It's not unusual for executives in Hollywood to continue to search for the next big trend to capitalize on. This is a money-making business, and no amount of artistic integrity can get in the way of cashing in on a potential new avenue to engage audiences. It might sound slightly cynical, but just because something does seem to encourage audiences to part with their cash, that doesn't mean it has to lose its creative foundations. Indeed, one recent trend in Hollywood could be viewed from a commercial angle, but it has equally led to an abundance of powerful storytelling opportunities.
