Unveiling Dark Secrets: A Riveting Dive into the Twisted World of American Midnight
Emily Blunt for Alissa?
Something we talk about a lot on this site but is constantly misunderstood, is this idea of finding a new way into an old concept. Here’s what writers typically push back on when this is brought up: Everything under the sun has already been done. You can’t generate new ideas anymore. So, this advice is basically useless.
Take the buddy-cop genre. Every iteration of it has been conceived already. You’ve got the OG buddy-cop movie (Lethal Weapon). You’ve got the buddy-cop movie but with a dog as one of the partners (K-9). You’ve got the sci-fi buddy cop movie (Men In Black). You’ve got the buddy cop movie but with two women (Heat). You’ve got the found footage buddy cop movie (End of Watch). You’ve got the animated animals buddy cop movie (Zootopia).
