I agree also. It appears that from the info that comes out around the
edges is that Hollywood thinks that unless there's a big name and a
largely American focus, it will not sell. Very blinkered thinking. But,
the real irony is that the producers, and moguls in the studios who
make the decisions were/are 2nd and 3rd generation Euro-Americans who
forced themselves to assimilate, adopt Americanized names, adopt those
hokey 1930's British/American accents for the stars, etc. to fit in.
Yes, it has become just a tad in-grown.
