Actor Dakota Johnson has delivered an unusually blunt assessment of Hollywood’s current creative climate, saying the industry has become risk-averse and overly dependent on remakes. Appearing on the YouTube interview series “Hot Ones” while promoting A24’s forthcoming romantic drama “Materialists,” Johnson said many decisions are now made "by people who don’t even really watch movies, or know anything about them," and blamed recent box-office failures on executives who "don’t have a creative bone in their body." Johnson added that when a film succeeds, studios "want to keep remaking the same things," a strategy she said has left Hollywood "a bit of a mess." Her remarks echo a wider debate over whether the industry’s focus on established franchises is crowding out original storytelling.
