We have reached a sort of event horizon in the world of blockbusters. Starting roughly 40 years ago in the early era ofStar Warsand ‘Amblin’, high-concept movies that rolled adventures into popular genres and then plotted them carefully along SOME of the familiar beats of Joseph Cambell’s story structure took popular culture by storm and defined the massive earning potential of Hollywood in a whole new way.
