I think it's just hard for them to churn out an idea that hasn't been regurgitated in some way, shape or form already. It ties into the notion that there are no more original ideas, that we as a society have reached our creative ceiling and now only through extreme overtones are we able to pass something off as "new", while in fact it's already been done in some shape before. Name a current movie, and undoubtedly you can find a story that in it's foundation had the same exact theme. Varied circumstances, same movie.
Or so my zookeeper tells me.
