Hollywood will do anything to avoid actually paying writers to come up with original ideas.
AI didn't work, time to scrape reddit manually for royalty free ideas.
Which will probably also be AI generated content
probably
Heh.
It's the most psychotic method to finding movies. Now that the backrooms has worked, Hollywood execs can put it in their pitch deck for the next reddit inspired movie.
It's the same reason why we've only got superhero movies for two decades, even beyond Marvel. You can only make new IPs if the reason for producing the IP is that it's similar enough to an existing one. Which kind of kills the whole idea of fresh ideas.
God forbid they take a risk on a story they like that isn’t already a best seller
Well, that’s the thing. It’s not like writers don’t have original ideas; i’m certain they have plenty of them. It’s just that the producers are too terrified to take a risk on an original idea (that they have to pay for).
But, apparently, they’re not too afraid to steal original ideas from the Internet. Fucking chickenshit motherfuckers…
Of course, it’s all about the fucking money
Writers in general have original ideas, but Hollywood filters them out. Hollywood selects for boot-licking and ass-kissing. Anyone with thoughts of their own washes out early.
It also doesn't help that >90% of content is crap, no matter the medium. It's a risky investment.
That being said, the way to handle those odds is to make a lot of smaller bets and listen to feedback. Once you average everything out, you can get good returns on investment
To be completely honest I've seen some not terrible ideas in some comment threads on Reddit over the years.
Some of those couldn't be worse than some of the crap Hollywood has been producing.
I don't believe there's a shortage of new ideas in the industry, writers are creative. Producers however are the actual problem: they're the ones refusing to pony up the money to make anything other that dross.
What about AI? Wasn't it the FUTURE of cinema??? Come on! I want more generated garbage on my screens!
SCP movie incoming.
I think that's impossible to monetize due to the licensing rights or something of the SCP wiki
True, but that can be worked out as well.
See things like Control that are blatantly SCP inspired but don’t use the name
And "There is no anti-memetics division", which is just a sanitized version of qntm's original story on the wiki.
What is SCP?
It's a collaborative writing project that, just like the backrooms, originated in 4chan. It's a wiki about a fictional secret government organization (The SCP foundation) that contains anomalies to protect normalcy.
It has become huge over the years. Definitely check it out if you enjoy scifi and/or (Lovecraftian)horror.
Dear hollywood please please please go to /r/badmovieideas
Eww, gross. Run to the artists, not a platform, instead.
If they can find a way to credit the person behind the account, I've read some good stories and comments on reddit. Why would they not be artists? Because of the media they communicated through?
There's plenty on r/HFY that's good. Would love to see something like Chrysalis as a film
FYI, it's a Reddit link. Sorry, but it's a good story
There's still hope for a Darth Binks movie yet!
One Reddit user says “kill yourself.”
Suicide - coming soon
Greentext short film compilation incoming
/r/writingprompts: The Movie
Good luck finding anything new of value in the endless ocean of fake LLM engagement, industrial scale astroturfing and outrage farming. I can see Influencer Reacts To Made Up Stories From r/amITheAsshole: The Movie as the best possible outcome.
Crazy. If they can drum that up from reddit, I can certainly try to revive my energy to contribute a modicum to the communities I started here.
Still waiting on Rome, Sweet Rome.
This sounds like a live-action version of "GATE: and so the JWST Fought"
Tbh I didn't think the movie was that good. I wanted more exploring and a slow drip of horror. Instead they skipped all the parts I would have been interested in. Like Clark exploring and discovering everything instead they just info dumped it all in the kitchen table scene.
