How sad is it that there is exactly one fully original story out of the whole bunch.
Which one is that?
And it isn't sad.

The Snow White rewrite? I don't see how that's any more original than the rest.

Prometheus is the most original. There will be a small nod to the Alien franchise but it will only be a hint of one.

For me it's a tie between Avengers and Prometheus.
And while Prometheus is set within the Alien story framework, it's (supposedly) a standalone film that won't actually have any Alien-style aliens in it (aka "xenomorphs")

I don't see how any of those are original stories, although I can't say that I know anything about Prometheus.
The original snow white story had a huntsman. And it's already been done this season, in Once Upon a Time.

I actually had to google total recall -- I couldnt believe they would ever remake the 1990 Arnold film... I mean how are you going to make a better "Total Recall?"

Lyndrek, please use your dev powers to transfer it to the new board.
TIA.
