Any chance a co-op studio could replace or compete with the big studios? I’m sure the biggest hurdle would be raising enough capital but it would be nice to see the actual actors and film crews taking ownership.
To make cgi filled Marvel movies?
No way.
But we don't need that. There's no real reason movies have to cost hundreds of millions of dollars to be entertaining.
Take Clerks for example
5 more marvel films and there will be THIRTY SEVEN?!
I could live without more marvel movies but they’re still going to be made. It would be nice if the people making the films actually owned them.
My point was those movies can be made for much less and be just as entertaining...
And those could be funded by a co-op
I don't even think the Marvel movies are entertaining.
Much like Star Wars I think there's a few good ones and the rest just ride the wave.
United Artists was originally conceived with this concept, but like some credit unions and co-ops it got corrupted over time.
Why don't they create their own co-op studio with blackjack and hookers? Their combined talent should be able to, right?
