Paul Thomas Anderson pushes back on the idea that the industry no longer greenlights original projects, naming his favorites from 2025 as examples: 'Weapons', 'Bugonia', 'Marty Supreme', etc. (www.fortressofsolitude.co.za)

I'd call that 2/3. Bugonia is a remake of the Korean "Save the Green Planet", so he's wrong about that being original. "Weapons" is indeed an original film; the director being hired top make yet another Resident Evil film doesn't detract from that. "Marty Supreme" may be a biopic, but it's still an original film, rather than a remake of an earlier film. That does mean that it's an original project.
