'Moonfall' Director Blams Superhero And Star Wars Films For Ruining The Film Industry
Los Angeles, February 6 - Hollywood filmmaker, Roland Emmerich joins many other actors and filmmakers who believe that the lack of originality in superhero and Star Wars films is ruining the industry. ## The director, whose latest big-budget science fiction disaster film "Moonfall" opened poorly at the box office, has lambasted the state of the movie business because these types (superhero) of movies exist.## While talking about his newest disaster film, he mentions in a conversation with Den of Geek, "Because naturally, Marvel and DC Comics and Star Wars have pretty much taken over. It's ruining our industry a little bit because nobody does anything original anymore".## Emmerich claims to be all about originality and believes that Christopher Nolan is making bold choices when it comes to filmmaking. "You should make bold new movies, you know? And I think, actually, Christopher Nolan is the master of that. He is someone who can make movies about whatever he wants", he said.## Meanwhile, Emmerich's latest venture, "Moonfall", which was shot in Montreal on a $145 million production budget, opened to poor reviews with 40 percent on Rotten tomatoes while its CinemaScore is also weak C+. At the box office, it opened to nearly $3.5 million on Friday, which is poor for a big-budget film. ## Stay tuned...
