but I absolutely adore her continuing obvious nothing takes. I don’t know why but I die laughing every time she gives an opinion on Hollywood. 

    8. She’s right. But I think the obsession with remakes is symptom of a different problem. Late stage capitalism honestly, cause everything is now boiled down to what formula generates the most capital with lowest risk. All the stuff is remakes and formulaic, and all the casting is done by social media presence or people with access to capital or connections (nepotism). Issa Rae was right when she said talent has to start making their own media or those stories won’t be made.

      I’d watch “Fifty Shades: Vanta Black” if Dakota Johnson reprised her role.

      Hollywood is a mess because it keeps giving work to talentless people like Dakota Johnson.

    11. Couldn’t agree more. Took my teenage out to the movies a few weeks ago and practically all of the previews were for movies from the early 2000’s

      Yeah!! How about actors that come out of other non famous dicks!!! Just a thought

      They might as well just start putting the children of other wealthy actors in movies.
