I may have used unclear and incomplete wording, but it is directly relevant: whoever delivered a box office last time will be in the cast of the next movie. This is not a form of art, this is a business that involves $$$$$$$, so yes, opportunities are severely limited. Generalisation, I know, but seems legit to me.

My opinion re talented actors stands: I do want to see more of them, not less - just in the pictures that are not stifled by the whatever template brought the cash in the last season.

Went to see a movie recently (Dune is good, or at the very least pretty!), there were trailers before as usual. Out of 6, 4 were sequels, 1 was based on a successful game franchise and the last one was a movie about making a movie with constant breaking of the 4th wall. Or at least it looked like it. That will keep me away for this year, thank you very much.

I believe your main point is about giving opportunities to the new generations. Hard agree here, and lets start in politics first!
