If they made a new non-BtVS movie about a girl who fights monsters, they'd have to make it a legitimately good movie in order to attract people to the theatre. Somehow, I don't see them going for that when it's so much easier to make drek and slap a name on it that you know will make it a hit no matter how bad it is.

You can make a crappy CGI movie about giant robots destroying a city, or a crappy CGI movie about giant robots destroying a city that are loosely-based on a popular cartoon and toy line from the 80's, and the latter will always make a crapload more money.*
* Unless that movie happens to be about the GoBots.

I have a couple of GREAT, I MEAN, FUCKING AWESOME ideas:
Idea 1
It's called Space Combat. It's the story of this girl who is really the long lost cousin of the bad guy. She finds these robots who are clearly not gay and discovers that they belong to another girl (her sister.) The girl hooks up with a bunch of renegades including this guy named Olos Nah and his bald ape buddy, Mastication to rescue her sister. Afterwards they go and attack this HUGE moon size ship called the Doom Planet and blow it up.
Idea 2
Robots come to earth and kick the shit out of the earth's militaries and fight other robots. But they look like Teddy Bears and they transform and do shit like shoot fireballs out of the eyes.
They befriend this whiney rat faced kid, but the kid dies in the end (ass cancer or something.)
I call it BeanieFormers.
Can someone please Bayhem. I would like 50 Gajillion dollars for my "original" ideas.

Theres a guy going around oblivious to a world controlled only by machines, that look like giant willys. He's called Rio and he meets a man called Morphmybutt who has a rag tag set of renegades onboard a ship called the Neberaxytrildesccvj...!! They get Rio to come into the 'Real' world by offering him 2 pieces of Kentucky chicken, one red, one blue. After that it all goes tits up. People die, some dudes make out...a lot. Rio finds out hes the gifted one. They vist the Colonel to find out why his chicken was crap. And what the hell was going on. He makes them fall to sleep with to much chicken babble. Machine willys and stuff attack, they die....oh no they dont. Rio saves the day.
