The film, Dead Ringers, is based on a true story, of two (male) doctors, from New York city.
It only goes to further the fact that Hollywood's DEAD.
Ok, maybe not 'dead', just yet, but, they're on serious life support.
There's barely ANY film, which are original (and I'm NOT talking about ANYthing based on comic books, or video games).
The studios have done this destruction to themselves - they've gotten to the point that each film 'MUST' cost more. And more, and on,. And on....
Up 'til the 90s, or so, there were films for ADULTS.
There were family films. Comedies. Love stories, and many small quirky films. In fact, I remember when Robert Rodriguez just burst out with his first 'big' film, the major stories talked about how HE FINANCED THE FILM...on his credit cards.
Could you imagine someone tryi g to do that today, ' I see here a charge of 80 million, for costumes, and 95 million for basic budget, and 200 mill...')
You get the picture.
Recycling mold films is just a way of saving money.
It's pointless.
If the studios don't want to continue their accelerating ride to extinction,they best move fast, and think about stopping this idiocy, and making new films, based on NEW material.
