RESPONSES TO OUR POST -
CAN THE THEATRICAL MOVIE BE RESURRECTED?
Truth be told, these mavericks do not need Hollywood. Hollywood needs them -- but they're going to have to take a chance. Since it all starts w the script Hollywood needs to find fresh global voices -- voices that are outside the bubble. Voices that can bring fresh stories instead of revamped remakes and blockbuster formulas that don't always work.

Theatres in LA aren't posting what films are even playing on their signs or show times--giving up on casual movie goers as an audience. Stand alone art house theatres are virtually gone.

Make new, original movies. Make movies for the world, not America. Make movies that have substance, like anime. Make movies that expose truth. Make movies that show how to create a new system.

I agree most of the interesting storytelling - and storytellers - have moved into TV.
I'm not sure how to resurrect the "theatrical, David Lean" type production. (It's just so expensive to do a wide release now that the project has to be bland and bullet-proof.)
