If that means more originals and less lazy remakes, I'm all for it!
Threes studios control like 75% of the movies now after the paramount deal closes, sony controls another like 7% or something.
It's going to get worse not better, and using reddit for ideas is basically using llm's and organized inerests, be they commercial or fascist or what have you, to generate ideas.
Let's just input it into the AI Slop machine a few times first. Then strip out anything that might hurt us or some share holders reputation or feelings. Shove some ad's and got to go for some good ol patriotism. Don't forget to photoshop the current thing of the month "We" are caring about into it.

The future fucking sucks.
I will gladly take on this honor and burden of the people. I do ask that I'm paid my comically large bag of money up front.
If some weirdo manages to make an adaptation of Mother Horse Eyes I'll be the happiest man on earth
