How long is a piece of string? In the corporate world of Hollywood, exceptionally long. It's what the boys and girls in the boardroom's of these monolithic studios want to bite into next. You know the score, once one franchise is completely sucked and devoid of all it's cinematic license or cinematic juice, then start on a different genre. It's bit like fashion I suppose. It goes around in circles.

Star Wars certainly didn't need a partial re-make of Star Wars. What we should of had was what Lucas wanted all along. A Star Wars film with risk attached. It's reductionist cinema at it's lowest level. Creativity and risk out. Corporate reductionist dross of the lowest common denominator in. And just watch the cash flow role in.

As for Transformers. Michael Bay can go %$-%*£.
