Abstract

The article examines why filmmakers often typecast real estate developers as villains in their films. Also cited are some films like "Barber Shop 2," "Up," and "The Blues Brothers," in which the schemes of developers to build supermarkets or condominiums should be stopped at all costs, the alleged traditional bias of the film industry against businessmen, and the not in my backyard (NIMBY) thinking against urban growth and development.
