I’ve been interested in writing about this subject for a while, so here it is. A common thing in show business is that whenever you set out to market anything such as a film, TV show, or a Broadway production is that you need a known commodity attached to it. Often times, it’s because you need to give the audience a reason to see it, though it’s usually in order to get to overall project financed. As we have sometimes seen in the past, just because you’re product has some exciting names attached to it, doesn’t necessarily mean gold from both a commercial nor creative standpoint.

I never decide what movies to watch based on who’s in them. It’s not the same thing as going to see them in a live performance.

According to Genius.com, Steven Spielberg once said, "Sequels can be very dangerous because they compromise your truth as an artist. I think a sequel to E.T. would do nothing but rob the original of its virginity. People only remember the latest episode, while the pilot tarnishes."
