Being desperate to appear so blasse is even more yawn. I see a lot more original ideas than the reboots and sequels we got lately here.
there are reboots and sequals in the list, and the rest mostly does not look too original either, most sounds pretty familiar, but.... it could just be familiar in that short description.
Never said no reboots and sequels but "lot more". 14 original vs 6 which could in one way or another can be seen as based on something.
Already heard "Operation mincemeat" is very good. "The Bubble", "Everything Everywhere", "Unbearable weight" seem pretty original to me.
But I'm not saying you SHOULD be interested in any of these. I however want see a few of them at least.
