I was looking at the website Dark Horizons to see what movies are coming out and I noticed a Movie called "White House Down", which is a movie about a take over of the white house, which is the same thing as "Olympus has fallen". Now is it just me, but why is it that when one movie about a subject is released another movie about the same thing is release a few months later. Think about it, two movies about Mars, "The Red Planet" and "Mission to Mars" in 2000, "Deep Impact" and "Amagardon" in 1998, "Independence day" and "Mars Attacks" in 1996, and so on. It just seems like when one person has a good idea, other leaches in Hollywood jump on the band wagon, You can't tell me these examples are just coincidences.
nah it's been going on since time immemorial. When Star Wars came out, a whole slew of copycat space movies came out, Battlestar Galactica, Battle Beyond the Stars, they even revived the Star Trek TV show and made a movie of it, even the James Bond producers postponed For Your Eyes Only so they could make Moonraker instead.
No, Hollywood doesn't have any original ideas. No one does. The last storyteller to come up with an original idea probably died about 5,000 before Homer started writing The Odyssey.
Furthermore, just because an idea might be original, that doesn't necessarily mean it's any good. A jellybean bacon burrito would certainly be original. But it would also be vile.
The question you should be asking: Why isn't Hollywood making any good movies?
The answer is: They are. Great movies come out every year. The problem is that for every good to great movie that comes out, twenty horrible movies come out. But that's true of any medium, be it movies, TV shows, comic books, novels, or music. 90+% of everything is crap.
