After SuperHeroes , What Do You Think Will be the Next Big Thing in The Movies?

Starwars - the only story where they started in the middle; then told the first; then the end and then started again with the middle!

Honestly if they were to reboot it I'd rather they started right at the beginning with an epic script written in 9 parts for the 9 films as a unified collection. Thus allowing them to setup long plot arcs that might skip many films before returning and achieve some sense of unity between them. Of course 9 films is a massive order; even just keeping the actors at the right ages would be tough!

I think there's been enough fiddling with Star Wars. The original three should be restored to their original cinematic releases and left alone. Instead, they should look for some seriously great new stories to tell. Preferably not involving any of the original characters or themes. It's time to move on from George Lucas and explore new horizons.

I doubt Lucas initially had any plans for sequels or prequels.

People say this but I can remember reading, when Star Wars first came out, Lucas saying he had come up with the three sections of the story and that he had picked the middle one because he liked those characters best.

I also remember this clearly. I guess there could be some question as to how developed they were, (and I suspect that they were altered a lot as both he and the technology changed) but I don't think that there is any doubt that he had a 9 part series in mind.
 
I think that movie-makers will turn more and more to non-superhero comics and graphic novels, like Fables, for instance.
 
As long as they're well scripted, I'll be happy. Please, studios, no more b rated horror flicks.

Not a film but we were quite enjoying Anne with an E recently (Anne of Green Gables). Perhaps a little on the childish side, but more fun than a lot of period dramas and very well acted. Especially the first two of the three seasons. And still in a reasonably traditional style, unlike Bridgerton which is taking a modern twist a bit too far.

More Monsterverse movies? :)

It makes sense there will be alot more of this, not just monsterverse, but movies that allow for multiple additions in the same universe. Especially after the success of Marvel. Hopefully this means adapting fantasy book series. Or maybe even creating something new (that's probably unrealistic tho).
 
Trouble is, it's difficult to put a new spin on a big monster movie and there is only really one story to tell. I think people would get bored with it quite quickly.

After the lockdown, people are going to get into TV in a big way. It wouldn't surprise me if we started seeing some big movies based on TV shows just to entice the audience back to the cinema.

Shang Chi looks like it’ll be a big success. But perhaps we should think about inventing our own superheroes - Spam-Man, The Credible Human, Captain Local, and of course Annoia, the goddess of stuck drawers.

Or the superhero luminary known as The Amazing Sparking Man. :D
