There are plenty of ideas. The problem is the people running the studios have no interest in the art of filmmaking.

Like every other American economic sector, Hollywood has been taken over by private shareholder proxies demanding studios maximize short term profit formulas literally at the expense of the point of the industry. This means making established IPs over bold, original, innovative aka "risky" scripts.

Thank late stage capitalism for the decline of movies, games, medicine, education, etc. Thank sanctioned insatiable greed as a virtue in the US.
