[Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxxxine) has become the land of sequels. It's simply more profitable for studios to bank off of their previous successes than to test-drive an original idea. As such, we, as viewers, are subject to some pretty terrible movies that tend to recycle the same plot. But there are a few classics that even Hollywood hasn't attempted to ruin -- at least, not yet. These include Barbarella, Blade Runner, 1984 and Labyrinth. Gibson explains, "Applied to anything in life, "What If?" is a powerful, festering question." His series applies the "what if" to some of your favorite characters and story lines. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Unmade Sequel Posters:** The popularity of unmade sequel posters hints at the desire for continued storytelling. - **Nostalgia Art Exhibits:** There is an interest in exhibits that evoke nostalgia and the desire for unfulfilled storylines. - **Original Storytelling:** The desire for original ideas in movies has given rise to new and innovative storylines. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry could explore unmade sequel posters by creating spinoff content. - **Art:** The art industry could sell nostalgia art exhibits from iconic movie franchises. - **Advertising:** Advertising agencies can leverage the interest in original storytelling by creating ad campaigns with innovative storylines. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Generated Christmas Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christmas-posters.md) - [Movie-Themed Art NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheeky-kyser.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md) - [Outer-Worldly Alien Film Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-way-of-water.md) - [80s-Based Horror Trilogies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maxxxine.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ideas-jaws-set.md) - [Forgotten Theme-Park Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forgotten-fantasy.md) - [Apocalypse Post Pandemic Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-urban-art.md)
