It’s the newest crop of up and coming whatever’s to put their spin or whatever on the franchise.
Because they will be the ones to get it right. Or whatever. There is no original IP anymore. Ever.
I think you misunderstood me, I’ll clarify. Each one of these Winnie the Pooh, holiday, fairytale slasher movies all feel like the product of ShatGPT. I’m tired of em
Daybreakers, Event Horizon. I'm sure there are other's im forgetting.
I dislike this line of criticism because it is so easily used by proponents of copyright.
"See when things go in the public domain no-one uses them to create any new culturally valuable works anyways it just gets abused to make bottom of the barrel slop."
The real problem ofc is that the extreme duration of copyright means that nothing can built upon while it still has any cultural relevance. Old Disney films get made into horror schlock because a distortion of something considered an institution of family friendliness works for that genre. No-one can make an adaption that plays it straight without the result feeling incredibly outdated, not even Disney's own remakes have managed to avoid this.
They are profitable with the incredible market power of Disney behind them. Would you as an independent film maker bet the farm on an adaption of 70 year old disney film? There is a possibility but you'd have to have a premise with a damn good angle on it to have a chance and I don't begrudge the industry for not taking that swing yet.
We can get 7 Dwarves BUT WITH SERIAL KILLER CHARACTERISTICS but we can't even get a prequel about Snow White from Fables smh
