Ok, now I love sci-fi and fantasy books, movies, tv shows, etc...if it has swords, magic, Dragons, spaceships, aliens, or anything else from these two genres, I'm pretty much on board to at least check it out. So of course I troll through the various blogs, news sites, and zines, looking to see what the new latest and greatest is going to be. There is a very obvious trend, which has been the case for the last few years, towards remaking old ideas, or revamping old series and coming out with squeals.
Now, I have no problems with that, trust me! Some of the older ideas were really awesome. But when I think back over the last year or so, and look at what's in the works right now, well..... GI Joe movie, Indiana Jones 4(and apparently 5 is on the drawing board), a new Tron movie(waayyy over due if you ask me!), Transformers, a new take Star Trek movie(great by the way)....the list goes on.... and now I see they are 'rebooting' Highlander, the V tv series, and today I see 'Predator Reboot'. *blink* *double take* Like I said, no issues with remakes and such here, but...where are the new ideas to go along with these? Where are the next group of fresh ideas, new characters etc? Have these genres become nothing but repeat, redo, reboot, remake material? Is there no new, fresh, young talent that has their own ideas?
Just my thoughts, take them or leave them as you like. :)
Until next time,
Robert
