After SuperHeroes , What Do You Think Will be the Next Big Thing in The Movies?
- Thread starter BAYLOR
- Start date
I have no idea what the next big thing in movies is going to be, but I am very sure of what it is not going to be.
It is not going to be about ordinary people who struggle hard to make a living day by day, who grab a few minutes of joy as they visit their parents, and who show respect to those who are different than them.
It is not going to be about a woman or a man who goes to work every day, so that s/he can feed his/her family and counts it a pleasure to worship with other believers on Sunday.
It is not going to be about a grandmother who sacrifices much personal time so that she can take care of her grandkids when their mother needs a break.
In short the next "big" thing is not going to be a real thing, it is going to be some other "unreal" thing, much like super powers and the people who wield them in titanic struggles.

Those plots tend to be how the movie starts, unless it's a...
Lifetime movie- the husband/boyfriend starts beating the main female character
Scify movie- the main grandmother has to save her grandkids by fighting off a twister full of alligators/sharks/chainsaws
Werner Herzog movie- the main female character flashes back to when she was an adventurer/cripple
Michael Bay movie- the main female character's chest is 4 sizes too big to be natural and she fights robots who are attacking her church
Spike Lee movie- the main character keeps saying racial slurs until something makes him change his mind or he/she gets shot
Quentin Tarantino movie- the main characters are talkative and friendly but they feed their family by killing tons of people, or maybe they have a torture chamber underneath their house. And they swear too much
Ridley Scott movie- the ordinary people were all veterans of some grisly alien vs human war.
Steven Spielberg movie- the grandmother has death camp tattoos, and the kids are off doing god knows what with some non-human ally/friend.
George Lucas movie- the church is attacked by Nazi expys and there are lightsabres or macguffins in the podium/relequiry/holy water
Martin Scorsese movie- the working man is a mafiosi or corrupt businessman.
Uwe Boll movie- The grandmother is a bitter asshole so the grandkids leave and fight robot hookers or something. It was supposed to be based off of Katamari Damancy but something happened in pre-production.

How about historical superhero dramas then?
~loads shotgun~
So you are of the belief that the next trend in Hollywood will be Historical Superhero Hunting Dramas? Ok.

If they do that film I want Anthony Hopkins in the lead role.
