Coming up with an idea....

Probably one of the hardest thing to do is come up with a story. The creation of something that is unique and original that does not take from anything else. This is difficult because Hollywood has done everything. Every idea has been made enough that we have entered the time of remakes/reboots/rehash or taking from something existing like TV/Concerts/Video/Board games. Sometimes Hollywood gets it right the second time (Oceans 11) yet most of the time its a failure (Clash of the Titans) leaving us, the movie goer, in dismay and out $15. Its a good thing that film students across the nation are taking screen writing classes to create their own ideas and hopefully re-energize story telling.
