I think the movie industry even more than the television industry is averse to new ideas because risk. "I want to make ONE movie, it's going to tell a complete story in 90 minutes and then be completely done. The script is designed for the medium of film, with a lot of visual storytelling and snappy pacing." Nobody wants to hear that because they don't know how to market it if it isn't "Mainline Franchise: The Next One". TV is maybe more interested because if the first episode doesn't work they can twist it into a new direction. Nobody cares about this run of the mill family sitcom, but the wacky nerdy neighbor character is popular, so ditch a third of the cast, this show titled Family Matters is now the Urkel And Carl Show. You can't do that with one movie.
