Hollywood could build an entire city out of unused scripts. The problem is not a lack of ideas, it's a lack of tolerance for risk. If you could invest $100 of your own money in a movie, where would you put it? Sequels, action flicks, comic book movies, they have a built-in audience. New stories have to compete with known IPs, and awards don't mean financial success.
