Film-maker Spike Lee is so horrified by the endless barrage of movie sequels being spewed out by Hollywood studios, he urges producers to start using their imaginations.
The fuming 48-year-old was discreet enough not to point the finger at individuals, but he admits he is also fed up with remakes - recent examples include critically panned The Dukes Of Hazzard and Bewitched.
He sighs: "(I'm) not impressed. I'm not naming any individual films but it's the worst it's ever been.
"It's full of sequels and remakes of TV shows. There's no originality and that has not always been the case. I'm hopeful things will change."
