The Industry:


The six major studios:
1. Warner Bros
2. Sony Pictures
3. Universal
4. Disney
5. Paramount
6. 20th Century Fox


Are all part of a larger media conglomerates and members of the MPAA (Motion Pictures Association of America) These studios are powerful however not just because they make films but because they dominate the distribution and because they still own libraries of past films.


The concept behind a new film could be developed from many different sources, but to interest studios in the relatively "conservative" atmosphere of Hollywood it will probably need to be supported by evidence of previous success associated with the ingredients of the proposal:
a equal to a recent box office hit and next episodes of "franchises" such as HARRY POTTER.
Or an adaptation of a best selling book e.g. movies based on the Harry Potter series or the Twilight trilogy or Memoirs of a Geisha.
