Is The U.S. Movie Industry Broken? (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Interview:
http://onpoint.wbur.org/2013/07/01/movie-industry

Big-budget “World War Z” and its waves of zombies are raging with Brad Pitt in theaters right now.  “Fast & Furious 6,” no less, right behind.  A quarter-billion dollar Lone Ranger production gallops in with Johnny Depp this week.
Next week, alien invasion, Earth in peril, in the blockbuster wannabe “Pacific Rim.”  Midsummer 2013, it’s all blockbuster all the time out of Hollywood.  The “tent poles” that hold up the whole biz.  But can they hold?  And what kind of movies, what kind of biz, will we have as Hollywood goes truly global?
This hour, On Point:  World War Hollywood, and the future of film.
- Tom Ashbrook
