I told my mum the same thing after the trailers in the cinema. But my gripe isn't really that it's not "original"...it's that they are all adaptations xDD

And it ALSO isn't because I think they are lacking creativity... I just fear that they are only doing this because of the MONEY!!

It's easier to make money off of a franchise or series that has tried and proven to have fans willing to dish out their money. A new concept or storyline doesn't have this backing of pre-existing fans.

So even tho... there may be original screenplays and storylines being written and pitched, the studios DON'T want to give out their money to produce them because there's no guarantee that they'd make the money back.

Compared to a X-Men movie. There are already Thousands of fans of X-men, so ticket sales are guaranteed because of the fan base. When trying something new, you have to market it harder and dish out more money to get the audience interested.

So yeh... I'm not sad because ohh it's not original.. I'm sad because it means that studios no longer want to take risks =[
