for the most part I agree with you, except 'Hollywood' loves having their big name stars. I'm pretty sure the theory is that it's easier to promote an already popular brand. Think like, just about any Marvel movie that comes out will break the Billion dollar mark, simply by being another Marvel movie.

Although, that may just be a relic of the past (the future's past, our present) due to movies' budgets. Once all movies cost the same to make (I'm assuming cheap as dirt) maybe the movie culture will change. No more summer blockbusters, maybe they will adopt a 'spaghetti against the wall' approach.

No stars would be great, too many stars aren't all that great, and having known actors in a role can be distracting. And of course all the back room politics...

I'm hoping it becomes all about the writer, and the writer can be anyone. There will be a lot of shit out there, but hopefully we'll be able to sort through the muck better by then
