Because Hollywood has been too insulated and closed to outsiders. That being the case, there is resistance to new writers, new talents and new ideas. This can only explain why the movies are formulaic or rehashes or older movies.
Seriously, did we need another "Pink Panther", "Oceans Eleven"?
Someone said it's because of Bush? Actually, really hard times were a time of great creativity. Hollywood was a source of hope and inspiration to a economically and socially depressed people during hard times. This was the case during the Great Depression. Can't blame Bush for the lack of imagination somewhere else. And personally - blaming Bush shows an immense lack of creativity - unless that person was trying to be funny?
