The Tommy, I mean The Mummy, is an exhaustive mistake.

It seems that Hollywood is unable to just make a movie. Everything must be part of something bigger. Something grander. It must be part of a ginormous UNIVERSE that has only one objective: money. Instead of concentrating on the movie that is right in front of them, the studio is too worried about the “universe." Their mind is off thinking about all those future movies they will slap together and hurl onto the screen. It’s all about the future, the now is meaningless.

Revenge of the Remakes, Adaptations, & Long-Gap Sequels, Part 1

Part 1: March - June, 2017
by Hunter Bush

Which do audiences enjoy more, a fresh idea or something familiar? Someone with a head for box office figures could probably make a decent case either way. Regardless, it seems like every time I go see a major release movie, the majority of trailers are for remakes, adaptations or, more and more frequently, ‘Long Gap’ sequels. This past week I saw The LEGO Batman Movie which had seven trailers preceding it. Two were regular sequels (Cars 3 & Despicable Me 3), two were adaptations (Power Rangers & Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets), two were inspired by some outside phenomena (The LEGO Ninjago Movie / toys & The Emoji Movie / emojis), leaving only one as an apparently original idea. That film? The Boss Baby.
