Episode Description from the Publisher

Franchises, remakes, adaptations... Hollywood’s obsessed with intellectual properties -- IP-driven projects based on novels, graphic novels, video games or successful movies. It’s great for established creators but bad news for independent filmmakers.Studios these days won’t invest in projects without proven IP—projects that come with A-list actors, directors, or producers attached to them. But are IP-generated movies what audiences really want?  On this episode of The Wrapbook Podcast, co-hosts Jonathan Sanger and Daniel Brea unpack how the industry’s obsession with intellectual property impacts how independent artists tell stories, and why actors, writers, and producers should think out of the box to mine story ideas from unexpected sources.  Catch the episode on Youtube by >>>CLICKING HERE #IntellectualProperty #IPDriven #Adaptations #BookToFilm #VideoGameMovies #FranchiseFilms #Remakes #StorytellingMatters #CreativeVoices #ThinkOutsideTheBox #OriginalStories #NewVoicesInFilm
